Less-grid: This year's entry to the Wolverhampton's Warmest Landing Competition
http://lessgrid.blogspot.com/2013/10/finally-managed-to-rig-up-solamiser-to.html
Half-arsed adventures in moving towards an off-grid(ish) way of life. Tuesday, 8 October 2013. This year's entry to the Wolverhampton's Warmest Landing Competition. Solamiser fitted discretely above the consumer unit in the garage. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The term 'off-grid' generally refers to living in a self-sufficient manner, without reliance on public utilities. Sounds a bit too much like hard work if you ask us. Enter 'less-grid' - our attempts at lessening our reliance on public utilit...

Half-arsed adventures in moving towards an off-grid(ish) way of life. 7 panels at the rear of the house (nearly west facing). 6 panels on the hip (nearly south facing).

Less-grid: December 2013
http://lessgrid.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Half-arsed adventures in moving towards an off-grid(ish) way of life. Wednesday, 18 December 2013. Solar Fence - phase 1. You know that moment, when you begin to stir from your slumber and, for a second or two, dreamworld and reality become entwined? I blame that. Anyway, for whatever reason, I'd decided that dangling some solar pv off the (south-facing) fence between us and next door would be a great idea. The fence panels needed replacing anyway. There was some method behind the madness:. I soon discou...

Less-grid: The rain in Spain falls mainly down the drain...
http://lessgrid.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-rain-in-spain-falls-mainly-down.html
Half-arsed adventures in moving towards an off-grid(ish) way of life. Friday, 4 October 2013. The rain in Spain falls mainly down the drain. And it did here too, until we finally got round to sorting out a couple of water butts. One of those jobs that we've meant to do for a while. The recent inclement weather has managed to divert a bit off the flat bay roof and into one of our shiny new green plastic tanks, while the other languishes in the garage until we decide where to put it. Incidentally, most loc...

Condensation & Mould - cartwrightservices
http://www.cartwrightservices.co.uk/condensation-mould
Cooking, cleaning, drying clothes, showering, bathing and breathing all put moisture into the air in our homes. It is estimated that the average person creates four pints of moisture per day through carrying out their usual activities. You can't see this moisture when it is absorbed into the air, until such time that it comes in contact with a cold surface and condensation forms. Cold surfaces, such as mirrors, windows etc. Walls of unheated rooms. Cold corners in rooms, where two outside walls meet.
