Lower heating costs, recycled materials, and sustainability: those are just some benefits of a house Jay and Jen Hannigan are building on the Kingston Peninula.
Jen Hannigan tells CHSJ News the home is insulated by the earth itself and using mainly recycled materials.
There have been some difficulties because the building doesn’t meet code but the Hannigans say they’re willing to put in the time and money to get it changed. She says it’s an educational exercise and once it’s finished they’ll welcome members of the community who want to take a look.
