  • Although I have no immediate plans to do anything like this atm, I'd be interested in seeing your blog.

    Sure, when I have added some content (hopefully this weekend) I'll share the link.

    Hi

    Some of our local eco-houses have a green roof as has the garage/rootshed/workshop on another local foodie. According to the architect of the houses (who lives in one) a 15 degree slope makes a huge difference to the problem of water ingress. The houses must have been up 20 years now - timber frame basically Segal constuction.
