What we’re making
It’s a perfect day for making. Making lots of…
electricity! We had solar panels for electricity installed on the garage roof a week or so ago (we already have solar hot water panels on the roof of the house) and with a forecast of sun and 34 degrees, it’s a perfect day for making power and watching the electricity meter spin backwards and feed back into the grid. Well, that’s until we turn on the air conditioning – it uses a huge amount of electricity! That’s the view from the upstairs window across to the city. If I was up early enough it would also contain lots of hot air balloons floating above the buildings. I love that view.
Mr Thornberry is so excited about the solar panels that he is obsessively watching how much power is being generated and I would not be surprised if he records those figures and plots them on a graph. He has already been up on the garage roof this morning cleaning the panels in order to maximise their efficiency. If only I could get him to clean the filthy kitchen windows with as much enthusiasm.
I might need to pump you for advice and more info one of these days. We are thinking of buying a block of land with no power at all so would have to fully solar. It scares me that I won’t have enough power to sew while doing a load of washing…
Love them Lara. We need to look at getting them too
I love the idea of your husband up on the roof cleaning … new toys are so exciting
I can imagine Mr T’s enthusiasm….. Perhaps you could do a re-branding exercise on the kichen windows to spark his interest in that direction… SOLAR LIGHTING, perhaps?
Hillarious!!! what guys will clean hey!!
