Sub contractors

As is typical in the Kootenays, there are lots of people who know an electrician, a roofer, a foundation guy, or an excavator. We took down as many names and phone numbers as we could and I'm enjoying the handling the logistics and timing of the contractors.

Hart and the post and beam team will be ready to start in the first week of May. This means we need the site cleared, excavated and foundations set by then. We found a great young guy named Chris in pass creek to do the excavation, another Chris is doing the form work and is in charge of the foundations. We've also been talking to a Joe about electrical hook-up, we have an account set up with Fortis (the electricity company), and are talking to Brent from Tri-City pumps about installing the well pump.

I would like to thank Younes (my UBC supervisor) for lending us his generator until we get the power hooked up. We're having issues figuring out the electrical hookup because of the distance between the road and the cabin, and the generator is able to provide the contractors with what they need.
