I'll post a pic of "WOLF HOME" if I get the time to do what I want to do with it.

It will be the first time in a long time it was done at all - the "OTHER" was incredibly strange...

(Not to mention "CHINTZEE")

In MY HOUSE, I WILL celebrate "CHRIST MASS". See if I don't!

In July we don't move'em to the back deck, we just move the couch out to the front lawn, turn the lights on and party there

When wifey and I first heard this, she looked at me and said "they're going to be able to see our house from the space shuttle this year!"

She doesn't belong to the Northwest Chapter.... but she should.
Hey Polar bear, isn't this the same HOA that banned putting up the American flag for the 4th of July or something to that affect?

HOA rules can't over ride local state and federal laws with their rules though. Just like when they try to ban satelite dishes. I won that battle with the last HOA I had. I'll never have another HOA.

Did I see that video last year, or the year before?

Anyhoo, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll be lighting up the front of our house.

Thumbs up To St.Nick .

Wolfman01 - A cheap wind generator would be a single post alternator hooked up to a small windmill - using 12 v. lights. There are sets of lights for semi-tractors & several sets are availible in LED's now. Some are flashlight-battery powered. One of the simplest systems use a couple small dutch-type windmills hooked together with bicycle chain driving a car alternator. { My 1st model of this type was made from a 16" bicycle wheel ] The "mills" have sails and are solid mounted > turn the same direction any direction the wind blows. I've built scale models till I found a design that works. Your local library should have several books for DIY. If you have enough wind to fly a kite - there is potential for wind power. Wind and solar together make an unbeatable combo. The meter on your house will run backwards if you make a surplus and the power company HAS to buy it from you. (You buy retail / sell wholesale) The most space needed is for a battery bank, controler, and an inverter.
