A nice thing about living full time in a RV, is it’s possible to lay in your own bed and have different views and sounds. Could be street lights, stars, buildings, lake, trucks, other RVs, or sounds of coyotes, traffic, birds, trains to music playing from a store.

Solar panel frames are in location and anchored! Next week we’ll start putting panels up and wiring!

We took Labor day night off and had few friends over, Brent and Anne sang while us (mainly me) who can’t sing sat back and listened. We are getting closer to where Brent can sing almost every night like he used to! Soon, without having to run a generator to run the smaller system.

New location of the trailer and temp location of the smaller solar system. We plan on putting the 3 300 gallon IBC totes in the trailer along with a well pump. Front part of the trailer will become home for the compost toilet. The silver hut next to the trailer will become a shower hut.
The solar setup is only here temporarily until the big setup is finished. Then it’ll get moved to it’s permanent location.
On side note we had a visitor, a preying mantis stopped in

Frames for the solar are finished! Got the trailer moved to it’s permanent home and set up the small solar in it’s temporary location.
Location for the new solar frames is empty, next step is to move frames in position, anchor them, then start mounting the panels! Once this is finished we have one more solar setup to build. Luckily next one is only 6 panels and not 16..

Ground based solar frames are almost finished, only need couple more support boards, (again, that we need to pick up)but its better to over build with the winds in mind. The frame is adjustable, we can move the panels to adjust for angle of the sun…Each frame will hold 4 solar panels.
Next phase is to move the frames in place, then anchor down, and assemble the mountable panels!

If it’s not having to run for lumber or parts that slowing the solar ground mount build, it’s the 110 temperatures and rain. We are hoping to have mounts up in the next day or two. Putting the panels on may have to wait as we have some commitments coming up.

Part of phase 2 of solar ground mount build finished, we would had been finished but changed a little bit of the design… Which meant doing a HomeDepot run for more #lumber . We are hoping to have this part finished tomorrow and start working on the next phase of setting up and anchoring.
Hard to believe this view is not from another planet! We see this view everyday here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. So far our views haven’t gotten old. Hardest part is learning all the mountains and their names etc. This mountain is easy its Ladrone Peak! Ladrone meaning thieves, the story goes that outlaws used to hide up on Ladrone Peak as there wasn’t anyway to ambush them, they can see 100 miles in all directions. If you know any history, we’d love to hear it! Feel free to post in the comments!
