About this blog

We’re trying to create a more sustainable home and this blog will chart our progress. Our journey started a few years back but we have no idea when or how it will end. We'll share our learnings and pose questions such as should we renovate, relocate or detonate; can a house ever be truly sustainable; what does 'sustainable' mean? Will our journey be fraught or fascinating? Come along and share your own thoughts and experiences. Jenny and James

Work starts again

The crew have started work again and holes are everywhere. The fireplace is gone, the roof tiles are being taken off and some windows removed. With extra supporting beams and a tarpaulin to cover gaps, the house looks a bit like a trussed up chicken with a piece of foil on top.

While things are going to plan at our end, the woman buying the house has some challenges. Her block in Mansfield is under water and is unlikely to be dry enough to put the house on by the end of the month (as per the contract). So the house might half to be a halfway house for a while.
