Gaulas

= Recovery ... but it can also be working :-)

Gaulas means our (Simon and mine) mountain pasture, which is situated at 1200 masl. This remote place just has a page dedicated to his. Gaulas also means throat, and that comes from the shape of the lawn. Here I found a place I do not want to miss again.

In spring 2001, we have taken it and has since invested many hours.

The Übermahme - Spring 2001

First maintenance work - Summer 2001

Went immediately after purchasing it off with a variety of maintenance work. First, we needed water, then came the seat, then the backing wall by the entrance, then the fireplace.

Insulation and paneling - Summer 2004

For this holiday in the summer of 2004 I had planned to isolate the living space fresh and paneling. The summer holidays were far from it and not continued into the next vacation. The whole work took nine months, but eventually. During this time we were living in dust and chaos and permanent jobs - of course with the prospect of how gratifying it will be later. The conclusion I made in the spring holidays 2005th It has certainly paid off.

Solar Energy - Summer 2005

Electricity in four days. In no time we have installed 230 V in the holiday cottage. We chose two modules of 80 watts and 24 volts with two batteries of 125 Ah. These are converted to 24V by a 300 watt inverter at 230 volts. And you have light, can listen to music, recharge mobile phone and plug the laptop in one :) Since I have lost the power tubes flush during the paneling, it was no big deal anymore to collect all the cables. For the join, because I was still not an expert in electricity, but you can learn everything, as it turned out. Thank you Martin for the detailed explanations.
