The Moe's River Dream

Building sustainably and beautifully in Quebec

Bonjour/Hi! We’re Pip and Jay, the dynamic duo building our home (mostly) ourselves in Moe’s River, just outside of Sherbrooke Quebec. We hope this blog will help inspire you or someone you know to build more sustainably, even if you’re a Millennial on a budget, and haven’t built a house before.

The main topics we’ll keep coming back to are:

Traditional Building with Natural Materials vs. High Performance Building

Beauty on a Budget (where to Save and where to Splurge)

DIY vs. Subcontracting (when to hire a professional)

First up, we want to dive into the beginning, of designing our Green Dream Home, and the search for land.

We’re excited to share our process and our progress!

Thank you so much for reading,

Pip & Jay
