One girls DIY restoration of a cottage.

As far as possible we, me and MeWally, want an old age with low, or no, utility bills. We also happen to be stingey with money and will make as much eco stuff as we can and build it all into our tiny house.

So we'll have a comfortable home that's cheap to make and to run. RESULT!!

Wood Store Saturday 4.9.10


A weekend at home. A chance to get a few things done, weather permitting.


We need another wood store, as the little woodshed was too small last winter. All the wood stored outside was wet and took an age to dry, leaving us struggling for fuel at the coldest time of the year.

We need a simple roof to cover a 'wall' of wood - Alpine style.So here's the roof. having it's felt put on.


The brackets are sturdy and very simple.


It's well above head height and hopefully will keep the wood dry as it's a sheltered spot. We can always put on doors, or a tarp., if it doesn't offer enough protection. 

ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS MAKING THIS A ZERO CARBON HOUSE.
