Here's (another) weird idea. I might be able to buy a very cheap and very old small house (Fachwerkhaus or half-timbered). It needs a lot of work. Plan is to make it ready for my elderly parents to live in rent-free. I want to turn it half-autark, meaning PV, heat pump and batteries. I want to do this as an open project, where I hope to tap in to the wisdom and knowledge of the #Fediverse. Would you be interested to follow and/or participate?

The idea is to create a community of practice that shares everything and connects with related groups like Project Kamp etc, so that more people get motivated to do similar projects. And maybe, on the way, create new open source/open hardware for "smart" houses that truly deserve the name 馃槉 Working title ideas: #Fedihouse #OpenHouse feel free to suggest better names!
