About
This is the record of my attempts to create an environmentally friendly modern house out of an old cottage.
My previous house was self-build bungalow which I intended to be an eco-home right from the start. It worked very well and incoorporated many of the features that I wanted such as high insulation, solar panels, air source heat pump, under-floor heating and rainwater collection. However in hindsight I recognised that if doing it again, I might do things a little differently.
Some things didnt work quite as well as I would have liked, and others didnt seem cost effective and turned out to be a chore. I hoped to rectify these mistakes in this new challenge which would not have the advantages of being purpose built.
