Did you know that somewhere between 80% and 90% of the energy used to heat water ends up going down the drain? A Drain Water Heat Recovery system helps you pre-heat incoming cold water using a simple passive device. https://www.sonbuilthomes.com/drain-water-heat-recovery/

Today was the AGM for the Canadian Home Builder’s Association of Fraser Valley. @chba_fraser_valley Thanks to outgoing President Dan Dueck and looking forward to the leadership of our new President, Mark Shatford. As well, a huge thank you to our Executive Officer Jennifer Cotton for all her hard work!! @chbanational @chba_bc #abbotsford #homebuildersassociation #fraservalley @jenhainescotton

#Repost @holmesapprovedhomes with @get_repost A great structure starts from the ground up and @sonbuilt custom homes they take that mantra literally and seriously. One of their first steps they take in creating a safe home is to lay @radoncorp Radon Guard[yellow] and Radon Block [white] within the foundation and with the additional step of a Radon vent pipe, this home will be safe from Radon gas for the current and future families! Additional Holmes Approved Products that will be included in this home are Mike's recommendation of a whole home surge protector from @eaton_electric and @schlutersystemsna for waterproofing bathrooms. Builders that know better, build better, great job Jonathan and team! #mikeholmes #makeitright #holmesapprovedhomes #sonbuilt #radoncorp #radonblock #radonguard #radonguardinsulation

October 3, 1992 .. 28 years. We were building our first house and dreaming big dreams. #anniversary #wedding #couple #soyoung

Quote for today: People love to step out on a deck and not see anyone or anything except a great view. Even if the only view is the vast sky, the feeling people get is expansion and relaxation. - Amanda Sturges. . . . #quote #deck #decklife #construction #highperformancehome #taylorlanding #holmesapproved #newhomesbuiltright

This Sonbuilt High Performance Home shows as well today as it did 10 years ago when it was built. Certified in the R-2000 NRCan program, the homeowners were stunned by the low energy bills when they moved in! #highperformancehome #nrcan #r2000 #healthyhome #memories #abbotsford #instagram #builder #design

Installing the septic tanks at Taylor Landing.

Progress update at Taylor Landing.

Digging the trench for the geo exchange system at #taylorlanding. This home will have a horizontal ground loop. A geo exchange system makes a new home very energy efficient and is a strong option for many clients. #geoexchange #geothermal #fromtheground #heatsource #energyefficient #netzero #highperformancehome #newhomesbuiltright #holmesapproved #stepcode #construction #abbotsford #langley #chilliwack #fraservalley #bc #canada

Someone shared this with me on Twitter. Mike Holmes Jr. said it was called a "drainage plug," and he would technically be correct here...

An array of solar panels on a High Performance Home will save substantial dollars on energy bills each month. This photo is our roof. We generate solar power year round, even in cloudy days.

This High Performance Home is being roofed and when the home is done it will have an array of solar panels. By harnessing the sun our client at #taylorlanding will save substantial dollars on their energy bills.

Everyone gets involved in building a new home, especially special family members like Abby!
