The last couple of days have been rather mundane and boring: long drives all over to run errands, go to the dentist, etc. It’s February, and Alan and I are feeling our usual Feb. blahs. We usually get away for a couple of weeks to take a break from the snow, mud, and cold but this year we are staying put, mostly so we can learn about the mud season here at 4 Fords. (Unless we change our mind, pull Pippin out of storage and take off!) We’re also hoping to get further on restoring the well.
I’m adding a few pictures that show what we’ve been up to. We try to do at least one small project every day. Today it was building the bedroom door and repairing some plaster damage.
Alan has all the components now to install our first (of three) solar arrays. This one is a 12-V DC 660W array to run the existing FrostKing fridge and Envirolet toilet, along with some lights. That should be up and running within a week. The second array will run the well, and the third will be the big AC one, running everything else (washer/dryer, hot water heater, etc.) and able to charge a future electric truck. Can’t wait.
Finally, it’s evening. Time to relax and watch a show.
