So much for our dreams of solar power. We just can't finance it. Too bad, 'cause I'm sure it's the way to go.
But this means a friend will wire our tiny home instead of said solar guy. We are blessed to have someone we trust to do this part of our project.
We will need to find someone to hook up our propane for the stovetop and heater.
A bonfire on the property where we are building, at the beginning of a burn ban, made bad air quality worse. So we sealed the house up tight in a tarp, with some tu-tuff vapor barrier laid over the roof for extra protection from rain, and took a week off.
D K and I need to get energized, too. D K caught a cold after the roof build in the cold snap.
We need to purchase torrefied cedar siding and steel corregated roofing, along with ice and water sheild, an alternative to tarpaper.
Winter Solstice is almost here, so days will get longer and we will celebrate the Sun, though not as part of our power plans.

It's fun to peek into your progress with the tiny home. We know how ideal it would be to operate a solar powered home, and like you, at this point, solar is not an affordable choice and even for our very tiny home needs we would need quite the battery system to support it.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well with your progress, speedy recover to DK and good fortune with the many steps involved in making a safe haven home come true.
Happy Solstice and the promise of more light coming soon!
Aloha, Mokihana
Has anyone thought about a light tube, or tube light for the tiny house? They really give you a LOT of light! At night, could those little solar lights work?
