Welcome to a series of videos about our attempt to become more future proof. I doubt we'll ever reach the off grid goal of many but we are trying to reduce our long term impact on the planet and also our monthly outgoings.
In this episode I continue to unearth metal from under soil, fill up the skip and tidy the workshop.
