Delivery and HNT

The solar panels arrived today. And there was much rejoicing....yaaaay. It was somewhat anticlimactic and a little amusing. The panels arrived on a single pallet, and the other parts in another box. After the pallet had been delivered, Chris and I stood around the stack of panels under the house and kinda looked at each other, shrugged, and then went back upstairs. Woo hoo. ;) Roadway either owns Penske Rental or they had to rent a truck to deliver our panels. We thought it was hilarious that a shipping company had to rent a truck. Maybe it's normal, but it was funny to us. It does say a lot that they went to that much trouble to get the panels to us, so for that we're grateful. We've got an electrician scheduled to install the electrical sub-panel and the solar installers scheduled to put the solar panels on the roof. I'll definitely post when the next steps are done. We're still planning a trip to Orlando December 15th through 17th. We hope we can get together with the Orlando bloggers again, and meet others we missed on our last trip. For HNT I give you me in the morning on the back patio as a front came through a few weeks ago. It was cold and rainy and I was out enjoying the weather. HNT_1 Me on the back porch

Just loving the 'easy, breezy' feel there Doug!!! Can I join you?

As for those solar panels...wait until you see how much money you will save! Let's say y brother-in-law's $1800 electric bill dropped to $700-$900/month.

Glad to hear you got the panels - and safely. I'll be anxious to hear the outcome.

Hmmm... as I look at the picture [NIIICE!], but where is the H in HNT? Or is this the "two-week edition", you know, two halves make a whole? :)

As I sit surrounded by snow, I envy you your porch. And the view is nice too *wink wink*

Yeah, I'm working that whole weekend, but sincerely hope we get to meet up. I can stop out somewhere AFTER work -- if the rest of the gang doesn't get tired and go home like last time.

Are you totally Nekkid? (can't quite tell). Looks kinda cool. Our first rain might be coming in this weekend, but who knows?

Have a good one.

That's a very lovely picture. I like the spray bottle. Good to hear that you got the panels. I'm personally a big fan of Penske. When JR and I moved to SF it was by far the most inexpensive. Best of luck with the final installation and hope that there are no problems.
