The Real Thing: Starting from Scratch with a Victorian House (event post)
at 8 Musgrove Road, SE14 5PW
A local family have bought a barely-updated Victorian house precisely so that they can eco-renovate it from scratch, but don't quite know where to start. Two local architects will be helping us think through some of the possibilities in an informal way.
Drinks and light nibbles will be provided - please e-mail info [at] peckhampower [dot] org to give us some idea of numbers for catering purposes

The Real Thing: Insulating Victorian Homes (event post)
Learn about how to insulate our old, solid-walled Victorian homes from those who have actually done it. The event will be hosted at Jack Kelly's house in Peckham. At the time of writing, Jack is currently insulating the living room. You can read all about Jack's insulation project on his blog entry (with lots of photos). With luck the insulation will be finished by the 15th July and we can take a look at the room and look at photos of the work.Read the rest of this post
