EP 62 | The Solar Tree, Off Grid Energy Solutions, Digging The Trench

Would a sled to haul supplies make it easier, less pressure on you shoulder. You are capable of building a sled.

Preying Manus and leaves a great touch. The very best to both of you. You work so well together,

And then ther is the end 😢😢😢, I'll see you next week.😊😊😊

Mooi idee!! Hier in Nederland heb je zonnepanelenboom. If you google this word you can see how they look.!! they cost 9000 euro!!!!

buona serata, il tavolino si potrebbe farlo anche incernierato al pannello contro il muro di modo che si possa abbassare quando non si usa, cosi anche x il letto incernierato sopra la struttura in legno contro il muro,appoggia sulla struttura e serve solo una gamba e durante il giorno si potrebbe sollevarlo con una carrucola contro la parete, il tutto x salvaspazio. era un idea,niente di che..un saluto.

Complimenti per il vostro lavoro. Tanti auguri e un grandissimo abraccio sempre da athene. 🥰🥰

Ciao ragazzi
Sono molto curioso di vedere il tuo Albero Solare.
Grandissimi

Excelente el video. Un abrazo. Siempre pendiente !!! ❤❤

The struggle seems real, but you are making progress little by little 💪

It is almost inevitable that in situations like yours that there will need to be a solar array sized to supply what you reasonably need. Finding a way to mount this array that is more sympathetic to the environment around you is difficult, and the easiest thing to do is mount them in a conventional array format which is what most people end up doing. It makes me happy to see that you have considered other options and I hope that your solution works well for you.
A simple thing, but it was interesting to see your cellar, and it is indeed a very convenient equipment room !
Best wishes to you both..

I'm afraid the Solartree idea will be a disaster in terms of statics alone (wind loads, snow loads).

Bell episodio, complimenti per l'idea dell'albero solare, complimenti anche a tua moglie che ha liberato tutta quella splendida cantina! Avanti cosi

Alex! come stae?, spero buone, anche a Monica. gr8 video, I'm trying to understand what you are doin'. Fascinating watchin' you work. I think that room under the kitchen will make a gr8 utility room (power room? water electrical) Yes I agree more solar panels! Gr8 view of the surrounding mountains, valleys, gr8 colours (autumn flora) pretty bare now. Winter is coming. Ciao, keep it up, gr8 journey (we're coming along for the ride, thank you)

So, a typical evening up in the mountain house. The Master Builder designs solar trees and the Chef reads a psychological thriller (good writer by the way), looks cozy :-)!

Eccoci qui! Appuntamento inderogabile ormai. Io ho chiuso oggi e fino ad aprile non se ne riparla. Magone a iosa 🥹🥹🥹🥹 . L’età non consente di sbagliare. Anche i miei 4 mici. Non hanno gradito il forzato rientro, preferivano starsene lassù. Veramente appaganti questi ultimi 15 giorni. Hanno ampiamente ripagato una stagione così così e un ottobre pessimo. Vabbè è andata. Prevista neve per mercoledì. Sarà anche bella ma i. Vita mia ne ho già vista e spalata tanta e sta bene dove sta😀😀😀. Vedo che sei monastico, neanche un goto de quel bon. Saluti a tutti e due. Bellissimo il soffitto a volta della cantina. Richiede adeguato liquido😀😀😀

The fruit cellar/storm shelter/bunker is so cool! All kinds of possibilities there.

Molto bella e colorata e montagna dove siete voi. Qua sotto abbiamo ancora alberi verde.
Stai facendo buon lavoro per sistema solare, avrete bisogno presto. Buon proseguimento.
Vediamo se nevica davvero settimana prossima, sotto non penso, ma da voi potrebbe.

Amazing find/ opening up the cellar. The way it is built and looks so cool.

Dear lovely couple,
I enjoy so much to watch your harmony and colaberation. I also love to see how you make nice things out of just crooked wood, boards, metal and some nails and screws. You remind me so much of my late father who could just "create anything out of nothing". 🎉💫👌
I bet what your lovely wife cooks is tasting really awesome. ❤ It looks like it.
Nature is preparing for the Winter. Suddenly your house is totally visible amongst all those naked trees... Still sunny, but I guess snow is slowly on its way..... 🌨️❄️😊
Have a great week❣️

Thank for another beautiful episode. Small steps, big steps, you are making the homestead more comfortable and productive. That cellar and its contents are truly interesting. Stay safe and well.

I'm always awestruck when I look at the stonework that was done long ago. The cellar is just beautiful with the rounded ceiling. I love your idea of the solar tree, in keeping with the surrounding nature, and all the wildness. Thank You, Alex and Monika for sharing your story.❤

What a wonderful place you both live in. Your house is becoming so comfortable as you add more facilities. The drone footage is fabulous. You must be a great photographer as I watched the footage of the "Praying Mantis". Its the first time I have seen the cellar and it will open up so many future ideas for its use. Constant cool temperature means that you could store many perishables there for quite a while. The "Solar Tree" is a great idea. Look after yourselves and keep safe. Cheers from Australia.

Ciao, idea stupenda! Io ho un po' di timore per la questione vento da me, che li strappi, lì come va a proposito? Forse conviene ancorarli bene anche ai lati (oppure fare in modo che seguano il vento evitando l'effetto vela). Il legno che hai usato sembra faggio, forse utile anche un po' di rivestimento per l'umidità nel terreno? Tipo una guaina o chissà. E come li conosco quei sacchi di "maledetta" malta... ehehe ciao e buon lavoro, idea davvero gradevole!

Hi Monica and Alex,

What a crazy and wonderful idea, the solar tree, I think it is a brilliant idea and will look great. Do you intend to install the bifacial solar panels for the winter? I quess the reflection only works with snow?
I've been wondering a long time already what the space under your current living area would look like, but what a beautiful vaulted ceiling in your cellar!😍. I think it is spacious enough for a technical area! Keep healthy and save!

Ciao, in cantina dalla parte della montagna dove ti fa il trasudo fai un piccolo canale di scolo che finisce fuori la porta d'ingresso, dovresti risolvere. Forza con l'albero solare bella idea!!!

bonjour, très bien votre " livre de bord" croquis dessins..votre table est superbe! votre intérieur devient de plus en plus cosy..les vues sont superbes, merci..Chez mes parents il y avait 2 caves voûtées comme celle-ci, plus hautes., on pouvait se tenir debout, ou ils gardaient de la nourriture...bon courage et bonne continuation

I look so forward to your videos. I enjoy everything and the lovely food your wife makes looks delicious. I am being selfish but wished they were longer but I will take anything. I mean for it to be a nice compliment 😊 Have a safe and blessed week until than hope to see you both soon. 🇺🇸

When I watch the drone shots and see the roads so high on the mountain side, I wonder who built them and how it was done and who maintains them. You and Monica have done so much to make your cabin comfortable and cozy! Cheers ..see you next week

Bei progressi ragazzi! L' autunno è una stagione bellissima specialmente in baita, l'albero solare è proprio una bella idea da tenere in considerazione. 😊

Alex, that room would be perfect for cold storage and a root cellar for storing vegetables and such; the ceiling is a bit too low for an electrical room, also is it water proof during torrential rains!

hello cute birds in your nest, just passing by

Great working weather, that solar Tree is gonna be awesome. 👍👍Be blessed🙏🙏🙏

looking good , that solar tree is going to be really unique , well done , cheers from kanada !

The mountain is steeper than it looks on video. The drawings showed that.

Thank you for showing the cellar. The roof looks precarious but it has probably been there for many years. What will you do?

Herkes aynı hatayı yapıyor. Ağaç direğin dibine beton atılmaz. Çukur açılıp direk dikilir ve ağaç direk çukurun içinde taşlarla sıkıştırılır. Burada amaç ağaç direğin çürümesini engellemek. beton kullanıldığında ağacın ömrü kısalır.

Is it this bbq place which Homer Simpson built?

Why don't you two show some love or talk to each when you eat ?........ I love to watch your life style. Beautiful country !! .........
