Along with making Hillside a more pleasant and warmer place to live, we want to be wise in our use of resources, reusing and recycling as much as possible. This was always our intention, even before somebody had coined the phrase 'credit-crunch', and before every TV programme and magazine had latched on to being thrifty and making use of things that would otherwise be thrown away.
This weekend, thanks largely to Brian and his van, we were able to collect 40 paving slabs and a load of decking for reuse somewhere in the garden that would otherwise be thrown away. We haven't decided exactly where we'll use them, but as the slabs weigh 40kg each I'm not planning on taking them up the Hill!
We've also just installed the recycled glass bottle insulation into the 1st floor - funny how it looks so soft and fluffy yet is definitely not something you want to snuggle up into unless you want glass fibre stuck in your face.
