While we are on the subject of solar power, my current research is into 
home built solar hot water heater.  I am leaning toward a fined tube 
design using PEX for the tubes and barn tin for the fins.

I am not sure I will get to it before fall as I have two major projects 
going at this time.  I bought a radio tower this spring and hope to get 
it up and antennas mounted before fall.  I am building the rotator 
bracket now adn hope to make arrangements to have a 36X48X48 hole dug.  
Building forms, designing tilt base, setting rebar, pouring concrete, 
then I get to set up the tower.

Another project is the backup generator.  I need to get the generator 
cleaned, tested, pad poured, and transfer switch hooked up before fall.
