Two projects I work on outside the day job. Each keeps its own log, so more articles and updates show up here as they go.
Building a home with my own hands, one weekend at a time. Same reason as the day job: I learn best by doing, with other people around.
Why I chose to build a house by hand, and what I want to learn from doing it.
The first big milestone, and the first big mistakes.
What a bricklayer taught me about patience and feedback.
Co-running our neighbourhood group to make the block greener and easier to live in: shared energy, more planting, fewer cars.
How a few neighbours and a WhatsApp group turned into a plan to make our street greener.
Our first try at shared energy, and the paperwork behind it.
Swapping pavement for planting, and getting the street to join in.
