And welcome to February! My apologies for the lack of recent blog posts. In some ways it would be nice if the intervening time had involved a spot of winter hibernation at Huff and Puff HQ (I like my sleep), but no such rest has been forthcoming. Instead, I’ve recently been working on a kitchen refurb that has allowed me to do some internal lime work and also try out some of the materials I’m hoping to use on other jobs. That’s nearly complete, so there will be a post and some photos soon.

We have some enquiries for sizeable jobs on the go at the moment, however nothing commissioned yet. In fact the only major job we have scheduled so far is our very own Apple Tree Nook project.

If you are interested in discussing work for this year please do get in touch. Planning and building regulations, if necessary, can take up a lot of time, so now is the time to begin!

Also, please get in touch if you’d like to do some hands-on learning about straw bale building, or if you’d just like some advice on your own build. I’m hoping to post more soon on this sort of thing, however at the moment suffice to say I’m happy to arrange something with you for a small fee for self-builders, or free of charge if we’re doing some work for you.

The next post will hopefully cover work on Apple Tree Nook, which I’m glad to say is restarting imminently!
