Repeat after me-
YES - I CAN DO IT!
Living life with alternative energy truly is amazing but the big question you may be asking is "Can I do it?" Think of it this way – when you got your first job you knew very little and you went to work each day and learned something you didn’t know the day before – right? This is no different. You decide to do it, and then you get up every day and learn something you didn’t know the day before and day by day you will be educating yourself and gaining an understanding that will make the end result a success for you!
SO –
How do you figure it all out?
While it may seem a little daunting it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There's a process that will tell you what you need to know. The first step is to evaluate your life, what you use, what you really need and what you are willing to live without. So go look around your home at all of the things that you use right now. In some cases you may not need to give up that thing that you really like, you may just need to change that thing to better suit off grid living – case in point - a clothes dryer. Laundry is a necessity not a luxury. Everyone needs clothes and eventually they need washing and drying, the question for the off grid home is how best to accomplish this.
I will do my best to outline what needs to be considered for an off grid home that will not frustrate and disappoint you.
