Jeff and Carey welcome you to their off-grid, self built, Scandinavian log house in Eardisley. 

Modifications:
Scandinavian log house, on a 20 acre site, built by us and completely off grid. Recycled plastic roof tiles, sheep wool insulation, solar power +batteries (generator winter support), rainwater storage, composting toilets, self sufficient veg. garden. Wood fired Rayburn supplied by our own timber supply. 
 
Motivation to retrofit:
Ethical and financial.
 
Benefits:
Not subject to energy price hikes.
 
Who did the work?: 
We did!
 
Future plans:
Considered linking to the grid but too expensive and no independence.
