Help
Hello there ! I am currently building my house in a beautiful village called L'Anse St-Jean that is right beside the Fjord du Saguenay in Québec. I'd love some helping hands on this project. This is a timber frame house using as much as possible ecofriendly material, avoiding commonly use toxic material like styrofoam, urethane, concrete fondation, glue, paint etc. Some of the timber come from my dad's land that I harvested and milled.
I live on the site on a prospector tent. I made a dry toilet and an outside shower. I have electricity and water. I would say that I am more confortable then my apartment in Chicoutimi !
