Hello from Sofi, slipstick Italian-speaking pep band leader from 1971!

Just starting my significant remodeling to my 1992 ranch style w/ exposed basement, has all the potential to become a solar showpiece, if I can manage my finances doing it. With my nuke submarine and shore training facility experience, I hope to harness solar and wind, concurrently ready the place for floods and high winds at the top of a hill (don't try to reason that out) It's going to be an adventure, and I can use suggestions well-thought out (I don't want to waste your time or mine) I'll try to keep you all updated with my successes. Vote for me! (humor from the weak side) I'm also fairly new to forums.

As soon as I figure out how to upload foto's, I'll take a picture of the place and give an indication of why I think the place is well suited, it'll be here. As far as plans go, I plan on first incorporating solar hot water, next will be electric and wind. I am currently taking a solar design course with Ontility, so as to turn knowledge into usable income, in conjunction with my Workforce Education degree, the future is a bright one. The first adventure is now with installing a spur line for a water spigot on one end of the home, using PEX, which is to me, after working at a hardware store with my uncle, for a year after returning home from a Mormon mission, back in the '70's, and before entering the Navy, a semi miracle, after cutting my technical teeth on soldering and installing rudimentary plumbing, cutting copper tubing, and smoking electrical connections. Like I say, an adventure (in survival)
