Hi everyone,

At ecomodder I am orange4boy here I'm just orange.

Just bought an old timer 1049 sq foot home in Port Hammond BC. That's a part of Maple Ridge near Vancouver BC. Buying a house here has become extremely difficult due to skyrocketing prices so this deal was a small miracle.

Like Daox, I'm near a railway.

It's in great need of insulation and efficient appliances. Roof is basically uninsulated and walls are 2x4. Floor and crawlspace are also bare. We may raise the house and add a floor. I need to build a garage workshop asap. Have nat. gas so some electric appliances will be replaced with gas. I want to get an on demand gas water heater.

That's the short list.

Good to see so many familiar faces here. Can't wait to get started.
