Re: [EVGRAY] The barn board going on

Body

RonI think we can get it off the grid.So far, there seem to be a lot of tangible options, let alone those strange ways out in the fringes.I like this setup, as it poses the most complete freedom of options for exploring various alternatives, comparing the merits of each, by flipping switches, or turning valves, as the case may be.
The goal is a zero with the heat on for the monthly bill.Oh, and chopping wood, charming as it may be, sucks, when it is 20 below, and the stove runs out.I have enough wood to burn for about four years, with an additional supply falling in the bush, in one season, to last another two years.Sure, I could heat with romantic wood, off my own property, for free.But, I'm a bit lazy, and have other things to do with my time, than, ironic as it seems, run around trying to keep warm trundling around with firewood.Cheers Warren

You sure have found Canada's banana belt, there in Victoria, a mere 4,000 miles from the frigid winds of Eastern Upper Canada.


Surprisingly not all that different, Toronto has much the same mean high of 21,6 C against Victoria's 21.8 C
But a little chillier in the winter with Toronto at minus 3 C and Victoria at plus 3.C
But I found the weather there more interesting! I remember sitting in the car on the water front in Kingston and watching the lightening strikes out over the water and all around us... I had never seen such a thing before!!!
Then another time in Montreal, in May, they had had to start the air conditioners in the stores already because it was so damn hot.
But would still like to find something to heat the house and get off that damn oil. Watching your barn heating with interest.
