My "off-grid" playground experiment!
I have converted part of my playground into a small, 6x4x6 tiny "home." Here's how I did it: Over the past 5 months, I've modified a section of a playground in my backyard to be an insulated, passively (and electronically, if needed) heated/cooled, weather-proof area for under $80 (wood, materials, ...

Re: A few suggestions for the future
Alright, no problem! Can't wait to see these plans come into place! I forgot about your DC generator, but that seems like a much better idea anyway. Good luck!
