I’m Hattie, the Architect behind Home Yolk. I work in affordable housing delivery in the South-West of England, where I live with my two daughters. I’m currently living in a victorian terrace that I am very slowly renovating. The dream is to sell up and self-build in the not too distant future. I have started Home Yolk as a way to share some of the knowledge and information I gather along the way. https://www.homeyolk.com/find-some-friends daily 0.75 2023-01-22
