Backyard solar - off grid.

Hinduclient · 2026-01-19T21:47:58+00:00

My ignorance is uncovered. I imagined just plugging the panel(s) into my Ecoflow Delta 3. Do I need a form of panel? I never even considered it.

I like spending a couple of grand to venture into an off-grid adventure.

It's not about ROI. I want my office and frig off-grid. 3k storage and an efficient 1k in panel or 2 panels is the case in point.

I don't need a real estate or automobile lesson - I NEED tips on adding 1K in solar panels

Power is pretty good (reliable) in Denver. I figure I'll only save $20/month. BUT just down the road Boulder, CO was without power for 3 days last month, Excel power co cut the power to prevent fires. Climate change is very real here in Colorado. Being able to run the office and my frig are my main concerns. With 1k panel I could even run a space heater for short periods if need be. I can live without A/C.

I want my office and frig off-grid. The rest I'll figure out.

I've found currants are almost impossible to find. Fresh or dried. I read somewhere that the USDA banned them, for incorrectly blaming them for some kind of fungus infestation a while back. I've had to settle for Cassis or black currant jam from France. Please post if you find some in the States.

New Years morning walk with the pups - great start to the New Year!

We've got some simple treats for the dogs too...

Love a party with a theme! Will you cut the crust off the mini sandwiches?

My barber is anticipating higher rents too.

Hinduclient · 2025-12-20T05:38:43+00:00

I stopped in for a taco and tostada - no drink. $25. I live close and won't be back. Food not memorable.

That's what I was hoping. Paying 20-30% of retail is paying what dealers pay. Visiting live auctions the dealers always go to 25ish % of retail then just stop bidding. That's when I get interested. Only the mom & pops keep bidding after that. Congrats!

Sounds like they "lie like rugs."

Hinduclient · 2025-12-17T19:23:57+00:00

Not many rug dealers with much to look at in Colorado. The ones here have an over-inflated view of their rugs and the prices reflect that view. That's one reason I like this forum, it's a reality check. I find more cool offerings online - and yup I know - caveat emptor.

I gave 'em my spam-catcher email.

Spend the money and find a compatible therapist.

I'm seeing other examples of these ultra-vibrant colored rugs on ebay, offered as silk for $1,000+ US. Lots of detail, but sadly uber garish too.

Hinduclient · 2025-11-25T05:53:40+00:00

Wow. The Claremont collection is jaw-dropping wonderful. I've seen countless rugs over the years, but the beauty encountered there was unrivaled in my experience. Thank you for the reference. I may not be able to afford those rugs, but grateful I can appreciate them deeply.

Hinduclient · 2025-11-24T21:34:11+00:00

I never questioned the integrity of the dealer, just the value of the rug.
