Building Liberty's Composting Toilets

I am not preparing for doomsday, but I am preparing to be off grid, to save time and money.

Yea, same reasons here!

I am putting in a large system, big enough to heat and cool the house too. My wife has MS, so she is sensitive to heat and cold. So the need for the oversized system comes from that.

I got you. A big system will do you good, especially for self reliance. Sorry to hear about your wife @smithlabs. Please keep up the good work, you're a good man!

She is actually improving (driving the doctors nuts!) with herbals GOD provides! They told me she would be gone by 2007, so every day is a blessing! She has been my one and only since she was 13, and she is 60 now, so I am keeping her! Her doctor asked her last Monday when she was going to start walking again; she is getting stronger!

I just got her home from the Hospital today (not MS related, she got a high fever) and I expected a fight over the Herbals she MUST take. BUT, when I went in, her Neurologist had written an order that I was allowed to treat her herbally, IN THE HOSPITAL! I must remember to thank him, the Pharmacy came up to ask questions, and told me they were warned NOT to interfere!

He has been asking me a lot of questions in the Doctors offoce, I guess he listened...WOW! :)

But I am upgrading the house to a hyper insulation level, and adding some ultra high efficiency heat pumps called a Mini-split system. Each unit will heat and cool 700 square foot of building using only 900 watts of power. I will have about 1100 square foot on hyper insulated building, and about 2500 watts of panels; feeding 21,000 watts of batteries. Even if the batteries failed me, I could run the heat pumps from the panels directly.

How amazing. And they let you in to give her the herbal treatment! So great. I'm sure everyone is a little freaked out about her recovery. 2007 was a long time ago (sort of now).

Very happy for you that you get to keep your one love for so long, it's a belessing. Keep up what ever you're doing, it's working!!!

Thank you for all the info on tje heat pumps, I am interested, I will look into that now.

Have a very beautiful day 😁

I was shocked that the doctor did that. They were like a kicked bee hive over those orders!

I will see about posting the info on the mini-split on steemit. I am about to install one in a tiny house build we are finishing for my Sister. I'll get some pictures. ♡♡♡

Awesome, I'll be on the look out dor those photos. Just realized what the mini-splits are. Europe has them everywhere! Very efficient heat right?

Yes, they are very efficient as heaters and air conditioners. I am working on installing one (12,000 BTU) that will heat and cool 700 sq ft; using 900 Watts total.

LiIon batteries can be deep cycled 15,000 times with no reduction in capacity. They will work long past that, at a slightly reduced capacity.

Figure 10 watts, at 4 volts per cell. From that you can combine anything you need! :)
