Wednesday, August 27, 2008. ATTACK of the Lady Bugs - AAAHH. Well it's a rainy, windy day up here. Seems like our summer was very short and fall is already setting in so we are attempting to kick our renovations into high gear and get everything taken care of before the first snow hits the ground. I've heard some people predict it could be as early as the second week of September ( please no! Or as late as December ( this is what I'm voting for, if my vote counts. No worries though; it's a good thing!

And with no signs of slowing down, I needed to start exploring cheaper and more environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. A big one that I've discovered is vinegar. Yes, vinegar, the stuff that helps make cucumbers into pickles also helps degrease your oven and remove static from your laundry. Not only is it cheap but it does just about anything! Another kitchen item that's really useful is Apple Cider Vinegar. When I wa...

Goin' Off the Grid: Before and After Pictures - the first of many
http://goinoffthegrid.blogspot.com/2009/01/before-and-after-pictures-first-of-many.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Before and After Pictures - the first of many. As you know we've been working diligently at getting the house "winterized" and then all of a sudden, winter was upon us. So now we've just been working, literally, through snow, ice, sleet, fog and whatever other intense weather an Idaho winter has to offer. The locals weren't kidding when they all smiled at me teasing, "you haven't experience a winter here yet have you? Of ice to get home from work everyday. PEACE Out for now,.

Goin' Off the Grid: Keep 'er Cool
http://goinoffthegrid.blogspot.com/2009/07/keep-er-cool.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. I left on business for about a month in mid-June; at the time we were still wearing sweaters in the evening, and I, with my extreme and new-found distaste for the cold, was still rocking wool socks while hiking! We’d managed to avoid lighting a fire since about mid-April since the house heats up so much during the day but I was worried that I would get back to early on-set of winter given how short our spring and complete lack of summer had been. We’ve also considered trying ...

Goin' Off the Grid: July 2010
http://goinoffthegrid.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 30, 2010. It sure has.and here I find myself, a year out (and a bit) since my last blog. Looks like its time to get back on board and start sharing my thoughts with the masses, 'cause I know y'all are just dying to hear 'em. Since last go-round, we completed our project up in Moscow, ID and are pleased to announce that we are still the 100% owners of 22 acres in the foothills of Moscow Mountain that boast off-the-grid homes. Pretty rad. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Goin' Off the Grid: Ascending 6 inches sheet of ice
http://goinoffthegrid.blogspot.com/2009/01/ascending-6-inche-sheet-of-ice.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Ascending 6 inches sheet of ice. How do you do it? Okay, at first I was literally clawing my way up the hill and just hoping that I could hurl my body into a pile of snow if things got a little too slick. Then, after some investigating, I invested in these:. They're called ice cleats. And to be honest, I feel like I could walk up the side of an ice burg. However, winter roads don't just present the issue of ice. Sometime we've got snow too so that's when I turn to these lil.

And before you know it, you're. Running right along side the rest of the herd. Before picking up and " peace'ing. Out, I'd like to point out the irony encapsulating a. That has set up so many safety nets for its citizens that failure should truly not be. Be back to tell you all about how. I get my power from the sun.
