Hi Beardy,

Cool! I thought I was in trouble.

> I'm not doing so well, but I'll get better soon.
I thought your Serzone was working well. What's up?
> Get to work on that house. The wife is counting on you.
Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the nudge forward. Candace (my wife) and I were married almost two years ago. It is a first time marriage for each of us and, since we are both older, we each had property. She had a townhouse and I had a duplex. We currently live in one half of the duplex, rent the other side out, and rent out the townhouse. Candace would rather just buy an already built house and, either sell the duplex and townhouse, or continue to use them as rental property. On the other hand, I want to have a passively solar heated house built that also has some electrical energy production capabilities (photovoltaic cells and wind generator).
Our current time line calls for us to find and purchase a lot (suitable to our solar design constraints) this summer, retain an architect by early fall, find a builder by late fall, break ground next spring, and move in sometime in the summer of 2003. I have a friend who is a general contractor.
I currently have several projects that I am supposed to be working on. With regard to the house project, I am taking two short courses (PV and wind electrical generation principles), looking at available lots, and researching solar house issues and products on the internet. When it comes to finances, the Lord has restored the years that the locusts ate away. And I am very thankful. I must be wise, I must work hard but, most of all, I want to love the Lord my God with all my heart and all my mind and all my soul, and to love my neighbors as myself.
Thanks for your friendship Beardy. Let me know what is holding you back (i.e. not doing well).
-- Ron
