Raising the Grade Raising the GradeAlthough the Ohio Department of Transportation gave me the go-ahead to raise their grate that hinders our front lawn (from having a lawn because the grate was allowing the run-off to steal the nutrients to have a lawn), eventually they would change the game (which is documented elsewhere on this site).

Who is Samlex? 48v InverterSurprisingly dependable Samlex. This is the 600w @ 48v model

The unit was so reliable, I obtained their next available upgrade to the 600w 48v model.

Another view of the Vickie Tree Tree to Troy RoadThe tree that started it all. Now we have several types of apple trees, a couple of cherrie trees, couple of pear trees...




2015 Array Solar Panel KitThis early 2015 solar array was able to produce either 12v or 24v energy.

Off grid effect lighting Lighting for effectEverything has some semblance of purpose. Rope lights are for those that can justify (and afford) replacing the lights in a relatively short period of time. Their shelf-life is limited partly due to trapping the heat within the poly tube that the lights are placed within.




Orchard Drainage Drain-TileActually I just had extra drain-tile that needed to disappear, win-win

We must develop a better type of battery 48v BatteryConsiderations of 96v Battery Experimentation

Since moving to Ohio, people like Mr. Tim seen below, proved to be a great help in overcoming some deficiencies.Tim in the Garage He donated dozens of canning jars which today hold pickles, peppers, and tomato sauces. He brought jackets and tarps and pens and pads and shoes and dammit if that aint from God then I don't know what is!

And if I'm going to mention Tim, I ought to mention Vickie.Springfield Vickie I have yet to find a button to push with her (no, seriously...she is incapable of being angry...I've tried). She even brought me the first apple tree and had she not done so, I'd die never probably ever having obtained one! The next generation will eat from the tree she made happen.

And if I'm going to mention Vickie, I ought to mention the greatest contributor to kenny-kind,My mom my mom:

Truth be told, she has made these final years my best years on this planet.
