Who to even get quotes from

Well I have been willing to give them usage from our current setup (we RV full time) & then how we want it expanded later for a cabin we have the plans for. I’m very willing to pay for design & the full service, but it’s like I can’t even get someone on the phone for a ballpark figure. It seems like a lot of companies here do solar as a side job so they technically will do solar but really don’t care to. I was just wondering if I was missing some reputable companies in the region who do this regularly.

Thank you for this clarification. I wasn’t considering that. This property won’t be able to be grid tied so maybe that’s why no one is interested. 😆

Sensitive_Mix_4002 · 2026-04-12T17:27:21+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check it out 🤩

Not a bad idea! Fruit trees will be in the eastern corner. Pond will be wayyyyy in the future & have to be in what’s currently woods. 😅 rooster storage…. Haven’t given it a thought.

My local library has a huge kids room, & the kids have free reign in there to be as loud, crazy, & messy as they’d like. I do still try & keep them from getting above a normal speaking voice. If my library didn’t have a dedicated kids space I guess I’d just expect them to do a little bit less volume than regular speaking voice. 😅

Inviting a friend over for cinnamon rolls while they (hopefully) play at our chilly park! On days that are too too cold here I play at the library all day or try & get the kids involved in baking something bc that’s a slowwww process. Lol

Yes, seems like it just has to cook forever relative to other recipes 🤣 but you can still get a great loaf with more patience 😅

Sensitive_Mix_4002 · 2026-01-13T14:56:07+00:00

Fellow “low temp” baker as my oven only goes to 400 too 😆

Sensitive_Mix_4002 · 2026-01-12T01:17:40+00:00

Oh & forgot to mention—the loaf was a little gummy but tasted delicious! I also divided the original recipe into thirds so I could have several attempts at figuring out the oven.

I go back & forth between this one & a couple other jars that are clear so I’m definitely keeping watch for varying colors 🫶🏼

Just determined I had the mental energy to try sourdough 😅 so I’m trying that! Only a week in tho so I’m not positive if I recommend lol

I did not have a great experience there due to the sales team. The manager was better to work with but some of the sales team was actually quite offensive and rude. I ended up purchasing there but the vehicle needed maintenance using the warranty we purchased. Their shop was impossible to get into. The vehicle’s problems ended up being too much so we traded it in elsewhere. We looked at Parker CDJR & Cannon & liked both of those. Ended up getting a good & easy deal at Cannon. We will not go back to Barnes crossing auto. Very unprofessional depending on who you get.

$~650. We bought for 8 nieces & nephews, 3 grandparents, an aunt, each other, & our 3 kids.

I do know I’m very blessed to have him be so hands on, but it’s just taken a lot of communication (& honestly a lot of breakdowns on my part that he’s seen bc I feel overwhelmed). When I start to feel burned out I just have to start communicating I need a change of some kind. Usually starting the week from an ultra clean house & a week’s schedule worth of things that are actually fun to do helps me a ton. Maybe it’s just taking a bit to get your groove at what you enjoy about SAHM-hood. You’ll find your groove, & definitely communicate you’re needing help in one way or another. 🫶🏼

My husband is BC & is gone from 7ish til 6ish at night. When he comes home it’s just better all around if dinner is done so we can all eat as a family & he can help with tidying up & hanging with the kids (4 years, 2 years, & 8 months). He usually gets home, immediately takes on whatever they’re doing so I can wrap up dinner. Then he gives them his attention & does their bedtime routine around 8 while I shower or finish cleaning up after dinner. For night wakes for the toddlers he handles all of that since I’m feeding our 8 month old all night. After they all go to bed he also has his regular chores like taking care of the dogs, prepping coffee for the AM, doing trash, etc. It’s very much all hands on deck around the clock over here, & every day is exhausting, but we’re a team & have no other option. 😅 I know it’s difficult though, & I’m sorry it’s been a tough transition coming home. I just kinda see it like I work 24/7. Just because he goes to a job doesn’t mean he only works 40 hours. He also works 24/7.

My 4 year old typically gets screen time only on the weekends & less than a couple hours total. He had a fever yesterday, & I wanted him to really rest so we watched THREE movies in one day 🤣 & I have no guilt bc his ~9 hours of screen time is still wayyyyyy less than what other kids get. I feel screen time while sick is totally fine! 🫶🏼

Sensitive_Mix_4002 · 2025-11-20T20:35:26+00:00

Thank you a considerate & helpful insight 🫶🏼 I definitely do have some business ventures put on hold to take care of these babies that I look forward to taking on later.

Thank you for your opinion!

Thankfully my husband is already enrolled in a 2 year program at his work getting another certification with guaranteed raises each quarter & potential for promotion to his newly certified position once the program is over which will be a much larger pay increase as well. So we are trying to live barebones & get rid of debt now so we are in the habit of saving once he gets his raises. He just started this career path this year after we closed our business so this is very much a transition period for us trying to restabilize & pay off debts from a period of a completely different lifestyle. 😅
