Who says bigger is always better?

                Who says bigger is always better?  One of the most sustainable practices is trying to minimize our “eco-footprint.”  The Trinity we are working on and all other Trinities obviously use much less materials to build and renovate than your standard home given their size.  If anyone is interested in trying to simplify their lives, visit your local Philadelphia Trinity.  The home will use less materials, less waste, and less to heat/cool.  As wonderful as this project will be when it is complete, it will definitely have its fair share of difficulties along the way.  Simple things such as door openings, stairway clearances, ample room to work, etc. will all have to be analyzed ahead of time.  The extremely tight spiral staircase will be quite a formidable opponent, not letting us even bring full sheets of dry wall up the stairs.  The 24” wide fridge cannot even make the bend given the height and will have to be brought in through the second story window.  Due to the property being in an interior courtyard surrounded by townhomes and trees on the exterior, the air conditioner cannot be craned to the roof, but will have to be manually lifted…  Despite the challenges, it is going to be a really great project in the end.
