    Description

    I am into eco project and off-grid living and would like to get like minded people to join me in learning and building an off-grid cabin. I have good technical knowledge on solar power and electricity storage. I already have found the best way to build the small cabin. It is just 4 meter by 4 meters.
    We will stay at nearby cottage in a nice town with a lake. The town is one hour away from Helsinki. The cottage has authentic Finnish wood sauna that we can enjoy after some work. I have big speaker on the site to enjoy tunes while working.
    I try to have fun in everything I do, I hope you do too.
