“Be like the sun for grace & mercy
Be like the night to cover others' faults
Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage & anger
Be like the Earth for modesty
Appear as you are
Be as you appear”

This is not to say all we need to do is electrify transport and build renewables, we should also be looking to radically reduce car ownership and miles driven, and to radically increase miles by 🚲 🛴 🚶‍♂️🚃 🚊 and 🚌.
Nails arriving tomorrow so time for a bit of cleaning before putting the floorboards down. Not much use in having the low-dust house (airtight and filtered fresh air through the MVHR) if there’s a load of dust right under the floorboards! #Passivhaus #EnerPHit ImageImage
Making some more holes so I can measure exact distance between studs so @Drew_Carr_ can finalise the downstairs window sizes.

What on earth is building paper anyway? Just waxy paper? Does anyone still use it? Image

At winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the sun shines down this 5,000 year old passage and hits the back wall. The Neolithic chambered mound lies about 500m off the Brittany coast, on the small island of Gavr'inis.
These beautifully carved stone slabs support a 17-tonne stone slab acting as the roof of the tomb. At the time of its construction, c. 3500 B.C., the island was still connected with the mainland, and is today only accessible by boat.
