To read our electricity meter, it doesn’t take much. Above all, it does not need expensive equipment. Who wants to buy „professional“ adapters for the electric meter, gets easily a hysterical laughing fit, because they call up full three-digit buzzers.

You can buy smart water meters for hundreds of Euros and have the official water meter installed in the back for hundreds of Euros again.

Cheap trick: renew the headliner
The sky is falling on your head? Use contact adhesive rather than a helmet. In the past, skies were stretched. That was time-consuming and a job for a saddler.
