Yea, I'm me so here goes:
Many here have put a lot of time, effort, and money into solar set-ups. No problem with them in particular, but have any of you considered not having power at all?
Up the mountain, I had our power usage down to skeletal use: the fridge and freezers and well pump and minimal use otherwise. We were right on the river so when power was out had often hauled buckets for flushing etc. (Later added the flip switch to go to generator). My goal was to have very little disruption if power became extinct. I could go without a fridge (Hubby can't/won't). The freezers were my hang-up. If I had to can/dry/smoke all of our meat, I could but prefer steak on the grill so until that day, we will have the freezers. Anyways, am I the only one who thinks like this?
