Soya

I built a temporary sink in our kitchen so we could do dishes in and have a little counter space to work on. The bag hanging above the sink is a portable shower from Canadian Tire. You fill it with water and hang it outside. The sun heats up the water. We use it for rinsing the dishes. We don't yet have running water (I need power!!!!)


Our crawlspace was sprayed with a soya based foam. It is an ecological insulation made from renewable vegetable oils and recycled plastics. It turned out great. I'm sure it will do a great job keeping our heat in, in the winter.

I just love these sunsets!

Almost taste the power

Last weekend Catherine and I went back to Burlington to visit friends and family. Our trip didn't start out so well. After the truck was loaded up and I put Catherine in the truck, it wouldn't start. CAA towed it to the dealership for me and luckily Jan and Carol lent me their car. We had a great time in Burlington.


This week I got a little closer to having power. I mounted the "brains" that control everything on the wall. It probably weighs a couple of hundred pounds.


I was very nervous lifting this thing!


I got it mounted


I built a platform for the batteries so they are at a better height for maintaining.


The components are now ready for wiring.
