Informationen
Beschreibung
I bought a housse in the Pyrenees. It’s no connected to the usual network (water / electricity / phone).
The goal is to bring comfort without using petrol and nuclear energy.
Moreover I want to be suffisant in food (vegetable and chicken).
I need help to get enough time to work on my biodigestor, which will be my main power solution.
Best is to contact me. I speak English / French and Spanish
