A few updates

  • I decided to save on electricity a few days ago & turned my computer off. That seems to have shocked the computer into not turning back on for me! I am currently borrowing Mykl's laptop, but I want my own computer back again!
  • Someone broke into Mykl's car a few days ago, no damage, and strangely the only thing stolen was the fire extinguisher. Didn't even take the container of coins he keeps in case he encounters a parking meter, just the extinguisher.
  • Harvested another 500g of mushrooms this week - yum!
  • We're considering our electricity options & are thinking about putting in a solar panel system. Maybe a 3kW one. It will cost lots though, so it's still only in the lets consider stage.
  • It's been a long week filled with tedious meetings, so I'm going to head to bed soon to have an early night.

If you are interested in any DIY solar at all, this link is very helpful. http://www.builditsolar.com/index.htm
I am looking into building our own solar water heater and all the information that I could possibly need is on that site, including free plans and also site evaluation. Even if we went with a commercial brand, I now know what to ask salesman or what to look for in solar.
