Hey everyone! i havn’t been on here in a while, but i have changed me house goals as of last week. My new eco friendly house plans are now to build a Tiny house. Yes, not a small house A TINY HOUSE! One of Jay Shafer’s Tumbleweed Houses. The “Fencl” And it has wheels too! its no bigger than 100sq meters. No bigger than a regular sized bedroom or parking spot. 19×8 i believe. I plan on tackling this after i attend Jay Shafer’s Building workshop in Indianapolis next weekend. This house includes a living room/ dinning room / Office space (This space will be creatively accommodating 3 rooms in one. This house also includes a small kitchen with propane powered 2 burner stove, a sink, a full bathroom with a composting toilet and a full size shower. The bedroom is situated above in the loft section / attic and fits a full size queen bed enough for 2 people to sleep in. I plan on making sure this house is built eco friendly and using no VOC paints and equipped with the latest sloar power technology for powering my home. Also equipped with a 400 Watt wind turbine. I hope to be able to simplify my life and live simply and tread lightly upon the earth. I will keep you posted on my dream home!

Hey everyone, i have tackled this major goal with my first step of action. I researched energy and solar online. I calculated how much kilowatts i use daily. I gathered all my Appliances, and electronics and jotted down all their wattages and energy use. Then i guesstimated how much or how long i use them daily. Gave me an average of 20KWH, or 20,000 watts a day. This included my dryer, microwave, fridge, tv, computers, water heater, ac, fans, lights, stove, dishwasher, and clothes washer. i might be forgetting some, but u get the gist. I then skimmed through some solar sites, or solar panel system companies. I compared some prices. If i use on average 20kwh daily, then i will need a 20KW solar system to totally go 100% solar. Or “off th grid”. if i purchase 12 solar panels each of them 165watts. this will produce enough power to power the house of course i have not configured the inverters and and batteries into this yet. It will cost around 9,000.00 for 12 solar panels with 165w each. hopefully i will be able to install it myself to get rid of the labor costs. I did see some stick on solar panels which might be a better candidate, we will have to see, but it will be a while before i gather up 9 grand. wish me luck as i further deepen my solar search for power!
