So very interesting to read.

One thing that I was wondering, how did you come by this house? Did it sell for cheaper because it isn't connected to electricity and such? Is it a much older house? Would love to know something about its history, and it could also be a good idea for another post.

I hear you about the hair dryer. When I use a vacuum cleaner to clean the house, I once connected it to the UPS instead of the wall socket, and no, it didn't go well :D

I hope you two will make winter work out. In case you keep using more power than you are generating, will you consider geothermal power, or adding more solar panels?

Keep us posted!

P.S. Your banner at the top is a bit too bright, so it's hard to read your description text of yourself :3
