The owner of this 1963 modest 1976-foot south Boulder home moved in on October 2, 2023. She had previously lived in a near German Passive House home, so within the first 8 weeks, she was able to insulate and completely electrify this new-to-her home thanks to her almost one stop shop contractor. Below is a list of some of the work done. She also can share information about rebates, future plans, and her six-month battle with Xcel to stop charging her for gas service.

THE EXACT LOCATION WILL BE SENT IN AN EMAIL A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT.
