And they moved in. Glad that they are happy. Not for everybody reacheble because you need some money. But at least these people spend their money to a sustainable house. Who's next?

#sustainablebuilding

Typical Saturday morning (for us!): used our massive front-loader to move our equally massive jarrah timbers (reclaimed materials for our eco-home construction). These two beams have an incredible story: they were part of the Esperance tanker jetty, constructed in 1935 and demolished in 2016. However, these two beams are not actually from the demolition. Instead, they were removed in the 1970s when a ship collided with the jetty, causing damage. A local jetty worker stored the beams in his shed for the past 40 years! Importantly, for a very long, sad period of our history, the jetty (and thus, these timbers) marked the boundary for local Aboriginal communities. Their people were forced to leave the township (their traditional lands) and be out past the jetty (“line in the sand”) before sunset, or risk being arrested. This persisted until 1967 (not ancient history, folks). In placing these timbers at the front entrance of our home (and on traditional lands which we bought, but will never ‘own’), we create an opportunity tell this important story to all who visit 💛

One of my favourite #sustainablebuilding #podcasts is this one from Jeffrey Hart. This episode with John Mullaney, the coal miner turned fireman turned #greenwoodworking guru is really fantastic.

More hard questions being asked -- What about carbon emissions from energy used in existing buildings? What movement is there on this front, and will it be enough?

The panel on Embodied Carbon Modeling was awesome -- How does saving carbon today during construction stack up agaonst saving future carbon via operations? What tools are available now for doing this work? What the heck even is it, exactly? No matter your familiarity, I think you'll like this one.

The Thursday long read - A new housing scheme designed by Coady Architects in Wicklow has achieved the highest green home certification – while suggesting that the convictions of one practice on a single project can help to transform the industry. - https://mailchi.mp/passivehouseplus/measure-everything
