Or, for around the same price, we could build homes using @WikiHouse blocks made from wood grown in Scotland, which emits a fraction of the carbon. In fact, when count the stored carbon in the wood, they’re carbon negative. Just saying.

What we learned here is that Amber @Ala0600 can do a 6hr @WikiHouse build without even breaking a sweat, and then give an impressively coherent interview at the end of it 😎 https://t.co/LrbvY5rtN2

New @WikiHouse designs library includes this garden studio pattern, which you can build for yourself for around £18k-20k, and (in most cases) without needing planning or building regs approval. Less hassle than building an extension. -Much- less hassle than moving house.

We added a designs library to the @WikiHouse website. https://t.co/u5M8ADQzjp At the moment it has just three designs in there. Would love to hear ideas for building types that we should add in future

In the UK (where WikiHouse started) it makes absolute sense to use locally sourced, structural #OSB If you haven't already, visit our block library - with info and files for 190 different #WikiHouse blocks, free for everyone to download and design with. https://t.co/GZcE9IhM5e

SterlingOSB Zero's shear strength leads to selection for @WikiHouse switch. WikiHouse spoke to us about why they switched from imported plywood to our UK-produced, #carbonnegative SterlingOSB Zero: https://t.co/VkJbkhD1SD #mmc #offsite #construction
