Great News!

As mentioned in my previous post, I sent off an email to my contact who's interested in being involved with my research. I received a reply earlier today with positive feed back; him and his wife are on board and are allowing me to design a passive solar hemp house tailored to their needs. We will be having an online meeting tomorrow to discuss their wants and needs for the design. I should have some sketches ready shortly and will post them as soon as possible. Not sure of the exact location of the lot at the moment, but below is Nelson, B.C. to give you an idea of the area.
