Ducted heating!

While the relentless rain today forced me indoors, it didn't stop me from getting in the roof and installing some ducted heating for the winter. I basically put together a simple heat transfer system which draws hot air from the wood heated lounge room and sends it to the 2 bedrooms via a small (35 watt) inline fan and a bit of salvaged 150mm ducting. Just needs to get cold enough now to light a fire and try it out!

April 2014

Well the rain is here! After a pretty dry start to the year and a struggling vegie garden, things are finally greening up here as we approach the autumn/ winter months. The school holidays came and went with many hot days spent in the pool and on the deck.
Finally installed the new (old) double doors we bought on EBay 3 years ago! 
Almost time to adjust the solar array angle again for Winter.
