all the mod cons!

 Well this posting's not much about strawbale building; more the leap forward we took from the old fashioned and minimal conditions to our leaps forward into 21Century!

First our flush toilet!  The copper cistern hides a modern low water use flush which all goes down to our worms so we try not to flood them too often.  Demolition World in Invercargill was the source of many of our reclaimed bits.




Eartha, the heart of the house, who provides us with heat, cooking, oodles    of hot water .

The weekly clean out.

Our coffee sack curtains stitched together and hung with copper wire the electrician left behind.  Doubtful that these are permanent but they've done a great job of stopping the drafts and keeping us feeling snug this winter.   

 We hung the door curtain using more copper wire and driftwood -  true recycling going on here though it mightn't make it to the interior designers best looks of the season!
