http://torontonetzerohouse.blogspot.com/2010/12/toronto-building-permit-application.html

Toronto Net Zero Ready House Project. Thursday, December 9, 2010. How to get your building permit in 387 easy steps. Adrian asks me if there is somewhere where you can buy a piece of land and just build on it without having to go through the bureaucracy of building permits. I don't know but I'm guessing maybe somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Or possibly the moon if it doesn't get privatized anytime soon.

Toronto Net Zero Ready House Project: Goodbye garage

http://torontonetzerohouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/goodbye-garage.html

Toronto Net Zero Ready House Project. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. The driveway/garage, then, has been replaced with a full basement and a parking pad.

http://torontonetzerohouse.blogspot.com/2010_11_14_archive.html

Toronto Net Zero Ready House Project. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Aside from the fun we had, I also learned something that day. It was a bit of an a-ha moment actually. Looking back on this guy, I realize how ahead of his time he was, how ahead of our time he was. So much free solar and still so few people taking advantage of it. I say better start using it before the government finds some way of taxing it or some corporation starts bottling it and selling it back to us. There are some electronics which...
