How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

Why Should You Consider Solar Enhancements for Your Family Bathroom This Summer?

Modern bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, large circular mirrors, and a glass-enclosed shower.

Did you know that water heating accounts for nearly 18% of your home's energy use

Imagine harnessing the sun's power to heat your water and light up your space, all while saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.

Solar enhancements aren't just for rooftops and gardens anymore. They're making waves indoors, especially in the most underrated room of the house—the bathroom. 

It's time to let the sun in and experience the difference it can make.

What is Solar Enhancement?

Embracing solar technology in your bathroom isn't as far-fetched as it might sound. 

From solar water heaters to solar-powered ventilation fans, the options are both practical and innovative. Enhancements like these improve your daily comfort but also contribute to long-term savings.

Solar water heaters, for instance, use the sun's energy to heat your water, reducing the need for traditional gas or electric heaters. 

Similarly, solar tubes can bring in natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Unlock Energy Savings

Installing solar water heaters helps you tap into a renewable energy source that keeps on giving. Say goodbye to skyrocketing utility bills and hello to long, warm showers powered by sunlight.

“Not only do you save money, but you also gain energy independence,” note professionals at Select Electrical and Solar Solutions. No more worries about power outages or fluctuating energy prices. The sun's got you covered.

Key Benefits of Solar Enhancements

  • Cost Efficiency

    • Reduce Bills: Solar water heaters can lower water heating costs by 50%–80%.

    • Energy Savings: Solar lighting cuts down electricity use during the day.

  • Environmental Impact

    • Lower Emissions: Decreases reliance on fossil fuels.

    • Sustainable Choice: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions significantly.

  • Energy Independence

    • Stable Costs: Less affected by utility rate hikes.

    • Reliability: Provides hot water even during power outages.

  • Increase Home Value

    • Attractive Asset: Eco-friendly homes are in demand.

    • Property Boost: Solar installations can enhance resale value.

  • Government Incentives

    • Tax Credits: Federal and state incentives can reduce upfront costs.

    • Rebates: Local utilities may offer rebates for solar installations

Boost Home Value and Aesthetics

Solar enhancements can increase your property's value. 

Prospective buyers love the idea of an energy-efficient home, and a solar-powered bathroom is a unique selling point.

Beyond functionality, solar fixtures add a modern touch to your bathroom's design. Sleek solar tubes and skylights flood the space with natural light. It creates a serene atmosphere that artificial lighting just can't replicate.

 "Modern solar fixtures are designed to blend seamlessly with high-quality bathroom supplies, making sure your space is both stylish and sustainable,” add experts at SEQ Bathroom Supplies.

Easy Installation and Low Maintenance

Worried about a complicated setup? Fear not. 

Many solar products are designed for straightforward installation, some even as DIY projects you can tackle over a weekend.

Once installed, these systems require minimal upkeep. With durable materials and few moving parts, you can enjoy the benefits without the hassle of constant maintenance checks or repairs.

Contribute to a Greener Planet

Every small step counts when it comes to environmental conservation. Opting for solar enhancements reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes sustainable living

Teach your family the importance of eco-friendly choices. Setting this example can inspire others in your community to follow suit, amplifying your positive impact.

Making the Switch

  1. Assess Your Bathroom's Solar Potential

    • Sunlight Exposure: Check how much natural light your bathroom receives.

    • Professional Consultation: Consult with a solar expert for tailored advice.

  2. Research Available Products

    • Solar Water Heaters: Explore different models suitable for your needs.

    • Solar Lighting: Consider solar tubes or skylights for natural illumination.

  3. Check for Incentives

    • Tax Credits: Visit www.energy.gov for information on federal incentives.

    • Local Rebates: Contact your utility provider about possible rebates.

  4. Plan Your Installation

    • DIY vs. Professional: Decide if you'll install yourself or hire a pro.

    • Get Quotes: Obtain estimates to compare costs and services.

  5. Enjoy the Benefits

    • Monitor Savings: Keep track of your reduced energy bills.

    • Share Your Experience: Encourage others by showcasing your eco-friendly upgrade.

Brightening Your Future

This summer, seize the chance to revolutionise your bathroom with solar enhancements. It's a statement—embracing innovation while caring for the planet.

So, why wait? Dive into the future of home living and let your family bathroom shine brighter than ever before.
