This is my own house, an old farmhouse that has been renovated top to bottom over the last decade. The roof was replaced with metal for harvesting rainwater and greater durability; the third floor attic was converted to my office with sustainably harvested maple flooring, wiring and lighting, and a new cable rail; the Second floor got new trim, refinished salvaged doors, an enlarged closet, and carpets removed to expose the fir subfloors; the bath was gutted and renovated with a claw foot soaking tub/shower that has tiled niches and a perfect view of the huge fir tree in the front yard; the 1st floor was completely gutted and renovated, and several small additions were removed, resulting in a smaller footprint with much more functional space; the enlarged kitchen has direct access to the back yard, salvaged maple flooring, recycled paper counters, many more windows, and a an ecoroof; the living and dining areas were opened up to each other with a new clean and efficient wood stove plugged into the old furnace chimney, and a new bay window was added on the south to bring in more natural light; a separate music room/study was created with french doors; the bath was renovated with a better layout; the forced air heat was replaced with in-floor hydronic heat from a single tankless hot water heater; all of the finishes in the house are no/low VOC, including milk paint, natural oil and wax wood finishes, and various new paints as they came out ( I like to experiment on my house first); fixtures, doors, windows, flooring, and cabinet doors, were salvaged and reused; over time, we have slowly whittled away at our energy and water use with new energy and water efficient appliances, indoor and outdoor laundry lines, water saving plumbing fixtures, new insulation and air sealing, new windows, energy efficient lighting, a manual doorbell, solar shades, and a small solar panel. Last on the list is a whole-house rainwater harvesting system and a grey water irrigation system.
