Stumbled across some good video content on Youtube. Thought it might be worth sharing - can't see any reference to it here.

I'm due to retire in a couple of years ( if things work out). As such, can't put it off any longer - have started on The Plan.. What i need to do on the run up to retirement and, more importantly, what the hell I'm going to do with myself once I do retire. Have a reasonable idea on the run up to ret...

Re: Dummies Guide To Solar
You can also go up in stages. I always had a lot of rechargeable (AA, AAA, C) batteries ( and Black Friday is always a good time to stock up). My first solar project was a small (30W) panel, a cheap charge controller and a car battery. Also got a 12V to cigar lighter/ USB panel. The solar could char...

Found out the unpleasant way this morning that my wax cotton jacket needs reproofing. Guess I know what preps I'm doing this weekend...
