    Default Thank you all

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Luke Potter and live at the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges of southern Gippsland in a district called Budgeree. Its a beautiful place, and very day I think of how lucky me and my family are to be here. Some of you may be familiar with this area - rolling grassy hills that once ran dairy herds is now a wonderful eclectic mix of dairy and beef cattle, market gardens, and hobby farmers.

    I am an electronic engineer and computer scientist by trade and have a keen interest in sustainable building and living technologies. My wife and I owner built our home against the odds, and against our rational judgement, and have created something that is very much a part of who we are and what we believe in - from the seeded polished concrete floor, to the stand alone wind and solar electricity generation system and our hydronic heating system.

    I get this feeling of contentment when working with timber that's difficult to put into words. The grain, the smell, and the way is responds to chisel and hammer is all very satisfying for me.

    I'd also like to say thank you for this opportunity to share my ideas and experience with you.

    Cheers,

    Luke

    Welcome Luke your right the area is very beautiful much like the north coast of NSW dairy areas which are closer to beaches, fishing and sunshine.

    House looks good will read further later.

    Welcome Luke,

    Just from the very well written thread of yours I have this overwhelming sense of envy. You must post some images of your house.

    Luke, Welcome. I'd love to come by your place some day and see what you have done. It sounds identical to my goals.

    Enjoy.
