I don't know about you, but all this talk of 'Off The Grid' stuff is not only new to us, but is also of great interest.
To live in a way that costs you the least amount of money as possible, but you can still have the things you need to live a fairly comfortable life, sounds really appealing to us.
Yes, I know it costs a bit of money to set up at first, but once you have it all done, WOW!
We want our money we earn to go to more enjoyable things than just for our home, food, power, water, that kind of things.
Any way because we don't watch regular tv, we missed this.
I only found out it had been on tv, because I shared the name of this doco with someone and they told me it had been on tv a while ago.
Never mind, better late than never :)
It was nice to see the guy of Grand Design doing something that was probably more doable for most people than most of the extravagant homes he has had on his show.
Hubby and I loved the purity of it all.
The doco is about Kevin McCloud creating his own little retreat he called The Shed.
The rules he set for himself was that it had to be all made from resources on his property or recycled stuff that someone else was throwing away.
We got to see him make a free standing fire place from an old thick metal safe.
Make gas to cook his food, from people poo. Yes you read that right :)
He makes a spa pool out of the cover from a aeroplane jet motor cover (well I think that is what it is called).
He made a lying back chair from a tractor seat and gears.
Really amazing all the things he creates.
If you are interested in 'Off The Grid' type stuff, then I recommend this one.
