Architect at work





Geoff Warner, the brains behind the world-famous weeHouse brand, put some brawn into our Loveless weeHouse project on a recent fall day, and we are ever grateful to him for it.

He arrived with a tool belt and an array of ideas about how to solve the continuing water problem, much of it the result of our Saturn weeHouse getting a bit banged up in its previous life.

Geoff and Chris spent the day pulling off boards, and re-flashing and caulking around the windows. In the weeks ahead, Chris and I will fine-tune the gutter system and add some corrugated metal and flashing on the sides, with the idea that the existing Hardie boards will act as a rain screen.

Then, we’ll cross our fingers and await the spring snowmelt.
