Heat sink



I've been considering the issue of dense versus lightweight construction (a contenious issue) and am coming down on the side of dense heavy materials to regulate the internal temperature of the house. One idea is to re-use concrete railway sleepers for the internal house walls.
Could make an interesting wall.
Just an idea so far...
