Very cool Danny boy....how many of those 7.6kW Pika inverters are you going to have?

Just the one for now. According to Pika. They can be oversized 130% dc solar array. To 10k

Good to know....thanks Dan.  What's your projected move in date?

[giantkiller]

Everything I try to get done is a couple of weeks till I can get there...then next week... that usually means a couple of weeks. Was originally supposed to be done last September. But now shooting for March.  For sewer and water hookup to the street
And then just the finished grading for the lot.

Yea, what I've learned, when a sub say's "Manana"....it does not necessarily mean tomorrow....it just means not today.

The house looks great so far. 

Hopefully the weather holds off and the remaining outside work finishes up quickly.

Looking awesome mate.

I know how frustrating the moving goalposts can be. Good to see you have a sensible outlook.

This is a fantastic journey you're on and is brilliant to follow.

[giantkiller]

Yes thanks. It's definitely a journey. It's another one of my creations. Like my bikes. Can't just go and buy one. Have to make it the way you want it. Plus it's my attempt at being able to retire. With geothermal and solar. Shooting for no bills. Won't have to worry about price utilities going up. Down or around.

[Pat Conlon]

Yep, keep a low over head...A very smart move Dan...for sure. 
You're going to love those heated shop floors!

Well WE Energies finally has net meter up and running. So I'm providing power for my neighbors.

Finally getting siding. Still don't have man doors. But have the door jams with dummy doors. So they can install the siding. Ledger board for the deck off the kitchen/livingroom.

Looking good Dan, almost ready for a rally near you.

I too smell a rally

[giantkiller]

I would have plenty of room for bikes. and. Plenty of floor space or space for  camping.

If anyone is passing through and needs a place to stay. Or work on their bike. My door is always open for fellow fjers.

Dan,

Any update on the progress for the new place?

Are you all moved in and loving it yet?

The house finally got to the point that it was my turn. So I got all of the pumps and manifolds set up for the six infloor/inslab heat zones. And the 3 chilled water fan coils.
And figured out how to set up the mechanical room. With the loop pump, Bosch Geo unit, pump from the unit to the buffer tank, to the manifolds for the zone pumps. I had to drywall the inside of the mechanical room under the stairs before I could place everything. That was fun by myself, 5/8" fire rated. Especially the ceiling @ 12'. Don't have too many pictures.
