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/

jayne millimetre
After yesterday's heavy rain we had to pump out the water filled trenches we were going to work on today but by home time at 7:15 p.m. we had finished the porch and end walls for both roundhouses - about a 15m run and shuttered and filled to 50mm on one angle on the east side of both roundhouses. Jayne raked and tamped and as usual got the finish millimetre accurate hence her new name. 3.5 cubes so far - 0.2 over quantities calculated to fill extra depth. As she says not many women in their mid 50s are laying foundations but we make a good team - the odd whinge and occasional expletive notwithstanding.
