The past few days have been a little overwhelming. We had to go to Study Butte on Monday, then Alpine on Tuesday. and then Wednesday we worked at the house all day. Wednesday night we spent our first night at the house since we started building walls, and it was surprisingly comfortable despite the huge gaps in sheathing. Even in its unfinished state it was wonderful to spend some real living time in our house.
Yesterday we had a very important visit from Danny of the Big Bend Telephone Company. We finally had our power system inspected. The requirements are 800 amp hours of battery and a 1500 Watt inverter for off-grid customers. We had no trouble meeting this but we were admittedly setting up our system just the night before. We were also informed the because of our remote location we will be getting a satellite dish for phone and internet. This doesn't bother us one bit, and it will fit right in next to our wind turbines.
Today was another wonderful, sunny day and we managed to work on our exterior roof supports (for our overhangs), finish our transfer tank, set our water storage tank, and load about 90 gallons of water.
