Winds and decisions

High winds were forecast so yesterday was spent scaffolding the 2 A frames and the East wall.
Not the most lady like of jobs...but needs must! The winds came and went and so do my ideas!

I have decided that insulation insulation insulation is the key to a warm home, so thermalite blocks and kingspan in the floor and perhaps in the south gable to bring up the uv values.

I feel that solar slates can meet our DHW demands and i am going to look at a log burner with a boiler for winter space heating and DHW.

Red sandstone window ledges I think!

Even Harold Wilson said...

'He who rejects change is the architect of decay...' I must quote this to our building inspector and David, they keep suggesting that it is time I stop changing the plans! I was thinking about having an internal wall ( the gable in the lounge) in face brick! To save on painting in the future as it is 2 floor high- Which of course has the depleating effect on the U values, there must be a way of offsetting this,I am sure Mr Kingspan could help, I will not mention the cost to David, or I could leave the receipt in the same pile as the Kelsa light bar reciept!! I feel some research coming on...People are so patient with me, it's a good job really
