Description: Today I’m joined by Ben, a sustainable living enthusiast from South Australia who lives completely off-grid with his wife and children. Ben's a member of the Aussie FIRE Discussion Facebook Group who posted about his self-sufficient home last year which really struck a chord with the community (it's still one of the most popular submissions to date). Ben has been kind enough to share his story of building an off-grid house and living sustainably in South Australia. Some of the topics in today’s episode include: ➡Ben’s story about how he and his wife designed and built a completely off-grid house. Their journey towards the dream of sustainable living. ➡The primary driver of going off-grid and building this house. ➡Utilising a solar energy system to completely power a family home. ➡How much does it really cost and how long will it last? ➡How to deal with heating and cooling when you’re not connected to the grid. ➡How to create a domestic system that generates zero wastewater. ➡The bottom line - what was the total cost of the project?
