Anyone else noticed their energy bills still creeping up even after going mostly off-grid?
@Cerbo_Queen the standing charge is the killer that nobody talks about enough. Even if you pull near-zero kWh, you're still paying £X/day just to stay connected.

Insulating a stone outbuilding - worth the hassle or just go for a log cabin kit?
@Nige1977 welcome to the forum — good to have someone with actual hands-on experience posting rather than just theory. @BoxerCamper raises the cold bridging point which is the real killer.

Anyone else keep a "grab and go" battery box for when the grid goes down?
