It's still raining up here at Red River! This Memorial Day weekend has pretty much been washed out, although we're expecting only partly cloudy skies tomorrow. Even with all the rain and fog, we've made it this far without turning the generator on. (I haven't let poor Tanisha charge her iPod or Nintendo, though. Sorry, Tanisha!) Today, our voltage is hovering the 48.5-50 range. From my understanding of the system, our batteries turn themselves off when they hit 44 volts, so we have a decent way to go yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be partly sunny as expected, and we'll get our full charge back. When it's overcast, we pull in between 150 and 350 watts, which is enough to run the lights, if nothing else.
Since it's been so wet out, I've had our guys putting up the ceiling in the Island instead of doing outdoor projects. It's amazing how well it lightens the cabin up, and it's not even finished yet. We're also going to do those two end walls and add oak to the floor of the loft, which will make a huge difference.
