We are lucky enough to be building in a close to town location in NW Tasmania, Australia. We wanted to have independent power, a self sufficient garden and some inspiration from the beautiful surroundings that we are the steward of. Building is in the family and we have seen a lot of waste particularly in unnecessary external heating and water use, so we hope to get some of it right.

A long time between bales
So what has been happening, the house has continued to progress slowly, work committments, unforseen difficulties (like the bridge being washed away, but good things come to those wait. The most important factor to date that has not been published is our attempt to prepare for bushfires. So the next few posts will hopefully shed some light onto how this has influence our final design. I will also put some photos up with our progress to date which includes a slab, frame, roof, shed fit out, the start of vegie garden, chook house, brick chimney and soon to have windows. We (my partner Sonya and I) are still embarking on a great journey and I hope this gives others a buzz to either start such an adventure or just lifts the spirits of those who have already started.
