As the fall harvest winds down with freezing the vegetables (no pickling this year) and prepping the seeds for next, my efforts turn to the green renovation project consultancy I feel is needed.

Over the past year, I took a course on home renovation put on by Héritage Montréal, and then put my new knowledge and project management skills to work.

The goal is to:

• impact the natural world less by conserving the resources your home uses (electricity, water, landscaping, etc),
• protect your abode and your investment in it by enhancing its quality, durability, and appeal.

That sounds dry and market-y, but really, the more long-range the decisions you make, the better your home’s intrinsic and emotional value will be. Because people want to live in a place that is not only green, but unique, well-designed/considered, and loved. I’m still “validating” the service, which means finding out what people want. But in the meantime, I’m doing it for myself.
