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

Lego for grown ups

January 2011
So much for builders disappearing for all of January. We had people on site from the first working day and before long the Hebel walls were going up. 
Hebel is an aerated concrete brick which is larger and lighter than traditional bricks but with much better thermal and insulating properties. It does not require any supporting structures and the blocks just get glued onto each other - Lego for grown ups.
