hi John, Rob and Bricos,

the 'house' if planned, built etc ... would be in an easily serviceable location, probably in canada. The issue here - for me, for now, is not to create the stand-alone self supporting system, power generating water waste recycling etc (as with Makrolab, for example) although it is about making as small a footprint as possible. Perhaps another way to look at it is as a 'data autonomous' house.

cheers,
stephen

Most places in the techno-social periphery have supplies that are good (clean enough) for reliably running 'fridges, lights, and other DC objects -- but for use with step-down transformers (any small electronic device operates this way), the instability wreaks havoc (I'm sure some of you have experienced this effect -- that lovely whizzzzzz-pop! sound that an air-gap/induction transformer (converter) makes when it gets a voltage spike. The smell is unmistakable!
