Both Melissa and myself are pharmacists working locally. I grew up in the town and we bought this property in 2003 as our first home together. I am a keen DIYer and the improvements made have been as a gradual piece by piece process rather than a fully blown eco-refurb. We started with small improvements such as changing to low energy lighting and then progressed to topping up the loft insulation and having the wall cavities filled.
Our motivation has changed over time as the project has developer. Initially working to be free of fossil fuels and very environmentally driven, as well as providing challenging DIY projects. This has then been added to by a desire to use as little bought in fuel as possible.
