Do you ever take a bit to just do some imagining about your dream house? We’ve been doing a little of that here lately. I’m not sure why more so than usual – maybe it has something to do with the babies on the way. And a few neat projects we’ve come across that just aren’t too possible in a neighborhood such as ours. (HOA and all.)
Both my hubby and I grew up in the country – wide open spaces and no “rules” on what you could do around your home or property. I think we’re just prepping ourselves to move back to those roots, and, while I wouldn’t consider our dream home or property to be “off the grid”, I do want to have things such as solar panels to help with energy costs!
So when Zacharry from Cast Iron Radiators 4 U contacted me with an infographic on how to live off the grid, I got a ton of great ideas from it! Here’s hoping you will, too! (For my United States readers, the monetary amounts are listed in European form, but you can still get the general idea!)
Do you think YOU could ever live off the grid?
Due to the amount of comments from all of my wonderful readers, it is not always possible for me to respond to each one. However, I absolutely do read them all, and if you’d like to address something specific, or have a question for me, please don’t hesitate to email me at Kristen@theroadtodomestication.com. I will respond to your email as soon as possible! Thank you for visiting the blog!
I passed this on to my son. In homeschooling, we’re working on sustainability this month. Looks like great information! He told me he was impressed with how much information there was. And he said it made sustainability seem more possible.
It sounds really interesting. Who wouldn’t want to live in a place where there’s peace and quiet and has everything you need, right? I’m glad this company is making it possible.
We have a small solar panel at home and we’re looking forward to adding more panels in the future. Electricity is quite expensive here in the Philippines, and using solar panels could help in keeping the bill to a minimum. 🙂
I’m not sure if I could ever live off the grid. I understand, however, the importance of reducing our carbon footprint to take better care of our planet for future generations.
