Habitat for Humanity/7 Rivers Maine and the Midcoast Green Collaborative have joined to offer opportunities for mid coast residents to learn how to make interior storm windows and reduce their energy costs.

Each Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at Round Top Farm, 3 Round Top Lane, off Business Route 1 in Damariscotta, there will be an instructor, supplies, and the opportunity to build windows at the site or take a kit home to build the windows. This service begins with each Saturday in October and extends into May 2014.

The windows’ cost is dependent on size, but is very affordable.

Led by Topher Belknap, whose Greenfret Consulting designed the windows for effectiveness, affordability and ease of insert, the storm window workshops will serve communities from Brunswick to Belfast.

Habitat and the Midcoast Green Collaborative thank Bob Hardina for his long-time dedication to providing this service to the community and pledge to carry it forward.
