Love to see it. My wife and I are in a similar situation, rennovating a 1950's weatherboard here in Melbourne. We've found 'Saveboard' to be a particularly useful product, worth a look.
Great lessons here, and they echo and reinforce my own reno experiences. I look around my 1915 home and I'm so proud of what we've done here: eliminated 1970s upgrades like faux-wood panelling (and returned the original plaster walls to their original beauty), opened up a few rooms on the main floor for better flow and light, and built a wonderfully functional kitchen and bathroom, mostly using our own hands. Your comments on the lack of availability and knowledge around low-carbon products was also sadly familiar. I work with my family's company to build new Passive House homes for the general market, and finding low-VOC products (other than paint) was brutally hard. Thanks for your work to raise awareness and encourage use of better products at scale.

Thanks for the recommendation Tim!
