Solar System

The rails for the solar panels went up today:

I happened to be in town, so when I saw my sister stop to take a picture, I did a photo-bomb!

Driveway Asphalt

The asphalt was put on the driveway today.

Moving In, Solar Panel Delivery, Gross Well Water

I finally got my big truck full and made the trip to Maryland. The family came over and what took me weeks (months?) to pack and load was unloaded in a few hours! Finally, some furniture in the Living Room!

It's going to take me forever to unpack all of these boxes!

I was also there for the scary delivery of the solar panels. This pallet was bigger than the platform that went up and down. Steve had to come and help the driver. Once the wheels of the forklift were off the platform, they had to tug on the pallet to bring it forward. Then, it still had to be lowered while the pallet was overlapping the back of the truck, breaking that edge of pallet when the platform was lowered. Thousands of pounds. Scary stuff. I told the driver, "You break it, you buy it!"

And some grossness! My first night in the house, I was drinking some water I had gotten next door at my Mom's house. When I was done, I went (in the near-dark) to the kitchen sink, rinsed the mug, and set it on the counter. The next morning, this is what it looked like... Pretty gross. And it smells like rotten eggs. I've been running the water to try to clear it out.
