The price for the spark to put power down the garden from the front of the house fuse box is far more than the cost of the wind/solar kit. I still have to pay for powering the lights. I'm I missing something here! My original idea for down lights would be external and very little power...

Why not?

Sarna down. Edge trims attached, front panels on, starting the hardwood door frames. Doors coming Monday. Will finish external envelope (watertight) this weekend. Just need the finish to panels. Hopefully start insulation on Monday. Prob Tuesday.

I have seen a combined system for 100w panel and 500w turbine. I like the idea albeit in a built up area. How many mobility batteries would suit this system. I know there's a load of questions but would it be a trial and error system or 2 be enough I could start at.

Thanks for taking the time over this.

I have a project ongoing posted on diynot projects " replace decrepit garage etc". I have some textured white panels I would like to have a single blue down light shining down from the soffit onto each panel at night. I have googled and keep coming up with cheap deck light set ups. They sound...

I used rubble. The remains of my chimney previously removed for my loft conversion shown on projects. Just a binder of sand compacted on top. You should post pics and a diary on projects. I did it as I said for my loft and its nice to have a record to look back on. Doing it with my garden...

Versapanals have excellent weather properties. There is little movement in them hence why there used as a carry base for render. They will be painted a textured white colour. Thought about maybe trying out a slurry bonding mix roller applied on a test piece to see the result before painting...

18mm osb & firings on. (Apart small section of board to front of picture.) Did some versapanal round the back, couple of panels in the front with the timber fascia and panels as well. More timber treatment to go on. Hope to bond some Sarna on this weekend. Its come off a roof at work but...

Onwards after spending a daft amount of money at BQ for strapping got a wall done and one versapanal on. End versapanal on. This panel is for versapanals This panel is weatherboard. Hit n miss style.
