How can the best of traditional and modern design and technology be combined to create a carbon neutral home? In the mountains above Kyoto, Japan, one man, (with the help of his friends, family and neighbours), sets out on an intrepid journey to design and build a truly sustainable eco-home. Follow me as I encounter the challenges and solutions that the house and its mountain forest environment present.

The Wall
No, not the Pink Floyd album, but the long awaited living room feature wall. Here just finished last night. Paint yet to come obviously.
Built a wall today
Spent a few hours putting this wall together today. Looking good! Be better with a coat of paint. Used fiber mesh tape and Japanese putty for the joints. Worked well.

Tile Cutter Speeds Work
The 600x600 marble effect ceramic tiles I procured months ago can finally be put to use on the window sills and bathroom walls. This thing cuts them almost effortlessly! Nice purchase from B&Q home centre in the UK (thanks Mum!).
