Hey Chas, we should be chinking next year. There is always an IF but IF things go...
I’m still not convinced. From what I understand the reverse transfer of heat in a flat plate or vacuum collector is minimal during a sunny day. However during the night or cloudy days with below...
Peter, it stinks to hear about your place being up for sale. But with only so much time I for one, and for what it’s worth think you are doing the right thing. My wife didn’t go to the class and...

My Mom has a close friend in CO that built a beautiful Earthship home near the continental divide. My wife and I along with my Mom visited her about six years ago. It was winter when we visited yet...
Hi Francis. I got a chuckle out of your post since I’m one of those…Yuk….you know…..“sales people”. You are so right for the most part when it comes to retail sales. The good news is that there...
I sure wish I could get it running. Rod and I (slight thread hijack) tried for quite some time. Cleaned out the fuel bowl, rinsed the tank, put in another fuel line, etc. We had to pull start it...
When my converter made some smoke signals before passing its last volt, I hard wired a separate battery charger to a 120 VAC circuit. So any time the generator is running or I am using the shore...

Hey Mike,
It was a great class wasn't it! I'm looking forward to getting together as well. This weekend I will be dragging some more logs up the mountain. The following weekend is opening day...
