    Official approval (local Goernment) for solar installation?

    If you visit the City of Cape Town zoning map you will see they have detailed aerial imagery of the city, updated on an annual basis. Solar panels are fairly obvious installations. These systems are not straightforward installs and involve running potentially dangerous DC cables through your...

    House Hunting - how do you decide on price range?

    Great advice on taking a trusted builder along to assess the houses you are seriously interested in. When we bought a few years back I got some superb remote guidance from a friend who is in the property industry in the States. Just simple things that he picked up from looking at photographs of...
