From the Roof

You might have noticed we have a new look to our blog...it's called a Dynamic Blog. I think it was just the change I was looking for. Do you see the black bar underneath our title "Raye Family Updates"? It has several different choices of "dynamic looks" for the blog. It defaults to 'magazine'. My favorite is 'Flipcard'. I like that you can see one picture from each of the blog posts going back several years...all on the same page. The other day I decided to take the camera up on the roof when Tommy was up there working on the solar array.
This is the view of the duck enclosure. You can still click on the pictures to make them appear larger.

Another zoomed out view.

Unfortunately the folks who built this house used used roofing material. Some day we will have to re-roof this.

This is the solar array that the previous owners installed. Not good. It's noon and the panels are in the shade. This array produces just enough battery power to run the laptop, modem, and inverter...on a nice sunny day. If we try to plug anything else in, or use the electricity on a cloudy day then the inverter beeps a warning.

Me...on the roof! I actually helped to secure these two panels to the racking.
