    Opinons on Solar Power

    Almost there- Haha thank you for the break down! And yeah I'll check out Craigslist for a fridge. It makes a bit of Sence I guess and I definitely am a part timer. I'm going to live in my van for a few years maybe 5 and travel a ton and make art and tan naked in the middle of the woods and...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    Almost there- all that was so unbelievably helpful I can't even explain. Thank you so so much. It's exactly the info I was looking for. I was already planning on getting an inverter. I didn't even know there was another option for charging my stuff. Aren't most the coolers and things able to be...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    My main problem with them is that they are ugly. Fridges are quite pretty. They come in shinny smooth stainless steel. Coolers look like I spent the whole day fishing and needed somewhere to put my dead things. I guess this could be remedied by hiding it in a cabinet. But i just really didn't...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    See I'm a bit of a minimalist and I feel like everything I do I get talked into 10 other things. And i do need my Mac. It's how I manage all my photography stuff. There's no point in having a professional camera if you don't have a computer. And I mean I'm no photographer but I dabble and I use...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    I understand that its a cooler, but I think with the general look of it refering to it as a refrigerator would be accurate. like I said as a vegan I don't need to keep anything super cold, so I thought it was an option. And I read the reviews, some were really positive and some weren't. I...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    Mostly hanging out on like Bml land, but some cities too. I will be spending most my time near beautiful places, and my van will be parked quite a bit because I like to ride my bike places a lot and I love hiking. Also I'll be working on my art, and traveling slowly because I don't like to rush...

    Opinons on Solar Power

    I have a fairly decent understanding of how to set up a solar system and the costs of it and all that jazz, but what I'm wondering is about whether or not solar is worth it. Ive had people tell me and have read its a total waste of money, and then I've read post with people saying its the best...

    Thank you! Here's a picture after today's work. I just had a neighbor come up and talk to me about painting a mural in her granddaughters room. It's might not be stealthy but it's really good advertisement!
