Spring Has Sprung!
(last week for a few days, maybe....)
Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where dem boidies iz?
After a long and quiet winter staring at my Building Permit I have finally ordered some stuff and we are moving ahead yet again. My driveway and garage now resemble Home Depot on a bad day.
The delivery #1 was on a rainy day so the absorbent layers were stuffed into the garage. The family car is "out" for the duration.
Growing medium does not look particularly light-weight at all.
The "drainage layer is actually very light so won't be too big a deal to install it.
This afternoon we start the serious work on the railing and root barrier for the kitchen roof. It is the most accessible - "most" being a relative term.
We're now on a bit of a timeline as the sedum mats are arriving on the Friday of the May long weekend - only 3 weeks away.
I did have a (n e-mail) chat with my local City building inspector to learn that they will be delighted to look at it - when its finished.
Full steam ahead and dodge the torpedoes!
Will keep you posted.
BTW, I had the pleasure of helping out at Don Mills CI on their Earth Day celebration this week Spoke to some slides for half an hour about Cool Roofs : PV Solar Systems and Green Roofs. It went well and they were a very receptive audience. About 250 teenagers and a few staff.
