Sustainable House Day

Post: # 123355Post Wombat »

Hey Gang!

It's that time again and Mrs Wombat and I have been flat out preparing! If you have a look at the St Clair house on the page below, there are some photos of Casa-del-Wombat. :mrgreen:

That`s truly inspirational Nev! Genuinely `ish`!
It shows clearly that you don`t need to have ten acres in the hills to live a sustainable lifestyle.
Wish I could come and visit. :lol:
We are stardust, we are golden, and we`ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Well done nev,
we could all learn alot from you, with your solar panels generating good electricity and all that lovely bright weather down under do you get an excess of energy, a friend of mine down south does pretty well with his and he actually sells some of his excess energy back to the national grid.
all the best

Thanks guys! :mrgreen:

We wish you could too, Merry!

My system is stand-alone Russ. I store the energy generated in batteries, I don't have a grid interactive inverter.

The soplar oven is hand made by me Jim, the details are on the main part of the site! :thumbleft:

How lovely to see the things we talked about while you were here! :mrgreen:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

After all that work we got 13 people :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Which is still 13 better than none, but it was a lot of work for all that!

Anyway, next year will be better!
