6am. the subs and crew are up long before the sun rises. warm light in the morning. orange pink sunrises come after coffee. electricians and carpenters work around one another silently. socks shuffle on finished floors. unintentionally you work in a whisper so as to not disturb the quiet. as if the day itself has not yet woken.

A slope side home in late summer 🌻🌳🌞

In a few short weeks this passive house will be enveloped in snow again.

Despite seasonal shifts on the outside, its interior remains a constant 72 degrees.

Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation Found a new home in Outward Bounds old building and is in the process of adapting the space and making a few necessary upgrades. They reached out to us to partner with them on these upgrades - a perfect fit for our community program!

We reframed and added new windows to a solarium, added an ADA door and ramp to the back deck, and replaced a leaky roof that needed attention with the help of Western Maine Roofing!

Simple changes but there’s really no substitute for a dry roof and operable windows :)

Hopefully we’ll be able to support ME adaptive with more improvements to the building as funding allows. They do such great work! Thanks to all the crew and partners who worked on this one!

A huge congratulations to Delaney 🎉🥳 completing her apprenticeship and officially becoming a carpenter!

When Delaney arrived at our door she was no stranger to the jobsites with a background in commercial insulation. She was committed though to learning the trade of carpentry from the ground up.

Her dedication and determination are admirable and we are so impressed and grateful to have her on the team!! Here’s to bright future in an industry that you belong in🩷💜💙🩵💚🧡

Delaney has also chosen to generously share her story and perspective many times over the years, undoubtedly paving the way for others to join her in the industry. Thank you for all you do Delaney, we’re lucky to have you on the team 😊🤗

This winter we’ve been working on a cool community project in Bethel. Check out our blog post to read all the details! (Link in bio)

“Our goal is to expand participation in youth sports by reducing income barriers to participation and providing year-round opportunities that open up the outdoors for kids living in our region,” Wade Kavanaugh, the Mica Project’s Founder shares.

The addition of the home base for programming means local schools are able to collect in one place, train together and have reliable access to one of the state’s best Nordic and mountain biking locations.

As part of our Community Project Program, Maine Passive House supports the planning and construction of mission aligned projects with donated hours and a significantly reduced rate on construction.

We still need a few more dollars to bring this project across the finish line - if you or your company is looking for a good place to give back, consider sharing or chipping in! All donations are tax deductible.
