Throwback to the time Duane concocted a Rube Goldberg device to erect a wall while drinking a beer for #makersmonday. This space is now finished and is the current casting studio of Xover0 Jewelry.

The UK's home retrofit programme is progressing at roughly a tenth of the speed needed to meet climate targets.

Andrew Spencer from Equans outlines the scale of the challenge and what must change.

I know from my day job that people now understand the value and difference #retrofit can make to the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of their homes.

This matters in the heat of increasingly 🥵 summers, as well as cold winters 🥶.

Insulation is the best bang for your buck. It will keep you cooler in these raging heatwaves as well as warmer in winter.

But I honestly until that conversation hadn’t really considered that working in #retrofit was a gendered job.

Yes, it’s part of the construction industry. But actually I’ve always met a lot of women both in the office and on site through it.

Fingers crossed we’ll see more girls excited to wear steel toe caps and have a hard hat on their head!

Despite having worked in #retrofit industry for quite a few years now, I’ve always been office based. When I do get to go to site it’s usually someone’s home or the rare time it’s a void (no one living there) I’ve borrowed kit.

But today I got given my own hard hat, hi-viz and steel toe capped boots by my employer. I felt like I’d arrived!

I decided to suprise the kids by picking them up from school. They were thrilled to see the kit and immediately wanted to wear it home!

I too feel bitterly disappointed by #Labour’s commitment and planning on domestic #retrofit.

Yes, the #Tories were horrendous, almost killing the entire industry and set back our progress by a decade.

But Labour knew this. They had 14 years in the wilderness to put together a plan to govern and rebuild this country. Apart from work on the National Grid, there is no sense they had any notion of the scale of the challenge. So yes, I’m disappointed.
