I only have a freezer in the winter...outside! Lol
We gave up refrigerated things for the most part in the summer. We don't get to town often either. Its a treat for us to get a cooler of ice in the summer. It wasn't as hard as i thought giving up cold stuff.
I can or dehydrate most of our food.
The thermal lights work on the same principle as the ecofans that sit on your woodstove. I ordered my panels, and will blog as i assemble one for lighting. I am really excited about it! They have tutorials online.
There is such a learning curve to solar, and you bring up good points about batteries. I took advice and started small with the less expensive batteries to learn. Hoping to expand with better equipment in the next couple years!!
I really miss a washing machine!!
Looking forward to more blogs!!

I've had to do that before, it wasn't very reliable but it's something! It would be cool to get into dehydrating food and canning. I admire that you do :) The goal is to eventually be completely self reliant so it's definitely in the plans.
Ah that makes sense, I have not really looked into those ecofans. I'm excited to read the blog about that! Good advice you followed haha I should've done that also re: starting with the smaller setup. It's amazing how much of an appreciation I've developed for laundry machines now. Having animals makes everything get dirty much faster and I do not miss only going to town for laundrying once every 1-2 months. I've also washed things in the tub before and it does not get the animal smells and fur out at all.
