Knowing how to secure your financial well-being is one of the most important things you’ll ever need now. You don’t have to be a genius to do it. You just need to know a few basics, form a plan, and be ready to stick to it. No matter how much or little money you have, the important thing is to educate yourself about your opportunities
Interesting most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in fact like this and always depend on money in the bank very bad ideal
@Queen justice As a newbie investing in Crypto will be best for you, I know of a portfolio/investment manager Chris Pulver and Expert in trade investment as you don't have to under go any stress in the trades, he manages my trading
Exactly, money is always eager and ready to work for anyone who is ready to employ it, I was able to withdraw my profit of $17,030 after investing $3,500 in just 14days of trading with Mr Chris Pulver
The lower panels are only a coulple feet off the ground in my opinion it would be a lot easier and faster to simply use one of those telescoping poles with a push broom style head and simply swept the snow downward
Let me add a suggetion, though probably you already planned for that: do keep a backup generator with a hefty fuel tank. You people cannot rely on solar energy in a place with heavy snowfall.
@@JP-re3bc - Ideally one would have a number of sources of power in order to supplement the quest for electrical storage. A wind generator would be a good addition, and hydro electric as well. They have various sources of running water that could help produce power - the little stream behind the house is probably not enough for a lot - that stream further up where they had heavy beams laid down to make a bridge - that would probably be a good candidate for a hydro plant. As DC does not travel well, if it was converted to AC at the source, then a line could be run from that source to the homestead(s) for hydro power...
@@samvalentine3206 Wind power is a traditional tried and true source of power in rural America. Good one. As for water power it is ok but I guess that stream freezes solid in winter, after all they are almost in Canada.... :)
@@samvalentine3206 - Howdy, Sam! Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Praying the tornado producing storms don’t get up your way. Stay safe, healthy & warm. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Fishing the line through with a plastic bag and a leaf blower as tools just blew my mind!🤯 genius!!! You guys talking through the pipe made me giggle. 💗
A warm “hello” from Spunky 🐶 and I 😃 to everyone here at the Lumnah Acres channel, from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 We hope you are enjoying the weekend so far. Its nighttime here, and I enjoy watching these wonderful episodes just before going to bed 🛌 ! 😃🐶👍🏾
This array appears to be one of the largest I've seen for a home system. That wouldn't surprise me if Al asked Josh for tips, Josh being an electrician and all.
@@KenJ-61 The arrays look similar in size, but somehow WWOG is getting over 30,000 watts so nearly double the output. And they have propane generator with automatic switch over as backup for long periods of cloudy days. This will do Al and Gina for a long time, but they may need to expand at some point as did WWOG. It also has a lot to do with battery backup. WWOG is constantly adding batteries to their system as they can afford to. Just added two more the other day. The more comforts you add to the home, the more demand on the system so expansion happens.
😁 I really enjoyed this video, especially the “comic relief” you and Gina provided with the conduit!😂 Brilliant idea about the bag & blower with the string! Impressive problem solving! Your solar array is huge! You should never be lacking for power when all is said and done! Very exciting! Thanks you guys for sharing!❤️
Gooooood morning Lumnah Acres and family! Quick, somebody find Lassie…Ms. Gina is stuck in a cold hole! Loved Ms. Gina’s views from the woods and the sneak around the upright post, gave us a little adventurous aspect today..
That was fun watching you and Gina goof off with the pipe telephone. Big brother in laws seem pretty useful. Hopefully you can learn to live with the imperfect array installation. As long as it is not a strength defect. I enjoy your channel. Keep on plugging along and Be Safe. Merry Christmas
That is a huge array of solar panels. I don't think you're ever going to run out of power unless you don't have a battery bank system big enough to take care of your power needs when the clouds block the sun for several consecutive days. I'm sure that you will have a propane generator for backup to keep you covered on those times as well as you seem to do everything first cabin.
@@larryatwell9734 ... I believe the idea is to still have enough power when weather conditions bring the charging capacity to maybe 30% on cloudy days. (about 5 Kw in that case) It's not a bad idea if the budget allows.
Wow that’s quite the array you have there and pretty impressive that you were able to set up the frame work as accurately as you did so far in advance. Your OCD is showing, Al. I can relate to that. Lol. So nice to see some of your extended family, btw.
Good morning AL Gina and Olivia from south Alabama last 72 degrees at 5am!! The tiny house is looking good. Hope y'all have a blessed day together. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Loved it when Gina came to help for the last few inches of the last panel - My wife, Julie, does that all the time and takes the credit for a job well done..... AND it was a job done very well... can't wait to see your battery system.
Be kind to the tall guys. I have a relatively tall husband and many tall friends. They have trouble finding clothes, shoes, beds,and free time with many asking for help. Just saying.
Morning from the UK, I’m loving watching the build progress, timber framed buildings, spray foam and solar, still aren’t the norm here. I would love a nice big plot of land to build my own house. Sadly land is extortionately expensive here. Have a good weekend, Gina I love seeing the recipes you cook up. I also love seeing the animals. 😊🏴🇬🇧
West Sussex you could fit 1 thousand houses in to their garden and they would all be unaffordable to working class people here in the UK! 4 of those panels are bigger than my garden.
My wife has been admitted to the ER twice this year, both for being Dehydrated. We too do not eat a lot of salt in our meals. Salt free Vegetables when possible. No salt on our breakfast eggs either. She is now drinking Electrolyte Pedialyte and a lot more water. Just because it is cold outside it doesn't mean you should stop hydrating yourself.
Good morning Lumnah's family, and friend's, I know I am late and for that I apologize. I am glad to see that you got help for you solar panel array... Everything is moving which is progress and even though you are waiting on other things you can still move forward with other things that need to be finished. God bless you, Have a wonderful weekend!
You are so correct about dehydration! I have been working really hard to drink more water, and keep up on my vitamins and minerals after having issues this summer. My inversion table is helpful after a long day also. Glad to hear you are doing better Al! Back pain is no fun 🤨
Wow the height of your help makes reaching a bit easier. Thank God for blessings that came in all sizes. Tell him we thank him for helping you also. So wonderful to have good help. God bless.
I had a good chuckle when You and Gina was talking through your "intercom"! Glad all of your solar array is installed and ready to wire into the house. 👍🙏🏻😎🌞
Gina I am envious… you have and amazing husband and brother. We are running short on guys like yours in the U.K. (well at least where I live) 😂 Great team work and fab vlog as always. Your off grid project is all coming together nicely. Are you likely to move any of the animals soon? Or at least start showing us where they will be when you move permanently to tiny house what the layout will look like.
To clear snow from our array, we have a commercial backpack leaf blower with a gutter cleaning attachment to come over the top from the back. Then finish from the front. Works great.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing that the solar panels arrived and were installed. I’m a techie geek and was waiting to see that install. That has got to be the largest install of panels I’ve seen on a private residence. It looks great. Thanks Al and Gina and all the best to you.
This is half of the system that Wild Wonderful Off Grid has but is a good start. This will likely be more than enough for the current needs and is easy to expand later when the full homestead is in place. It might be enough overall with enough battery backup, but those long spells of winter grey days could require backup gnerator at some point WWOG has a propane fed back up generator for the worst days and weeks even though they expanded to over 30 kw of solar. So many variables it is hard to tell until you actually get moved in and use it for a while.
@@MrClivelupo I did just that and you are correct. At my age, memory plays tricks sometimes. They do only have 13KW on their system. Somehow their pricing of the overall system stuck in my long term memory as the size as after tax credits they had roughly 30k dollars in it. Thank you for pointing that out and now if I can just get it to stick in long term memory at 68 years old.
Lumnah's answer to the ISS - they got maybe 6 times that up there at a rough guess (from aging memory, and I have not not looked lately)! Makes you think. At least you did not have to lift it 230 miles or so as well. Good to see this at very long last. Be well. :o)
One of the problems in a cold climate is frost heaving of embedded structures in the ground. If the earth screws are not properly installed per the manufacturer’s installation direction, frost heaving will occur and toppling the structure over time.
Wow...love the progress on the tiny home and now the solar panels. Y'all are moving right along. Looking forward to your next video. Have a great weekend Lumnah family.
The OGP is coming along really great. As for your health, if you're using sea salt instead of table salt with iodine, you may be compromising your thyroid. Unless you are sodium sensitive salt is a great source for iodine.
Powering ahead now what an amazing set up & so good to have very tall in law what a difference he made. Gina pictures were gorgeous as usual that snow makes so much stand out. Well done Al`s team.
Goooood moooorrrnnning Al, Gina and Olivia fellow Viewers and all my friends hoodie from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲. Hopefully you all having a cool cool weather like we are having here. Let's go see what's up for today episode. Happy viewing
Brilliant tall brother in law...very handy...its brilliant to see all the solar panels up...hopefully not long till you have some heat in the not so tiny hse...loved the blower trick...cool...
Two suggestions..... As the solar panels act like an enormous sail you should:- 1. Drop each lower panel by say 6" to create an opening to allow wind to pass through. 2- Place your plentiful rocks/boulders behind the panel array to make a deflection wall for winds from the north.
I'll defer to your solutions,i'm just worried about the sail effect and the damage ,cost and disruption to life .I've previously advocated an adjustable angle set up which could additionally have been angled or "feathered" during gales-but that is history.
“Pinching” the wind to go through even smaller holes makes it exponentially stronger. The effect is just like putting your thumb over the end of the hose to get the pressure up. Gapping holes also take away from the monolithic strength of the mass.
It looks like you're going to need to throw a big party on the operating homestead for all your good friends this spring. :) You need a socket adapter for your drill.
gosh, no ladders needed when you have a brother in law so tall. Its great to see family getting involved.
When I saw the first brother in law I was like is he 7ft? Man do I feel short. 🤣

I think you should build a scaffold behind the solar panels with a catwalk so you’d have an easy access to clean the array, remove snow and such

The weather you are able to work in with bare hands is amazing to me.
One of the problems in a cold climate is frost heaving of embedded structures in the ground. If the earth screws are not properly installed per the manufacturer’s installation direction, frost heaving will occur and toppling the structure over time.
... and that's why the anchors go into the ground BELOW the frost line. This may settle over time due to earth movement, but it won't frost heave.

@@samvalentine3206 good morning Sam. Same here my friend
Brilliant tall brother in law...very handy...its brilliant to see all the solar panels up...hopefully not long till you have some heat in the not so tiny hse...loved the blower trick...cool...
Two suggestions..... As the solar panels act like an enormous sail you should:-
1. Drop each lower panel by say 6" to create an opening to allow wind to pass through.
2- Place your plentiful rocks/boulders behind the panel array to make a deflection wall for winds from the north.
I'll defer to your solutions,i'm just worried about the sail effect and the damage ,cost and disruption to life .I've previously advocated an adjustable angle set up which could additionally have been angled or "feathered" during gales-but that is history.
“Pinching” the wind to go through even smaller holes makes it exponentially stronger. The effect is just like putting your thumb over the end of the hose to get the pressure up. Gapping holes also take away from the monolithic strength of the mass.
@@Manoffire260 If that were true yachts would have holes in their sails.
a gap between the upper and lower panels would also allow the snow to fall through.
So cool that your brother brought his young son along to help.
Those were Brothers In Law.

It looks like you're going to need to throw a big party on the operating homestead for all your good friends this spring. :) You need a socket adapter for your drill.
Happy for you. You work hard and now you are going to reap the benefits.
Super looking array! Well done, everyone! Regards Stephen.
