Did the insulation in the house back when bought it in 2012, we gutted it, got rid of old storage heaters and installed full gas central heating, full plaster work throughout, insulation in the few stud walls we have, insulated roof and floors throughout. Re roofed and fresh felted main house last year, built new extension year before that and that was overkill..... 100mm in between roof trusses, 25mm under that, 3/4 ply under that then 12.5mm plasterboard and skim. 100mm in floor topped with 100mm slab, 100mm cavity with 60mm insulation. Installed wood burner year before that for main house.

Probably your only other viable option would be solar with battery backup / storage. But like you say, large upfront cost plus installation, and a maintenance cost too with batteries.

Cheers for the reply. Its interesting in general seeing what other people have and do differently from day to day (call me a nosey get if ya like [emoji23]) and i wrongly assumed you where here in the uk ??♂️ so the fact your in france makes it different again. I keep debating about straying away from standard electricity in one way or another and introducing an alternative but have never committed.

Would defo put a power source in, bit of solar or a small turbine maybe, for some tv and background noise at least. I’d have to get rid of the thatched roof too, i’m not a fan of em. But the rest of it..... spot on! -

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
Ratman replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Baffles me, different fungi on different species of trees. Not being in the know, and seeing fungi on trees that i have been walking past for years..... i automatically think the worst for their health, cos after all it wasnt there last year! But apparently some fungi is ok and non harmful to trees, so ?♂️ this is where i take tips and learn about these things ? some fungi species are stunning to look at though, even if they are potentially harmful! -
