WHAT'S DAD UP TO???

Do you think dad has been watching too much Glenn Beck??

Dad built this homemade solor panel from scratch. He got the directions online but they were so hard to understand that he figured it out himself. He is now working on his second one. This is mounted on our roof.Someone from church wants him to do a class on how to make them.
Here he is wiring the solor panels along the house and it goes into the basement and is connected to a 12 volt battery which can then be converted to a 110.




We had a terrific wind storm that tore the plastic on the cold frame. Dad is on top of a 15 ft ladder trying to repair it. Hopefully it'll hold if we get anymore high winds!

Super neat! Have you used them yet? Have you noticed a difference? I'm worried about Dad on that ladder! I've known too many painters that get hurt too often! That's too bad about the wind ruining the plastic. I bet you hate it when it's windy. Looks like Dad keeps plenty busy.
