Done all that but the solar. On my house I did not do the flat work, excavating or the tile work, but did all the rest. I did do the lay out and the ground work for the excavating though.

Good work. In my opinion, tomorrow will belong to those, who are hard working and technically inclined.

On the solar stuff, using electricity from the power grid makes more economic sense for most people. If I were in the suburbs, I probably wouldn’t do it. I’m not fortunate enough to be close to any power company hookup, though (miles away). But installing such a system ourselves, if components are chosen wisely, can keep the cost pretty low. And it deprives local busybodies (investors with incomes from Uncle Samantha) of a resource (debt/revenues) often used to make more trouble (regulations, etc.). If I were in the suburbs, I would do whatever else possible to cut personal energy costs. It’s part of the whole “Galt” thing.
