I found some plans online and spent about $20 on different pipe fittings and whatnot. And $600 on electric water and gas. Ha ha. New page. I’m awesome tonight.

Maksim Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Posted August 18, 2018 I got to say, I am liking the idea of blowing own snow.... Do wonder how much it would be in electricity... no solar installed yet but fortunately don't need to worry about water as we have our own well. Quote

A friend got solar at his shop years ago when the gubberment had huge rebates. Says theres no way he could justify it now. At one point he sent me a link to a web page that showed what it was making and what he was using. Pretty cool. He also heats his shop with a very extensive waste oil heater system. Quote

There is still a pretty good rebate, but it’s not cheap overall. Still considering it. Quote
Shadows Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 Whats so expensive about it? China hasnt started mass producing panels? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 Online it says solar panels for a home can run $15k-$25k. That’s like a decade worth of electric bills. Quote
Maksim Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Posted August 19, 2018 The breakeven here in PA is a lot more than in NJ as the electric rates are about 30% less. Quote

Maksim Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Posted November 16, 2018 So... answered the question... can I ski on property... YES! Went out today and tested my two "trails." The long one running down the side of my property is about 350 feet.... While it will be perfect for my 3 year old... all of this fresh powder was tough to ski and was sinking in, tougher to build up speed... perhaps if packed would be great... The shorter but steeper one was actually pretty cool.... from the top of the septic drain field, through the narrow part between my "trees" and the side of the house, down to the street. https://imgur.com/a/NpYCvW9 https://imgur.com/a/cNfHVUh https://imgur.com/a/gfQE7E8 4 Quote

Couple friends have solar panels at their homes and they tell me you lease them rather than purchase. They say it has saved them money. 1 Quote
