I'm going away for a couple months. I took all of my busbars off.
Lol.
That won't make the missus happy!
No power is not easy off grid.
The pond should provide water for a while, buckets.
Drinking water=boiled pond water.
Laundry by hand
List goes on.
I probably spoiled her too much
And yeah, while water is really good in stopping fire, it should only start if the Halotron fails.
I simply don't have the funds to rebuild.
While it's good the house doesn't burn down all the way, it would be enormous loss.
The Inverters, Mining equipment, batteries....
With halotron most of it will be salvaged, cleaned and used again.
With water....
It's all lost beyond repair.
If the fire starts in that room, and the Halotron isn't able to put it out, there is enough time to get the pump going.
It should fill that room in about 15 minutes, I doubt the walls will hold pressure of 3000L
Seriously, if halotron isn't stopping it, we need to rebuild a lot of the house.
Straw bale walls (really good environmental friendly and cheap insulation) don't like water.
Straw bales smolder, they don't really burn.
Halotron will do the trick, if not, it will have damage that takes us years to recover.
Wild fires are more realistic a problem.
It's burning season, and not all farmers care about their lands and control the fire.
(Rice and sugar cane fields are burned instead of plowed)
If the plot of your neighbors catch fire... Bad luck.
It's impossible to get them to pay for damages.
Most don't have the funds.
That's the reason we have the pond and pump, and have some free space around the house.
If the fire is too crazy bad, nothing will help.
Water in the electronics room..
Only if all is lost.
