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!
