Yes, I had two visits from solar panel installation sales companies, and neither stayed for very long. <\/p>\n

And serve them right too. I hate these cold-calling canvassing companies. <\/p>\n

And there’s another one coming tomorrow as well. I can’t believe that I’m being snowed under with these blighters. They clearly don’t have anything better to do.<\/p>\n

But this morning started with me being up and about before the alarm, and that doesn’t happen very often. <\/p>\n

And after breakfast I had a mega-woodcutting session, so now the woodpile is looking quite impressive again, as it ought to be. I’ve heard it on the grapevine that winter is just lurking around the corner<\/p>\n

But in the bright sunlight of the early afternoon I fired up the huge SDS drill and carried on drilling the core hole through the stone wall into the lean-to, but I wasn’t there for long because as I went out, the sun went in and the clouds came out. <\/p>\n

That drill is 1200 watts, remember, and it needs plenty of sunlight for it to run continuously.<\/p>\n

\"export<\/a>This afternoon I prepared an order of product to be exported to Canada<\/p>\n

When I was there in September, you might recall that I had computer issues, and I met a guy who helped me repair it. He was telling me that he can’t easily find 230-volt electrical components in North America, but of course I can over here in Europe and so I’ve started a new role as supplier of his 230-volt products. <\/p>\n

That involved, this afternoon, screwing 108 transformers to 2 pieces of plywood (left over from my roof), making a sandwich of the lot and wrapping them in a cardboard box ready for shipping.
<\/p>\n

Yes, this new little venture can be quite exciting if it comes off.<\/p>\n
