Hi ya ~ we just got here

Well, isn't this a fine howdy-doo. :) The door is open but we don't have anywhere for folks to sit yet. Hopefully that will change once I get the hang of working with this site ~ since I am a Luddite, this may take a bit.

But I guess you might be wondering (well, I hope you are....) why we're here.

First of all it's for selfish reasons ~ I wouldn't want anyone to think that we're pulling a fast one here. My partner has had a bit of a dream going on for a few years and we've decided to go for it. What the heck, eh?

He's been a roofer in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia for almost forty years and, frankly, that's not a trade that's easy on older bods.  Experience over the the decades has made him highly proficient and knowledgeable in multiple aspects of waterproofing ~ (living in a coastal rain forest zone; go figger) ~ and he's decided that it's time he partnered that lifetime of learning with his interest in greener and healthier work (and home) environments.

Anyway, a few years he ran across a line of sealant products that really, really work. (In his line of work out here on the Wet Coast, that's a real plus.)

Not only that but they're made in.... Tah dahhhhh!

CANADA!

(Being Canadians, we kinda hot on that as a big deal. *g*)

And, even better than that, they're non-toxic *and* environmentally friendly!

How cool is that?

I think it's cool. But then I've grown up around building materials, paints, sealants, etc... that we are now finding out are not good for our bodies and our planet. Sorry for the rude awakening, folks, but there it is.

So here we are. Again.... On one hand I intend to extol the virtues of the sealant products that we are trying to introduce into BC, and on the other hand, I want to look at the 'greening' of construction trades, practices and materials.

I'm not an expert so it's likely going to be a major learning curve for me ~ and, if I get off me arse, perhaps some learning for you. The wonderful world of sealants, construction materials and being 'clean and green' therein is new to me and I want to share.
