About this blog

This is a blog following the renovation/upgrade of a 1960's ish semi-detached bungalow.  We bought it in 2017 for my elderly parents and are now planning for a complete new extension to the rear and side, as well as improving the insulation and air-tightness of the whole building.  While the majority of the large scale work is not going to take place till they no longer need the place, I do want to improve the energy efficiency and comfort. 

 

So instead of jumping in with some things which later need altering, I am looking to come up with a staged plan of works, employing a local company to help. They specialise in 'Eco' design for 'Ethical, inspiring and green' builds.  

 

I am also hoping for advice from here on many matters.  It will take some years to finish but i wanted to start recording the adventure😄.
