Hi there! Our sales team is happy to help answer these questions (the answers vary based on the lot, home, and energy usage of course), sorry that I don't have them handy! You can get in touch with our Sales Team at watercolourwestport.com.

Thank you! Everything, including the cupboards, is staged to showcase functionality and style.

Glad you like them! You get incredible value for what you pay and get to enjoy cottage lifestyle 😁

There is 1 GB fibre optic service, making working from home a breeze. 💨

Our homeowners can attest to the comfort and efficiency of the cold climate air source heat pumps, and heat pump hot water tanks in their fossil fuel free homes. Watercolour is a fossil fuel free community by design and build, however we do not prevent homeowners from adding other personal preferences after they move in. The propane tanks you saw are for a fireplace that one homeowner preferred, but aren't replacing the air source heat pump to heat the home.

@@landarkhomesThat’s great. Thanks for the clarification!

Thank you! 🫶

We agree!

Not necessary for the community, just a perk of the home! We include innovative technology for even basic things like a front door.

The triple latch front door provides a tighter seal for the air tight home feature. The security of it is just a great feature! But it's in cottage country in Ontario, so nothing to worry about!

I'll live with you

So could we! 😉

Hello! So sorry for the delayed response on this comment. We missed it! We do insulate the basement pad (and a whole lot more) Check out our Net Zero webpage if you're interested in a breakdown: watercolourwestport.com/net-zero/

We couldn't agree more.

Speak for yourself! A lot of people live in basements, I love my basement space.

Check out Matt Risingers video on 2x4, 2x6, or 2x8 walls. He has many visuals in the video.

Maybe this will help! th-cam.com/video/6CgQllE-BtU/w-d-xo.html

There are, just not well shown in this video :)

My post frame house isn't done yes but it's essentially a pole building that has 2 inch's if xps rigid foam between the post them a r23 mineral wool batt Infront of that then a 2x4 stud wall 1.5 inch's in from the post with r15 mineral wool batts. Behind every stud is r33 every post has 20ish that r20 at the post only occurs evey 8 ft though. Blown in cellouse in the attic that insulation literally fills the open header and touches the wall insulation. Raised heal trusses r60 attic r40 ish wall r20 slab can't wait to see the heating bills

​@@justinballard7242 it sounds good. You took a post frame which has 64 square inches of thermal bridging every 32 square feet, and added a double wall. That sounds great. What you started with before the double wall, for thermal bridging was 6 times better than a stud wall.

Thanks for your insightful comment Bob. Please come by our model home and we can talk with you more about this - or send us an email to set up a phone call at communicate@watercolourwestport.com

check out "Matt Risinger" on youtube. then playlists, "The Perfect wall" The series of items are: studs osb vapor barrier (zip system osb has an integrated vapor barrier as long as you tape and roll the joints) insulation rain screen and nailing members, sometimes the same, sometimes independent (if water gets through the siding, it will run out instead of staying in the wall) siding

Hard for me to comment on that Scott, but good thought. There are a lot of ways to achieve NZR efficiency!

that helps, but then in the winter your walls are cold, so moist inside air condenses on it, and your pipes freeze. If you put the insulation on the outside, the walls stay warm, so your pipes don't freeze, and the wall and vapor barrier are warm, so moisture does not condense on it.

I am excited to see your comment. Yes we truly are blessed to have a 200 year old community with so so many services. Would love to show you around the community in person if yo are ever near by.

Correct!

@@landarkhomes Good to know for all those gourmet chefs out there…..I guess there’s always induction! I appreciate your reply. If I may ask another question that wasn’t covered in your FAQ’s….I think it’s awesome that your homes are 50-80% more efficient but am wondering how that translates into operating costs. I’ve always heard that heating your home with electricity is more expensive than natural gas, so i’m wondering how much of that 50-80% more efficiency gets whittled down by the higher cost of electricity. Oh, and also, why not go to an on-demand tankless water heater instead of a hot water tank? Sorry, I guess that’s two questions!
