Gareth J Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Hello all, Have lurked for a while, absorpting some great information. Currently living in and, room by room, "extreme decorating" an old stone and earth cottage. Trying to allow breathability, seal unwanted draughts, plan for more mindful ventilation and, ultimately, EWI. If we ever get there. Also interested in renewables; most of the hot water and a good chunk of heating is supplied from excess generation from PV and a small wind turbine.

SteamyTea Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Welcome. Which bit of Cornwall, it is a long county. Good luck getting a wind turbine past planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a baby one but glad to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you're down past Bodmin it's all tourists and pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emmets pay my wages. And we are immensely proud of the polluted landscape, we jazz it up with names like "Heritage" and "Historic". Allows us to charge and extrs quid.

Susie Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Great another local member. im in Morwenstow. The right end of Cornwall I know of a little house just by the side of the main road with ground mounted solar and wind turbine. If that’s you I’m sorry but I look out the car window every time I pass thinking how nice it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one, that's more or less in the forestry, is a curious one. Used to be a little service building (water, electric or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
