Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The questions you ask are quit traditional to southerners.
If you really want to know, I'd tell you as much as I know, but this forum is a little special, isn't it?

Answering shortly, In Russia while building we use "Frost Circle (Contour)" meaning -- the parts must be built before t dropped below zero.
Anyhow, I'm available by email.

I'm only vaguely curious about the -20 and was mentioning it to highlight a potential problem. I'm not sure how you'd go about solving it though, different grease for the bearings maybe.

Anyway I think the straw bale house will provide plenty of insulation - thats one of the main considerations for building one after all.

I don't know enough to comment on the how-to-load the windmill appropriately question, so I'll stay out of it.

OK, if I wanted to connect my mill, when finished, I was planning on one of those cheap grid tie inverters on eBay, would I be better off using a battery as a buffer, or would straight into the inverter be OK?

The inverter would be a 14-28v (12volt) 300W Power-jack thingy.

Thanks.
Paul
