Stalking the Walk

Steps


We know about walking the talk, and we try, however, we have yet to apply at our home many of the technologies that we promote.  We have 400 watts of Solar PV and a few solar ovens.  We have an evacuated tube solar hot water collector that we still haven’t installed.  We also have a pole mount for a 400kWh/month solar electric system that we haven’t bought panels for.

It’s because we are on a limited budget which is limited even more by investing in this new enterprise (Inspiramental Co.) since 2008.  I’ve had a job in construction since I was 16 and have wired and plumbed several restaurants without owning any personally.  I’ve helped build many new houses but I’ve never built one for myself.  We do have plumbing and electrical in our house though, so this theory doesn’t apply exactly.

I guess we’re stalking the walk, learning the steps, and happy to help our clients do what we’d really like to do ourselves.  We certainly understand if, like us, you’re not quite prepared to make an investment in renewable energy.  If you are though, we commend you for making the investment and hope that it will please you for many years.

We’re always discussing solar energy over on our Inspiramental Facebook Page. Head there to join in.
