@Gina @artyr3 I tried and liked this suggestion.

There is something magical about looking back in time at your notes if you can manage it.
@artyr3 I'm over-sizing the system(20kW) because the house will be multi-generational and we will probably have people live there temporarily as a ministry(battered women, etc).
@artyr3 I hear that they are working on the power requirements on their end as well. Honestly, having it on part of the day might be a way to reign in some of the negative effects of always being connected. You always use something better if you have to be intentional about it too. That is part of my reasoning for going off-grid in the first place. What do you think of Tesla Powerwalls? They are expensive, but have a good warranty. You can't say making your own system up to code is cheap.
@artyr3 Oh man, I didn't even check that! That can't be right?! I do remember seeing that it would melt snow...We are building off-grid even though we do have access to it. I wonder if I could build some kind of big dish to boost the gain and reduce the power consumption?
@tanjaostman If this is true, how was he able to keep it buried for so long?! Ladies if you, or someone you know, has or is experiencing abuse by a spiritual leader, you HAVE to expose them! We've got your back! God doesn't need these people to "save souls". Total depravity is real. Don't be unprepared when you come face to face with it.
This lady was my age when Hitler invaded France...that is nuts to think about.
What about a #Mastodon temporary residence?
An instance that hosts people interested in mastodon, introduces them around and empowers them to either find an instance they might enjoy or make their own?
You get 6mos. on the instance and after that you spread your wings migrating with all your new friends to an instance of your own.
This would help spread the idea of decentralization and to an extent, self-hosting.
@cmdln Congrats! I hope I can do half as well in 3 months.
I've been re-doing the reverse ceiling plan for the new house. I picked up and wired one of the actual lights to see how it looked today. It is absolutely amazing how much better lighting has become in 20 years. These are 4" slim recessed LED lights and I don't even have to install a can. If you're building new or remodeling, give Halo or Lithonia slim LEDs a try.
