Kits and Mortar

Email This Entry

Posted by Suw Charman

It's been a few years since I last started a new blog and the old itch has returned in the form Kits and Mortar, our new eco- and cat-friendly self-build blog. I've wanted to build a house for as long as I can remember and it's a dream that Kevin shares too. Now that we're married, it's time to think about what that would really entail and, if I'm going to research something, I might as well blog it! Kev's going to join me, and we're going to write about every aspect of self-building, from thinking about materials to figuring out what sort of design we want to coming up with ideas for making the house cat-friendly.

This is a bit of a departure in some ways. It's been a long time since I've done any "commercial" blogging, but this one will have ads and will be a bit of an experiment to see what can happen if you have passion and ads in one place. We've already had an amazingly positive response from lots of the people we've mentioned it to, which is a very positive sign.

Either way, though, I'm going to enjoy having a new writing project to focus on!
