Have alook at this, I met Rob at the Ecoshow a few weekends ago and went over to his house today for a yarn. Nice guy! Has done lots of stuff on the energy generation side and with water storage but does not grow much of his own food.

Hi Nev,

I've just had a quick look at Robs site. What a lot of useful information. Too much for me to digest all in one go, but he's certainly done a good job on making solar energy work for him.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow Nev, That was perfect timing...

The front extension is nearly complete, and the kitchen extension is already happening in my head.. :mrgreen: That info on the fridge and lighting was priceless! I have a tendency to 'fit' things and at present my fridge is very much wedged neatly on both sides and all circulation is zilch.

So have corrected for that in the renovation plans.

I also have those really dumb spotlight things mounted in the roof! They are hard to clean, as fragile as buggery to adjust, and just plain annoying as they both point the same way and leave huge gaps behind them. Would love to replace them, but 'leckies' are like hens teeth out here. No idea how or when it might happen, but heaven help the poor leckie that next bumps into me, cos I am making a list! :mrgreen:

Excellent site Nev. Thanks for passing it on.

That's a nice site, Nev. I shall take some time to wander through it. I do love seeing what people can do for themselves like this.
