Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

I'm right there with you on the air conditioner comment. I do have an air conditioner out in the playground from the middle of March to the middle of October. The humidity inside definitely needs to drop, and I do believe that the passive heater I recently installed to bring in fresh hot air is real...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

In response to your last question, it all comes down to what I decide to do in the next year regarding further education vs jobs. I'm honestly against college because I view my time on earth as a privilege and I'm not guaranteed one day on this planet. I do know, however, that for the rest of my lif...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Thanks. I hope to make myself a few more things before I finish with this thing. Once I move out, most of the stuff in there will come with me because I'm sure not going to be rich and then I hope to build my own house. I hope one day I can be like you in many cases such as waking up inside somethin...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Well, it's been over a month since my last post. I'm sure by the time you read this, the snowstorm you're currently getting as I type this went by well and I wish you the best. I have filled the ceiling cavities with R10 Foamular insulation and the place is completely waterproof besides one area I f...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Today, I made said window and the video regarding that is uploading as I type this. It was pretty easy to make and it does look a lot nicer than my previous window. I'll keep that plexiglas for if there's a need for it but likely there won't be. The only difference between what I said I would make a...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Today, we had a cold front come through with some rain and I once again have the place waterproof! I have spent a lot of time doing this. I also got the passive heater installed and it is fully functional. Its hose is rain through a hole I drilled right in the wall instead of through a window becaus...

Re: Why haven't I thought of this before? A bed house thing!

Good to hear. I only asked because I don't think you posted any info about it in a few months so I didn't know if you changed its interior or whatever since then.

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Sorry for the late response. I just e-mailed you at 8:53PM this evening regarding that. On Halloween, I installed it right after posting the last post I made on here because I really wanted to see how well it worked at keeping the place warm overnight. I built the entire wall in my garage and insula...

Re: My "off-grid" playground experiment!

Today marks the one year anniversary of the playground experiment. This time last year, I had put my brand new solar panel/battery/charge controller setup on the upper part of my playground and just let the solar panel sit at a slight angle on the wall (it has wide gaps that sunlight could come thro...

Re: Why haven't I thought of this before? A bed house thing!

Very true. I wish you the best of luck with you on your tiny cottage construction! By the way, is your Christian Camper still being used solely for storage still? Are all the leaks in it fixed up? Just curious.
