Peckham

    Kensington: Claire needs a cup of cement. Why do people take on a project if they don't have planning permission and/or sufficient funds?

    I would like to find the details of a round log fire I saw a 2010 episode. The episode where the widowed mother carried on building the house. Her husbands name was Nat.

    Saw the Cotswolds episode last night - "uk's first passive home". Aesthetically left me cold. But I am curious about the effect of removing all drafts out of a house, completely. They seal this house to well over 10 times the UK air-leakage standard. It was almost airtight. Great for retaining heat.... but can you go too far? What happens when you cook? -could a gas stove top burn up the oxygen in the house? (dont laugh - unflued's gas heaters do). When does "fresh air" become "drafts"?
