Follow our experiences in self building our ecohouse on the west coast of Scotland on the Isle of Gigha on our croft plus the occasional rant about life the universe and everything. Our build is pretty innovative in being roundhouses (2 x linked dodecahedra) built in Structural Insulated Panels with no internal structural walls or timbers and with a turf roof. Never been done before or so we think. Check out our website at http://www.ecoroundhouse.co.uk/

water water everywhere
Today our main's water supply was connected. Just like our major stone delivery we have had another delay due to crossed lines in Scottish Water. The main is 62mm and our 300m of feeder water main is 32mm. The header reservoir is about 30m above our plot on the west side of Creag Bhan. Yet for some strange reason it seems like we are getting less than a bar of water pressure. We had hoped for 2 bar to power the unvented hot water tanks and the showers. Might have to have a rethink.
