i can't even tell you how much i looooved her bathroom. the clawfoot bathtub and sink were both salvaged from old local buildings. the bathtub has been refinished. she's also got a shower stall, but if i lived there, i think i'd LIVE in that bathtub.
just a simple and beautiful room.
you can read an article on marilyn pedretti's strawbale home from her local paper here.

Here's another angle on the 1,000 gallon water tank from the Paris Farmers Union, in front of my ATV.
The beach houses of San Marco island are off the grid; this one has a significant investment in solar PV power. Bravo, I say!

The above image is depicts one of the two OPS 300kW Hybrid Power Conditioning Unit in use at the Caribbean system, (HPC).
The Hybrid Power Conditioner (HPC) is designed as a complete system solution for remote area power applications. This unique product can automatically configure as a static AC source or it can act independently as a phase by phase battery charger. It will optimise the start and stop of up to two diesel generators if the supply can not be maintained by the renewable contribution.
Brown wire is soldered to the power button. The red wire is soldered to the power pin on the VGA output and let's the circuit know when the computer is turned on.
Earlier this year we bought a 1960s Red Dale truck camper. The inside had been gutted and then the previous owner made it into a sleeping area for camping. We stripped out everything that was in there down to the frame and exterior metal. Then we got to work refurbishing this camper. Now it's outfitted with three 100 watt solar panels and all the trimmings for off-grid travels. We'll be heading off on our maiden voyage soon.
Summer view of the passive solar house kit, off grid, zero energy, no systems installed yet- that comes next.
During the winter power has been a bit of a struggle. Some days I don't have the luxury of using my electric grinder and am forced to use a hand one, which isn't bad, just takes longer.
Living Off the Grid - www.thriveoffthegrid.com/ - See how others are living offgrid using the advantages of wind and solar energy plus more for off grid power and ...
Living off the grid you must take advantage of renewable energy. This renewable resource originates from several sources, consisting of sun, wind and water, to start with ...
Researchers are constantly on the lookout for more ways of making green energy. Here are the 2 types you must understand now.
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Solar Power
i. The energy that originates from simply one hour of sun suffices to supply energy for a year for the whole world
ii. A battery can be used to store off grid solar power for evenings and cloudy days
iii. Solar panels on a roof work when the sun's rays strike the cells in the panel and electrons are released, producing energy
iv. Using solar power will typically provide a saving of $100+ each month on utility costs for the property owners of off grid homes .
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Wind Energy
i. When wind goes through the blades of a turbine that is connected to a generator, the energy produced by the spin is converted into electrical energy
ii. A single large wind turbine can provide electricity for around 500 off grid homes
iii. Last year, 42 % of the houses that were geared up with a source of off grid power used wind
iv. Unlike most other sources of energy, wind utilizes hardly any water; not only is wind energy carbon neutral, it helps water conservation also
v. There is around 10 times the amount of wind available in the U.S. than is needed to supply power for the whole country
vi. Wind energy is presently the fastest-growing source of renewable energy: - Around two wind farms are set up weekly in the U.S.
For living off the grid, the facts indicate that the advantages of solar power combined with the advantages of wind energy now exceed any advantages that fossil fuels may have had. However it is probably down to individuals to begin the shift to a larger scale adoption, so that we may all enjoy living off the grid.

Moving to this house has been a bit of a challenge in getting used to off-grid living. This includes cooking on a wood burning stove. I don't have the same amount of instant control as I do on an electric wood stove, but I love the warmth, the glow, and the scent.
I found these fragments several years apart, maybe six, and in different countries, England and Spain, yet they seem to be nodes in the same network.

The CD Turbine is made from re-cycled CD's, CD cakebox, a nozzle, neodymium magnets, and glue. Lots of glue.
The six drive magnets can be seen through the top.

Pearl and Tim Unger started building their home and opted to keep it small (500 sq. feet) and easy to heat with a gravity fed water system and composting toilets. Tim does odd jobs and Pearl teaches music and the couple is very happy living in the Craik Eco-Village. Photo David Dodge, Green Energy Futures www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/craik-eco-village
No two homes are the same in the Craik Eco-Village. There are tiny homes, homes made of straw bales, homes made out of insulated concrete forms – each home is its own unique recipe for building eco-home. Photo David Dodge, Green Energy Futures www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/craik-eco-village
