Naomi and I rented a small tiny home/cabin through Air BNB for a little weekend getaway to hit the restart button. We took her polaroid camera as well but I didn't scan any of those in.

Well, I lucked out in finding this 3000 watt continuous - 6000 watt surge inverter on clearance at Harbor Freight today. They had it marked down to $224, and I had a 20% off coupon, bringing it down to $ 179.

 

The 120vac EVSE that came with the 2012 Chevy Volt, had no problem using it.

 

This photo shows the load on the Inverter with the car charging at 8 amps.

 

Should be no problem with the 12 amp setting, but the battery bank was not fully charged tonight.

 

Depending upon the heat generated at 12 amps, at the 120vac outlet of the inverter, I may have to go inside the unit, and solder in a direct connection with a good 10 gauge extension cord pigtail for the EVSE.

SOIL ANALYSiS of Salamander Springs Farm market gardens shows the transformation of the soil over several years of production.

Terms such as CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity), Soil pH, soil organic matter, and the various crop nutrients are discussed.

This slide also includes a little "Tale of Two Soils" written on Salamander Springs Farm highlighting the important of working with nature's processes and not tilling!

The floors of the Kinney family Earthship were all hand poured concrete slabs. Two workers work out the bubbles and air from a recent pour.

Sometimes some leave their PC at home and go off grid to communicate & eat marsh-mellows at a campfire.

It's nice to be off-grid and still have the capacity to run a few laptops.

Nibbling away at the rubber with a cutter is the only way I can get them open to expose the wires

There is NO such thing was waste. Just not used resources.

Wiring the batteries, fuse, controller and inverter at the off-grid Almacen, Riocaliente, Asturias, Spain.

Passive solar house kit- overhangs prevent the summer sun from heating the house, low winter sun helps heat it. Energy efficient design reduces need for bigger systems. Built with SIP, with passive solar modern design.

The batteries were second hand and stored for almost a year so we're giving them a really good charge before connecting them to the household circuit
