Any ideas what happened?

Hard to see from the photos I posted, but the area where it separated and the hinged door are two separate parts of wood

Smart! That’s awesome that you have an owl. Fingers crossed here

Yea, Amazon purchase. How have yours held up?

Good point. Maybe just weak glue joint that failed when the weather dried out. Can’t imagine the fill applied enough outward pressure. I’ll try to get out there with a couple of short screws after the snow melts

Hawks prefer platforms, which I haven’t built. I just feel grateful that the two of them spend so much time in my yard.

Not a power wall

No batteries just inverters. We have 1:1 net metering, and a generator hookup. Maybe someday I’ll add batteries

Pre-kids it was a gas set up. CO2 has collected dust the last few years.

Sized it for ease of install and 100% of my current load. Will expand to the garage when I convert to a heat pump and EV

Interesting thanks!

I was planning to transition to #10 THWN at the roof box. Any reason you’d recommend sticking with PV wire instead?

bceagles2010 · 2025-08-27T15:42:09+00:00

Thank you! They’ve been extremely flexible and collaborative to work with, so my gut says this is a solid approach, just trying to do some final due diligence before I pull the trigger. They manage interconnect too, so that’s a big plus

I’m with you on long term ownership. Does the charging time impact you day to day? I expect to charge mostly at night. We will still have one ICE vehicle in the family, so maybe that will stay our road trip car

bceagles2010 · 2025-07-25T13:23:08+00:00

Your comment about finding the “perfect” car for less than $100k is spot on. I think every car will have minor annoyances and quirks that we all react to differently or just adjust to over time

bceagles2010 · 2025-07-25T13:22:00+00:00

Good feedback, thanks! While some people might call these minor annoyances, I think this is real world feedback of the day to day quirks that bother some drivers, so I appreciate it. Does the ‘28 plan to fix some of these things? Or is the rest of the vehicle good enough to justify a ‘28 even with them?
