So, according to Kevin's voiceover, the house the guy was building was
being built of materials which stored heat from the summer to release in
the winter!

How does that work then? Surely for there to be enough heat put into the
walls for there to be any left at the end of the winter the house would
be unbearably warm in the summer!

Oh and 40 grand for a wind turbine that doesn't work! What a great
investment that was.

One point that never seems to considered by builders on Grand Designs is
that if you build a house that looks like an aircraft departure lounge or
a nuclear bunker, will it be saleable if they ever want to move?


If it really meets it's (net) zero electricity usage then I'm sure it will.

But it probably wont
