Two full days of workshops from DIY solar panels, to raising chickens, to insulating with spray foam, etc.
The vendors were dishing up free advice and ideas. One booth had a do it yourself sun tracker system using a satellite dish mount. He used the Redrock led tracker eyes.
The first workshop had info on making solar panels. The speaker and his Dad do it as a father/son project and are even sandwiching their solar plates in a liquid self leveling type sealant. DIY cost for them was $5370 compaired to the cost to purchase new and installed was $45,300. Very interesting.
Actor Ed Bagley Jr. was there promoting a composting toilet.
