I went down over the long weekend with Mum, Dad & the kids to batten the outside areas and a bit of extra work. We got up all the battens & insulation for the front and back areas. We also sheeted the front alcove. Mum got the window sills sanded and a 2nd coat of seal on them. We also did a massive tidy up, moving pallets to form a compost area, spreading more straw over the batter which should break down with all the rain we have had, cleaning up timber piles, rubbish dumps and laying bales out to stop water flowing toward the house. Have a few pics for this trip, just so much getting done and so much to do!

Thanks for sharing your experience. The pictures really do reflect what a labour of love it all is (building your own house) and, what fun it can be! We were visiting our Aussie relatives in Paynesville a couple of years back since which time they have been over to Blighty to see us at which time we discussed strawbale construction.
ReplyDeleteYour Blog has given me renewed confidence in pressing ahead with a similar project in windswept, dry North Norfolk, UK. Oh for your sunshine and rain!
