Golem Housing Co-operative: March 2013
http://golemcoop.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Monday, 18 March 2013. Well hello, and what an exciting blog post we have today! I'm excited, anyway, and so are the others here at Golem HQ: the wall is in progress! If you pay people, stuff gets done! We are very fond of this new - if rather expensive - approach. Without further ado, I'll post loads of photos so you can enjoy the process for yourself. Day one - Finn was in truck heaven! Digging out the footings. Day one of wall building.

Golem Housing Co-operative: May 2013
http://golemcoop.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Thursday, 16 May 2013. With a month from the last blog post to this one, it's nice to have some photos that prove we've been doing things. Progress on the garden is slow but steady, as we concentrate on that to allow funds to accumulate in our bank account for the next big job on the house. I'm not feeling wordy today, so have lots of pictures instead :). Day one of installing the reclaimed paving. A small patch of sanity in a sea of crap.

A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Thursday, 21 May 2015. Golem Work Day, May 25th 2015. I'm just briefly posting to let you know we are having a work day on Monday May 25th. There will be a range of jobs including painting, cleaning up wood before waxing it, sorting storage for our new tool room and, for those who love to smash things, lifting the remaining concrete in the garden and digging out any glorious Victorian flagstones that we find. Hope to see you then! Two days l...

Golem Housing Co-operative: June 2013

A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Tuesday, 11 June 2013. June Work Weekend Details. Having just written the job list for this work weekend, I thought I'd share it on the blog so that you can see if you fancy coming along. So here's what we'll be up to:. We'll be moving rubble and possibly some top soil down the garden steps into a skip at the back. Level lawn and create slope. These are big plants and might involve quite a lot of digging (or building a fire on top of them).

Golem Housing Co-operative: January 2015
http://golemcoop.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Monday, 19 January 2015. We Need More Golems. Control over your living conditions and accommodation. A chance to live sustainably and share skills in living sustainably. A chance to take a house out of the hands of the market for good; to perpetually provide affordable housing so long as there are tenants to occupy it. To sack your landlord. To kick the patriarchy in the face. To grow and eat strange vegetables you've never seen before.

Golem Housing Co-operative: We're still here...
http://golemcoop.blogspot.com/2014/02/were-stlll-here.html
A fledgling housing co-operative based in Swansea, South Wales. Saturday, 22 February 2014. So it's been ages since I posted on this blog. Beyond ages. The good news is we're still here! Well, most of us. We've had the departure of one of our original members, Cassian, and so we currently have 6 members. We're planning to stay at six for a while before returning to seven once the roof is done. Those two things are deeply related, I promise. So what have we been doing? Some progress has been made on paint...
