I would agree. The only areas I have ever seen these, were in Southeast Asia, and only in warmer (tropical) climates.

Please tell me you are joking?
Who says I haven't? I have learned quite a bit about solar over the years, but only have implemented that knowledge and understanding over the...
Can you show me proof to substantiate this claim? Please, do not tell me to "Google it", because you are the one making the claim here. Most...
Yep. Everywhere I have lived (in SE Asia) has been tropical. I am no structural engineer. But, perhaps the rise and run of your roof, and how well...
Well, I will be the first to say that using an off-grid solar system to power your home, farm, BOL, etc., will be more costly than to buy power...
That's just not right. I love Rocky Road, or did, until your post. :D
The base is called an "edison base". Like typical bulbs we grew up with (I'm 49) in the US and elsewhere around the world. I would imagine online,...
At our farm, I ran two separate solar arrays. The primary array provides power needs inside the little farm house, including interior lighting....
In Third World locations, they fill water bottles and affix them into the roof of a house. Here is a video showing what is done. [MEDIA] Maybe...
According to my English mates, I have trouble with English. Or, in their words, as a yank, I have bastardized English. :) However, in my mind,...
Martin is a switched on guy. I have been following his videos for years. He certainly has very discerning tastes concerning electronics, and also...
That isn't an issue here. In Third World Countries, when you are on grid, you are often off-grid. :D
I just read thread. I ran across a reply by a member that I felt needs it own topic. Thanks to @marlas1too for the reply that awakened my inner...
My father swore by it. He grew some of the biggest, tastiest, juiciest (is that a word?) tomatoes I have ever eaten in my life. I would die to...
Even switching from low voltage CFL, to LEDs, will be considerable savings on power usage. Thanks for sharing your project with us. And, welcome...
@Ganado, would you say Perlite would be the best option for ebb and flow beds, in an aquaponics system?
A couple months back, I got prices on both. They aren't cheap. But, both are less costly than the clay! (Prices are in USD.) [IMG]
I am still purchasing the hardware to put our first aquaponics system together. I didn't realize how difficult it was to source some of the parts...
Yes, I understood completely. I was never a collector, but many of my close friends and associates were, back home. Used to get the County Sheriff...
Probably not. And, fair enough.
He's the grandmother we keep in the attic of the monkey tree. :D Seriously, ol' Sloth is all right in my book.
Sorry. I was referring more to us (America) being attacked by another country, on our own soil - probably won't ever happen, but it could, I...
First, it would be nice for this to stay on topic. Not really sure why people don't start a separate topic, rather than hijacking one in progress....
Burns much cleaner than gasoline. Tanks of LPG store longer, easier, and in my opinion safer than gasoline. You can store larger volumes of LPG,...
A bit off-topic. But, what kind of weather station are you running?
Melbo, not to pick you out of the crowd, here. But, sir, are you saying you have a huge watch, to make up for - <cough> inadequacies elsewhere? :D
Where I am from in the US, the power company covered everything up to the weather head on the home. We were responsible for everything from the...
I realize I am in this thread a bit late, @RickR. But, have you considered a Generac Guardian 8 KW generator? They are LPG, as I recall?...
Separate names with a comma.
