Other Environmentally Friendly Ways to Heat the Home


Geothermic Heating


KITCHEN :)




The last couple of days my dad and i have been putting up the frame and rafters for our added kitchen. We have been through the process of chainsawing out a hole through the timber of the whisky barrel its  self; putting a lintel in above it so that the now unsupported timber/ roof section would be safe again; digging trenches in the top soil to reach the sad level (2.5 ft deep); getting their placement a bit off so having to dig corrections; levelling out recycled breeze blocks to be our foundations; then the floor came (size of a stirling board sheet 2400x1200, with added triangles at the edges); and now finally the frame has gone up and you can all see some change in presence. We have a real kitchen shape :).

Happy days! Here are some other angles:

Kitchen Going Up

My good old dad an i went out yesterday in the frosty cold in the afternoon and did the first steps of building the kitchen. I was on the cutting list at the saw and he fitting it all in. These parts of building are so exciting as you begging to see what kind of space you will have and how it looks within your garden space. We can now see the framing of the east facing view. Slowly Slowly.
