Stinson Builders
While working on our own home my wife and decided to create a framework to help guide our decision making. While putting our ideas into writing I saw an opportunity to lay a foundation for all our future projects. From this point forward this is The Stinson Builders manifesto:
We pledge to:
- View the creation of your new home as: an adventure, an opportunity for expression, a learning and educating experience, and did I mention have fun.
- Respect the land, surrounding community, and existing stuctures.
- Listen, communicate clearly, and express our ideas and concerns.
- Reuse materials when ever possible/ and recycle what ever we can recycle.
- Use sustainable products when ever possible including all FCS certified lumber.
- Use non-toxic products: low/no voc emitting products.
- Catalogue MSDS sheets for all materials used and be able to clearly explain why we chose any product we use in the construction of your project.
- Build a healthy home in which children can grow up safely.
- Seek the knowledge and experience of other experts and resources.
- Explain our mission to all people working on the project and clearly express our desire to have them join in.
- Use products that conserve energy and will pay for them selves in 10 years.
- Use locally-made products when possible.
- Respect the existing materials with in a home by keeping our work areas clean and properly protecting any items we may have to work around.
- Approach building as a craftsman or artisian.
