    I’ve been planning for the last year some eco home upgrades, and awnings on the south facing windows are high on the list. With so many possible upgrades and so little money it’s difficult to know what to do first.

      do the cheapest and most simple things you can do first, even if minor, it provides a small window for you to royally fuck up and gives you some room grow into

      Awnings would likely be a pretty cheap and impactful one.

        I’ve put 500mm of insulation in the loft, plenty of mistakes made there.

        Just managed to get an electric awning to go over the lounge window for £140, fingers crossed it all goes well and if so I’ll do the upstairs windows too.

        15 more things on the list though.

          don’t worry, the list will grow shortly enough :)

          There is always something new to be doing unfortunately.
