Benj has done so much work on finding out how to make our house actually function well as an off-grid and self sustaining home... I'm not sure what would've happened if he wasn't so proactive about all this stuff... maybe Michael would've had to get some other expert in on the job...
Anyway lately he's been looking at Evacuated Tube Solar hot water systems...
Meanwhile I am fluffing about looking at colour samples... I sometimes feel like a bit of a ditz... but I guess it works that we are good at/interesting in different things.
We've also been trying to decide on external cladding... so on the weekend we did a few drive-bys
past houses with cladding we like... not sure what people who saw me would've thought as I jumped out of the car, raced up to the outside of their house and marked the width of their weatherboards on a piece of paper while Benji and Budu waited in the running car!! Anyway... at least now we know what we're after - Scyon Linea Weatherboards 180mm... they've got good bushfire ratings even if the company is far from admirable in their past ethical history...
This is an example:
I think it'll look good on our house with it's elongated design... lovely long lines...
