  • Temporary closure of our Forum.
    As you may appreciate, being self-sufficient and developing a self sufficient property (including building) requires a rather large and regular daily time commitment. In addition, we are now in the process of writing a number of books and booklets as a further support for those that may be interested in self-sufficiency or a more sustainable lifestyle. We wish to ensure that our experience and ever ongoing learning's are not lost but written in such a way as to be achievable by anyone.

    Due to these time constraints we will be unable to contribute to the forum for some time and therefore rather than leave the forum unattended or erratically managed, we feel that it better to temporarily close this part of the website. The information will still be available in the same manner but posting or shouts, for the time being, will not be possible.

    On an exciting note the site is now receiving some 2,000 hits per day and the first of our e-books is almost ready to be published with a number of others well on the way, so stay tuned for the new releases on the Sara River Dot Com site (sarariver.com).

    We are also including a new section for people who wish to sell their wares, books, e-books etc. but may not have the facility to do this. If you wish to sell something on the site please contact the Webmaster and have a chat. We apologise sincerely for any inconvenience and hope to catch up again with you in the near future.

    A small note from Graham: If anybody feels the need to or simply wants to discuss any of the Alternative Power projects that I have begun, please contact me at http://www.sarariver.com/index.php?Contact. My work commitments have grown so much that I can not provide as much support to the forum as I would have hoped, I apologise for this. But I will be writing a book on this subject , and hopefully soon. Good luck with your power......
