Here are some of the neigh-bors! This pasture is one farm south of here, just past the South Marysburgh Dump. Don't drink the water!What I enjoy most about Prince Edward County is the view of the sky. So much wide open space is good for the soul. And weather forcasting. You'll always know what lies a half hour ahead of you.
The firewood has been here for at least two months, so it's nice and dry.
The firewood has been here for at least two months, so it's nice and dry.Our wood stove is so small, though, that Jim had to build a buck to hold one log so he could saw it in two. IE chainsaw!
I thought you'd like to see our whizzer! Our potty. The composting toidy! Works like a charm, just a bit breezy on the bum because of the 4" chimney creating the necessary draught to take odours and humidity outside.
Last but not least, our solar panels. Mounted on pressure-treated lumber, we saved hundreds of dollars by NOT mounting them on a metal & plastic stand that revolves to track the strongest rays of sunlight. This gives us enough power to run Jim's woodworking equipment, a vacuum and the house lights. The Surette batteries can store a fair bit of power, although not lots, so we do have to be careful.. The whole idea of the Mini House is to REDUCE, right? Right!
....now if we can just get The Big Three to invest in solar panels, we'd get this economy on the right track! BTW, there is a picture of Bill & Leslie, of Manjack Cay, BAhamas, on my other blog, pictured with their solar-powered golf-cart. Hey, GM, take some hints!
