"Our commitment to the environment"

          This is the way to our place! 

   The back of the house and the closest pond. 

                       My wind turbine is 108 feet tall. 

                      The "attachments" are solar panels

                       configured in 2 groups of 6 and 9.

      How Green are We?

I run our entire home office on the Bruce Peninsula without the need for outside electricity, water or sewer. We try to "fend for ourselves" so to speak up here. In fact, the only way we know that the electricity is out is when the light on the stove goes out. Our wind turbine tower is 108 ft. tall and the turbine puts out 3300 watts of power at peak. There are also 15 solar panels (Arranged in 2 tiers of 6 and 9) that supplement the turbine on days that there is little wind.

Both are run into a battery system and then we can withdraw power thru 2 inverters that change the direct current from the battery system to alternating current. That is how our offices, (and most places) are set up.

Next is a solar water heater.

When this is installed (hopefully this spring) we will be able to stop using fossil fuels to run our business forever (At least that's the plan). We even have a solar powered lawn mower.

 "Our Library of whatever you could possibly imagine you would ever want to know about bathroom information". 

All kinds of exciting things can happen in bathtubs, I don’t think I need to remind you. But sometimes we need a little relaxing too. Not just our body, but especially your mind. Just to get rid of all the distortion and noise that collects within our heads over time and disrupts our thoughts and emotions. Luckily, bathtubs will help us here too. Whether your tub is made from fibreglass, porcelain, wood, acrylic or steel, it’s the universal manner of relaxing our senses and collecting our thoughts. The soft sounds of the water splashing, the shimmering light reflecting on the rippling surface, the warm feeling of the texture of water on your skin, the slight echo of the bathroom magnifying every sound. You can feel the tension seeping from your tired body and mind.

This list is especially for those occasions. Late at night, when it feels as if the world is at sleep, you can finally be at ease and forget about the stress that comes with our modern, fast-paced society. Turn off the lights and close your eyes, all you need is a tub, some hot water, a headache and this play list.
