Looking forward – the major jobs
October18
So… these are some projects for which we need money, solutions or expertise:
- Glassing in the front porch (which will provide a solar gain to the house in winter months).
- Purchasing solar water heating panels and attaching to the boiler.
- Solar photo voltaic panels for electric (we’re in a valley so not enough wind).
- Insulation of walls – internal insulation will mean we can do this ourselves, and also not alter the façade of the building.
- Taking down the derelict barns- it would be amazing to be able to convert some of these collapsed buildings into greenhouse space.
- Disposing of the grey tiles.
- Finishing the utility room floor.
- Rewiring the electrics in the utility room.
- Repair of ceilings in corridors where collapsed.
- Shellac of beams in attic.
- Renovation of windows in attic.
- Stripping and polishing wooden floor in lounge.
- Fixing the hole in the pond so we can put rainbow trout in.
- Re-flooring the attic with layer of insulation underneath.
- Bathroom tap stand.
- Completing repaint of radiators we bought from the scrap yard.
- Hand-washing sink for composting toilet (not just tap on wall).
- Putting up fence for the sheeple so that they can graze on the other side of the pond (so giving the trees more of a chance in 2012).
- The swimming pond.
- A yurt.
