SIP stands for “Structural Insulated Panel”. These panels are made like a sandwich composed of two sheets of oriented strand board, (a durable and stronger version of plywood), plus rigid extruded, polystyrene foam (EPS) which comes in different thicknesses and various predictable insulation values (based upon the value R 4 per inch of thickness). These sandwich panels provide 2-3 times the strength of a traditionally built wall, floor and roof, because they have the properties of a continuous column or I beam. These panels don’t twist, warp or rack. Instead, they provide perfectly square and plumb walls, roofs and floors…which are a huge benefit to every builder.

A progressive and forward thinking microbrewery based in Victoria BC. Lighthouse Brewing Company is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year (2008). The first decade of success saw Lighthouse bring home a Gold medal with each of its four brand lines in the ever-growing Canadian Brewing Awards field. We are confident that Riptide Pale Ale (our newest beer) will shortly follow suit. We have also won two CRD Eco-Star awards for Outstanding Achievement in Source Control and continue to be one of the most conscientious local manufacturing businesses in the city.

Untamed Feast harvests specialty wild Mushrooms. Eric and Michelle Whitehead, respectfully harvest gourmet, wild mushrooms throughout beautiful British Columbia.
All of the mushrooms we harvest are gourmet edible species which have long been enjoyed in epicurean circles. These mushrooms are non-cultivatable, they are gathered from secret, wild remote regions in BC the old fashioned way, with high hopes, hard hiking and knowledge based on previous harvests.
