"How did you spend your Paddy's Day"?

Hoovering my garden, no joke.

Three neighbours have had a #DeepRetrofit done over the last few years and every time, it snows styrofoam.

This time was the worst. It's EVERYWHERE: thousands of pieces. The soil of the small wildflower meadow we've spent ages trying to nurture is now contaminated for at least 500 years, although we actually don't know how long it takes polystyrene to degrade – it could be forever.

Holzbau, hemp, earth building #deepretrofit >> ANY concrete palace you can show. (Challenge)

Do you have a #renovation or #deepretrofit to show? Here is a suggestion, I think hempcrete is perfect for many old buildings, not exclusively but especially timber frames. Just decide what should be visible, outside, inside or timber completely inside the hemp lime or hemp earth mix.
Does anyone have any resources for #DeepRetrofit for warm climates like #texas ? I'm planning some updates on a 1950s ranch style house, removing siding and resheathing, and would love some info on the best choices for hot climates. Spray foam? plus radiant barrier sheathing? Do soffits need to be removed? Heat pump options for 2500 sqft, and can I downsize from the current 8 tons of cooling after the insulation upgrade?
