Hill End Ecohouse: Floods and Mud
http://hillendeco.blogspot.com/2011/01/floods-and-mud.html
New 6 STAR ENERGY-RATED sustainable small lot house in inner Brisbane. Saturday, January 15, 2011. High water mark on blockwork. Brisbane has just gone through the worst flood since 1974 and the ecohouse being on the river, had front row seats. Fortunately it survived the flood well, despite the waters coming inside half a metre up the walls on the river level. The owners cleaned as the waters subsided and apart from a damp base and slightly swollen timber doors, it looks relatively unscathed. The main s...

http://hillendeco.blogspot.com/2012/02/summertime-in-ecohouse.html
New 6 STAR ENERGY-RATED sustainable small lot house in inner Brisbane. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Summertime in the ecohouse. The house has passed the test in summer, without airconditioning, thanks to cool breezes and thermal mass. Mosquitos and other blood-suckers which share the riverfront site with its human residents have driven the need for insect screening. Additional storage is being added - a necessity for a full, family house. July 21, 2012 at 10:13 PM. This is really a nice post. March 21, ...
