Jun 9 2012: Deborah, the solar cost in a home is expensive because of electricians and the inverter. I have a solar panel which i connect to an AGM battery. I charge my laptop and engel fridge off battery (12volt). I am about top get a new house and i will be putting in LED lights which i will also run off my AGM battery. I can also take my battery and solar panel and fridge when i go camping which is about 1/2 the year, and power my house OFF. If you stick to solar panel and battery you do NOT need electirician nor a $1,000 inverter. Agree about peace and quiet to from work. When i lived in Sydney years ago i always rented within a 30 minute walk to work, i loved it especially as i was on IT shift work. Probably too expensive to do that nowadays without sharing, but thats another story.
Jun 9 2012: Adam, you are spot on. At Lane Cover River National Park Sydney Australia (top camping spot) in the cabins they provide paper bags for you to put food scraps, you then ace these PAPER bags in a special bin and they are fed to the worms. YES they love the paper and the craps inside.
Jun 9 2012: I am buying a house in snowy mtns in Australia. I will be putting my old car (when rego runs out) in backyard. This will be my day lounge, so i do not have to heat house. Old cars in backyards get warm very quickly, i will still be able to use its two batteries to charge laptop,(solar panel on roof of car) and i will make a cuppa using a billy which you simply put a few leaves around and light.
From the car i will have a view over the valley below, much better than sitting by a gas heater and watching garbage on tv.
