Trench dug, pipe laid

The cowdogs are impressed with Jeremy's digging abilities

Summing up for the week, Jeremy got the trench dug and put the pipe in. It turns out that the power will need to be off for a full day, since we're doing more than just hooking up the pv system (adding the standby generator and its switch, upgrading the main cb box to 200 amp), so we had to find a date that Michelle would not need the computer at all. It turns out that the only weekday that meets that criteria is Friday, February 11, when Michelle leaves to visit Risha in Texas. Jeremy has scheduled that date with the coop and I changed my deadhead reservation to be home from Milwaukee by mid-afternoon in order to verify everything gets turned back on. So, we have one shot at getting this right. It'll probably be a blizzard. Anyway, here's hoping. I should add that Pat and Jeremy have been exceedingly patient with our scheduling intricacies. Pat mentioned that our system will be used in a commercial for Better World Solar on KOB tv this month, so keep a lookout!
