I half built one with no building experience, I'm a welder so handy enough but never installed windows or any kitchen or bathroom stuff before, got it up to a semi liveable stage, tv, lights, kitchen, half a bathroom and lived in it for 2 years, even brought the baby home to it, Looking back, did the job, was pretty rough but got us where we needed to be

    Haha memory unlocked, it was the first transformers movie, it started off perfectly, clean picture, good audio, but by the end of it we had been treated to about 6 different versions, form camcorder out of the movie theatre with people moving around, different languages and sub titles, was an experience lol

    Yer I'm in Oz so no shortage of sun here lol

    Yer, that's the perfect getting in the way of the good problem, are old car batterys as good as 2v deep cycle ones? no, but there still fine to use if you have nothing else. Are you gonna run a whole house off em? No, but I ran my fridge, tv, lights and a small water pump most days up till about 11pm off I think about 12 old truck batterys,

    Umm around 2022ish, the solar panels were free from the tip, the batteries were also free form a mine site(collapsed cells could hold 12v but couldn't crank out high amps), solar controlers were from eBay 150 bucks or something and a 5000w inverter was 600ish from memory also probably about 200 bucks worth of battery cable and connectors,

    Make your own solar system? Il built my first one out of 7 or 8 second hand panels, old truck batterys and eBay inverters, I can't find any photos, but it was enough to a fridge, tv, charge phones and lights
