Wouldn't mind a wind generator, but there doesn't seem to be hardly any wind here (which is good, apart from wanting a wind generator
)! Will get solar water heating done sometime though... house faces north with nothing to block out the sun!

I hear that bro! I'm a bit tired of paying crippling power bills to stay warm. I need to hibernate like a big ol' bear till this shit passes. |

Wouldn't mind a wind generator, but there doesn't seem to be hardly any wind here (which is good, apart from wanting a wind generator )! Will get solar water heating done sometime though... house faces north with nothing to block out the sun!

There's not much wind here in Taumarunui either - unless it's the morning after too much Guinness and baked beans with fried onions on toast!! Taumarunui is in a valley, so it's rare there is anything blowing beyond a light wind. It's great - and way better than the freezing gales that seemed to blow in the UK Winter. Let me know how you get on with that Solar Water heating though... I took to coiling a hose onto of the wood shed roof during summer and filling it with water. I only had to leave it for an hour or two and there was plenty enough hot water to wash up with. |

Yeah, it's fuckin' great to live somewhere with fuck all wind... like in Dunedin there's always a cold wind blowing up the harbour and making the place freezing! I don't miss that at all! The basic system was about $6,000! The Government gives you a $1000 back, so about $5,000! Then there's fitting... price depends on whether you need/want new hot water cylinder, how far away the system is to be installed from the cylinder (piping etc) etc etc etc! So I suppose anywhere from around $6,000 - $10,000! It's good to have a large cylinder, cos then it keeps water hotter longer etc (it takes longer for a large amount of water to cool down than a small amount)! It's all computer controlled too... Don't you have hot water in your house Steve? The hose is basically the same idea... |

Haha - yeah - I have hot water Mike, it's just heating the water up via the hose outside saves a bit of power with the hot water tank AND I can do the washing up by the BBQ outside without having to go in and trawl all the dishes etc with - unless I want another cold beverage!! 
And Phleg.... how you coping now it's July??
