Here is a few more pics from Dougs cabin before I went to Minnesota August 30th. Other than a coat of finish on the tongue and grove floor the atrium is now finished. The floor in front of the entry door is painted, the wood stove is installed and now plants populate the new elevated floor.
The battery bank has also been filled out. For most of the summer we were working off of 15 large deep cycle batteries. Along with running a fridge/freezer all of the time we are also powering satellite T.V., satellite Internet, our computers, battery chargers and lights. With that
load the batteries were getting worked really hard. Now the battery bank is filled out, totaling 20 batteries. We have also wired in a generator line from the shed to the bathroom for the on-demand water heater.
I'd like to follow up on my electrical system at the lake cabin. With the sun we are getting right now and running my gas generator an hour a day to power a 10amp charger, I am able to watch a 2 hour movie with a 19 inch LCD and a DVD player and also run my lights, fan and radio every day. When the sun gets a little lower in the sky I will have to run my generator more to charge the 3 deep cycle batteries but it's fairly fuel efficient so hopefully I won't go through too much fuel.
