Solar system installed; AC everywhere
With the help of our electrician brother-in-law, Ron Wink, we now have lights and outlets throughout the cabin. We are running everything off the system -- drills, power saws, grinders, you name it.
And, somehow, our cell booster is working better. It seems to have improved when we grounded everything.
Internet is slow but possible. I haven't yet tried voice. Texting is excellent. We have not used the generator whatsoever.
Congratulations, Dan! I know you must be ecstatic! Very nice touch for “bush living”. I hope your summer is going well and that you are untouched by the fire problems, including all the smoke. I don’t know how Canada could have a smoke problem. I think it has all been sent to the US. Some of my Old Friends group are at Bow Narrows this week. I chose not to come this year but plan to return in the near future. I really miss the annual trip there.
congratulations on the new power system. Looking forward to seeing the progress and stories from the lake.

That’s awesome,Dan. Hope to see you in a few weeks. We’ll be in camp the week starting July 30 if you’re still there.

Hello Dan Do you just have the panel shown in the picture? How is the cabin coming?
