I'm hoping to start small with a solar powered fan for the workshop. Apparently in a few years the UK will be just like the South of France so perhaps even here solar heating could be worth while.

The bonus is it will likely be able to be incorporated into the window panes of your home.

Hooking a drip hose to this valve is a great way to give your garden or flower bed a constant source of moisture.

FW - I hope you get your rain barrels soon... can you buy one at a time, or are they selling the whole lot together? I wish we could do something like that, but we've had 3 inches of precipitation so far this year (seriously). In Florida they'll probably be a bit more of a benefit :) Thanks Kristen!

Here in Florida, I could eventually be off the grid if I could afford them. By the time I can, they will be much cheaper, though. Right now, I'm saving for rain barrels. Found some in an adjoining town for $50 each. I'd need about 10. I crave solar panels! Here in Florida, I could eventually be off the grid if I could afford them.
