If the DW and kids dont interrupt me i can build one in 10 hours, its not really that hard its just time consuming tabbing the cells and sealing them in eva with a heat gun.

That is so true, and my boss took away everyones sick days for it, he is a real greedy you know what. Cant wait to head out to the homestead!

I am making a step by step how too, i hope to finish it up over the Thanksgiving holiday,I got to do some work at a shop that makes them and learned how, the slow part for doing it at home is sealing the cells in eva, lol dont have the eguipment so i have to use a heat gun. i will post it here...

The truck for sure, that's what i would do.

thanks all i will look into some of these and try it :)

The tempertures are about the same there as here in georgia, except no humidity, Last year it snowed on mom out there. But it melted during the day. On average the winter is shorter and not as cold during the day but nights gets down to freezing. They claim there is 3 growing seasons there which...

lol yes ice storms here really make it bad, last winter my wonderful boss didnt let us leave early when the freezing rain started and it took me 4.5 hours to get home, people here can not drive, they dont slow down until they cause a 50 car pile up or setting in the ditch, it was horrible...

Yes we are in the northern suburb of it, its 45 miles south of me to downtown. i work 25 miles away from home and its an hour and twenty minute drive :(

We lived in Arizona for about 4 years when i was a teenager. And have gone there a few times on vacation. We like the climate much easier on the old bones lol. And out at McNeal there is no rat race like here in atlanta area. I am ready for a more simple way of life.;) Yes it is 1730 miles from...

wow, listening to the news this morning atlanta alone has 10,600 foreclosures just this month, they say that is not even close to being over in georgia on foreclosures, its sad at how many folks are being put out and specialy over the holidays:(

Good for you having the house and land paid for that is great!!! We are moving off grid to our homestead out of necessity and its paid for, we cant afford to keep our home and i had to take a 15 percent pay cut to just keep my job :( so we are having to move no later then march. I know its...

Oh i will try that, i know living here in town and working a desk job i don't get much exercise, the treadmill is a good coat rack lol, I guess i need to be more active, my DW does cook healthy for us and we don't go out and eat, i even take my lunch to work. Once we get to our homestead, around...

I have high blood pressure and take meds for it, does anyone know of something natural that would help it? I hate taking medicine :(

Haha, no i dont think your bipolar and yes i read the whole post, its great!!! We have a DD that is 15 and total drama queen, according to her the move is the end of the world as she knows it :lau and the chicken salad sounds so yummy!!:drool

I played with it here and boxed it back up for the move, it seems well built and it was on sale for 350.00 and came with the charge controller, i will know when i install it for real when we get to our homestead in march. But so far i am happy with the construction of it and it weighs 23 pounds.

Hi ya Wannabefree, i'm new here and justed wanted to say i really enjoy following your post took a few days to read all of it lol, may God keep blessing you and your family :D

Hi we are in Acworth, Georgia, our sub division is looking like a ghost town and its been going down hill with crime from empty house's, we cant wait to leave. Georgia is still at 10.1 percent unemployment but i know it is higher then that, they don't count the people that no longer have...

I am currently building my own. You can expect to spend about half of the cost per panel as purchasing them prebuilt. The key to long lasting diy panels is sealing the cells in a encapsulation. I am building 120 watt 18 volt panels that produce 6.7 amp. I purchase the tempered glass from a local...

I cant see them either :(
