RE: a year start reflection on the off-grid project that was weeks away from happening in 2010!
holy hell i remember that period of time. you really don't think of the people, land and properties when it's not 'local' or know the lay of the land i guess. amazing you bought some land, time to build a big moat around the property it seems! :) i can totally imagine being scarred by that experience for sure. such a shame that it caused so much devastation, i was in portugal for the first time a few months back, i can't WAIT to get back there.
Portugal's a great place, just visit there in late spring/early summer or in Autumn after the rains have come, and check the national fire forecast! :-)
You'd be welcome to stay in my caravan, but it's not such a private space since the fire, and gets a bit drafty...
well i'm hoping to have a van so be super interested to talk to you about the land purchase and other portugal related things. omg look at that. time to get that covered in solar panels and turn it into a solar carport now. onwards and upwards!
Ohh, I rather fancy a van. Feel free to chat away about Portugal stuff :-)
yeah kinda interested in the process, hurdles you hit, how you sourced the land, rough costs, things you took into account, you know some tips from someone who has been through it i guess. anything you had to do uk side etc.
