Got a solar appliance working!

We got our first solar appliance working this morning!

We managed to get this thing working last summer when we had lots of sun, but winter weather was pretty hard on it.

It was a family effort; Helen found and fastened clips, Stephen and I tensioned wire …

Despite how busy it looks the cat did absolutely nothing (except try and climb on top of me).

Welcome to our homesteading adventure in south central BC, Canada! In 2009 we started building an earthship in Darfield. We moved in three and a half years later. Now that the biggest jobs are finished we are having fun homesteading in a modern world. Join us for discussions about finishing the earthship, food preservation, beekeeping, livestock, permaculture and how we interact with technology. It's all about simple living and stewardship of the land without deprivation. Together with our three teenagers we're learning as we go.
