Sometimes we forget how awesome Edmonton is!!!  Our good friend and colleague Shafraaz Kaba has been on an adventure with his family for the past few years.  And we are not talking about a "stay-cation" or a relaxing trip to the Rockies.

The Kaba family has tirelessly and diligently been "Chasing Net-Zero" throughout the design and construction of their home and have been sharing their stories and discoveries along the way in person and on their blog chasingnetzero.blogspot.com .  We were happy to help where we could during the interior work, and always had a great time meeting the vast network of people Shafraaz had called on for some good ole' skill sharing and building.

The result has been an amazing home, dreamt up by a family, executed by an amazing team, and built by a community.

The highlight for us was when David Suzuki and his daughter Sarika spent the day at the Kaba house, learning all about the unique aspects of the homes systems, construction and finishes, while filming for their new show "the Suzuki Diaries".  They even donned safety glasses and work gloves, and with a nail gun in hand, helped finish off the second floor patio!! Amazing!

The Episode will air on CBC this week so be sure to check out the Suzuki Diaries website to see when it airs in your region, or watch it online!
