About The Off Grid Home
The Off Grid Home was started back in 2007 to answer a need for information geared for those of us living in North America. There were plenty of UK and European based websites but the products and advice was just not useable on this side of the pond.
After some amazing acceptance and readers we were offered a chance to become part of the UK based site Off-Grid.net which has been around since the 90s and after a few months of contemplation decided to give it a try. So from July 2008 till July of 2009 we wrote exclusively for them. Deciding that we just were not getting all the information out that we thought our readers needed we brought our site back up and decided it needed a complete overhaul.
As with any improvement it looked easier then it was and the advent of internet scammers deciding we would be a nice addition to their marks it has taken us a little longer to get us back into shape. Though our old articles are available for anyone needing them we have been spending most of our time just fixing errors, deleting scammer accounts, and making some new partnerships to enable us to better serve those wishing to go off grid .
