  1. Very much enjoyed reading about your approach to the extension.

    Is it possible to build a family home with these materials on a modest budget ? How does it compare cost and energy efficiency wise and breathabilty with hemp-lime ?

    In particular I liked the importance that you placed on breathability of the walls in the extension.

    Thanks

  2. Thanks Jan,

    We found competitive prices for this job and good value. We are continuing to use this wall build-up in further house extensions.

    The man who converted me to the breathability of walls is Peter Woodcock from Econstruction Suppliers. He's the expert and can give you hard facts on hemp-lime.
