Today's video is a real treat as we take you on a special tour of Ross Elliott's property. Ross, the former owner of Homesol Building Solutions, has been our trusted partner for over a decade, ever since we completed our very first certified passive house.

But here's the exciting part – Ross's house has earned prestigious R2000 and Energy Star certifications, along with an impressive 80-point building score, placing it in the coveted LEED Platinum category. This means we're about to witness a living example of what a healthy, highly efficient, and environmentally conscious home looks like.

Additionally, Ross will unveil the one-of-a-kind features of his property, including a straw bale home where he and his family lived during the main home's renovation, their maple syrup shack where they collect sap from about 140 trees each season, and the innovative greenhouse, originally insulated with bubbles, all powered by solar energy.

This house and property have been a lifelong labor of love for Ross. He continually enhances it, and even today, after years of dedication, he's adding new features that we'll have the chance to experience firsthand.

Join us for this exclusive one-on-one experience as Ross guides us through his remarkable property – it's a testament to what's possible when a passion for sustainability and innovation meets a lifelong commitment to creating something truly extraordinary.
