Living Remotely or Off Grid

[Captain Turdseye]

Had no WiFi for over 24 hours now. 
 

It’s been difficult but we’re just cracking on with things.

All the drawings and plans are on the laptop and I'm on the phone, but I took a couple of low quality screenshots from the 3D video I have on my phone. Although we have made some changes since this video was made for us.

 

 

You all finished now? 

[Carradona]

Nope, hopefully by Christmas. Screed floors getting poured on Monday, then we can get moving on the interiors.

[Carradona]

Whole house just looks like this at the moment.

One hell of a project that mate.

Has neko finished his remote house yet?

This is torture. BT/EE have given us free unlimited data but this has clashed with them doing maintenance in the area. 
 

It’s shite. Can’t even load up Pornhub. Had to have a wank yesterday using my imagination. It’s like the fucking Stone Age. 
 

I’ve started a new Pokémon game on the Switch and put 20+ hours in already. Got six badges. Only two more needed until I can challenge the Elite Four and become the greatest trainer of all time.

Nein. Danke.

 

Haven't been posting on here much of late. Great progress Carradona.....Congrats !

 

We've had trouble finding a contractor/builder, and since we needed somewhere to move to before we could sell our place here in Vancouver, we decided to buy a house in Sudbury, Ontario, two hours from the property. Now we're broke.

 

The current plan is to cash in and retire there next summer and start building soon after, starting with a garage and services. In the meantime we can drive out to the lake and camp/hike/swim and just enjoy it. We're going there at the end of the month for a few days...can't wait.

It’s just the FBI installing hugging devices into the homes of all Trumpians.

Is that what will become underfloor heating?

It is, yes.

[Carradona]

The underfloor heating pipes are no longer visible!

Nice engineered oak would look lovely on top of that

It's a sand/cement based screed.

Ah, a sub floor then.

 

My parents built a home in the desert and had poured concrete which was stained and sealed. Was nice.

[Carradona]

We have power!

Nice one Carradona 

 

Not off-grid solar though, so doesn't count.

[Carradona]

The end is in sight. Tiling is finished, the rest of the house is floored. Painter is currently on site and we're testing multiple colour options.

 

Anyone able to lend me a tenner?

[TheHowieLama]

The views look like they will be stunning.

[Anubis]

Looks fantastic.

They are. Although the Internet provider have come and plonked a huge pole right in our line of sight out our main 2 metre² feature window in our open plan space which isn't ideal!
