Title: Mountain Bed and Breakfast---Off the Grid
Post by: Shady80 on December 18, 2010, 05:48:59 PM

My girlfriend and I are building a Bed and Breakfast on a mountain in Tx. We are fully off the grid. I made solar panels, and we have a water catchment system. It was built with recycled materials that we got from craigslist, along with natural stone from our property. I see alot of interesting ideas on here about energy. We plan on adding a wind generator in the future. Does anyone have experience with off the grid living???? any tips???? My girlfriend keeps a blog about our progress. check it out for some pictures of our adventures. thanks......:)  http://theshady80.blogspot.com/ (http://theshady80.blogspot.com/)

I've been living off grid for 10 years, I may be able to help with specific questions.
