Maximizing Resources

Having tended the chickens of Cluckheim Keep while housesitting for Marko in the dead of New Hampshire winter was a chore, but while Castle Frostbite is way out past where the buses stop running, it's not off-grid. Ensuring that the chickens had access to a thawed water source was as simple as making sure the extension cord stayed plugged in.

Living off-grid on solar power means that burning electrons in a resistance grid for heat is too much of a luxury for all but the grandest setups, so Joel at TUATK has developed a clever way to ensure his flock has a steady supply of water using available resources around his crib.
