Those guys are inspirational .I am onto my fourth system and I got from grid Free for the first time . Set it up and have lived happily ever after in the shadow of Mt Ruapehu - snow has had little impact , just wipe off gently . But the change in lifestyle and reduction of stress are a major shift and those kids have some very cool parents . I wish them well .
They are seriously inspiring - we felt it meeting them too! Wow, that is awesome, we are so happy to hear that your system is working well for you. We would love to see some photos of your solar set up if you'd be happy to share - especially in the snow?
Family time is so important for kid's mental health, especially when they are teenagers. We chose to live in a small house on one income when the kids were little. It didn't pay for me to work. The cost of childcare was more than I could earn. A girlfriend, who is a chartered accountant, worked out that with 2 kids in childcare, she would be earning $10 a week. That's without petrol, office clothes, make-up etc. They decided to have a 3rd child instead.
We totally agree! Having the time for 'present' connection is so important for children and adults. Which is really hard to achieve these days with the cost of living stresses. It looks like more and more people will be racing toward an off-grid lifestyle for a simpler life.
I believe it was around 50m2. It actually felt huge because of the in door, outdoor flow. Stepping out onto the deck with the gorgeous view - it was incredible.
A true Aotearoa family 🖤🤗
Yep typical diy Kiwi attitude 👍👍👍
Totally! You can do a lot more than ya might think if you're willing to try
Awesome place and lifestyle for those boys to grow up 👍

Im a nana, a bit worried about that decking 😮.. Neat lifestyle though. KIWI CAN DO
Don't worry, the deck was finished not longer after we filmed this video, nice and safe!
How much was the house build?
Josh estimated around $50k for the house build, which is so impressive!
What's the size of the house
I believe it was around 50m2.
