Sorry that DD is sick. Great mods that should really help your system to operate better. Thanks for sharing with us B!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Sorry to hear that you guys got Colvin going on that's one thing I don't want to get I've only got two of those shots things didn't get anymore because a friend of mine got the third one and just both died from it something wrong with his lungs so I said the heck with it no more of that bad enough I couldn't use my arm for two weeks

[@maryalice8507]

Sorry to hear you caught the rona Diana. I hope you get plenty of rest and have a speedy recovery. Nice you see you all home on your island. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Thank you Mary. Hope you have a great week today

[@xzibit8614]

I’d put the batteries on top of some sort of foam or insulation pad, so during the winter it doesn’t thermally conduct the coldness from the floor.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

That’s a good idea.

[@suewalters9822]

Excellent move with the solar!! Now you can cross that off your list of things to worry about come winter! You both are looking good, I hope you both are feeling good. Have a great week and stay safe!!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yeah that was one I was a little nervous about.

[@juliepeeks4184]

Sorry to hear that you got Cov., I had it last week, what a mess., feeling better now, then hubby got it later. Hope you feel better soon, thanks for supporting Brian, hubby calls it morale support! Stay safe.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Glad you are feeling better now.

[@clark7117]

I suppose your inverter has finally decided to invert its career path and become an exverter!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

😂😂😂

[@martna1]

Glad you guys are okay. Hope the surgery went well.

[@garylcampbell9964]

Nice to watch a video again . We have been busy for a couple of weeks at our cottage.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Hopefully it was productive and relaxing.

[@ernesthallett8003]

[@wncmartin]

[@debbiemiller7342]

Hope you both get better soon ❤❤❤❤❤❤🍵🥣🫕🍜🫕plenty of soup and hugs 🤗

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou Brian and Dianna , 😊

[@martna1]

Glad you are protecting your batteries.

[@StarBase7390]

Brian I know it’s a pain but you may want to consider moving your battery cables to on top of the batteries rather than hanging out the side for something to catch on them or become a trip hazard. You know safety first. Can’t afford to let any of that energy out uncontrolled or stumble and fall. It could be a very bad day. Enjoy watching. Live Free!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I agree👍

[@northidahodreaming5657]

Love to hear you say it "Live Free"!

[@chuckhorner3758]

Good job, Bro

[@charlenegrady8781]

Hello Brian and Diana👋. Good to see you today. Will be nice to have your solar set up in the cabin. Easier to keep an eye on it when winter comes. Good job Brian. You got any fishing trips planned?🎣. We have been busy here on Cape Cod with gardening and fishing. The season is so short you got to do it while you can. Thank you both for sharing today. Have a blessed Sunday and week. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Thanks Charlene

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Excellent video as always and it's always good to see you guys take care and be safe

[@Kevin_D1]

I know that feeling when your connecting your batteries together. I get it everytime I mess with my solar system My charge controller took a crap on me and it was less than two years old.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I blame the squirrel that was storing pine cones in and around it last year.

[@russellwatters5891]

Happy to see ya'll are back in the swing of things. The skiff was given a second lease on life, another day or two of rain.. 😂😅 Im glad ya'll are getting the solar setup moved inside, no reason to have any interruption of power this winter. Love ya'll ❤️

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

The inverter I’m replacing is on back order everywhere. I just ordered a different brand, we will see how this one works.

[@JohnMedders]

Have missed your post the last couple of week. My family just getting over Covid! It SUCKs

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yeah it does.

[@MountainMariner]

The capacitors in the inverter are best energized slowly, with a resistor. Once energized you won’t have a lightning bolt arc which can damage “stuff.” Also when you disconnect the inverter the capacitors will hold energy for many minutes so care needs to be taken not to short the positive to negative. Will Prowse has a video on this.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yes sir

[@pjotrhof2505]

Great job

[@michelerucker3755]

Oh I love your new haircut, it’s looks really nice on you❤️😇👵

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Thank you

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Great work on solar move !! Except the problem with inverter that got zapped.....,

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It went bad while we were away. Not sure what happened.

[@cedricgates9976]

wow glad you know what yer doing sure is beyond me, suprised you dont have skirting around the bottom of the cabin

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It yet.

[@stanpersful4723]

Hope the vid isn't too bad for yall!

[@outsideinalaskahawaii5987]

Not sure why so jumpy with the electricity. One boo-boo and you had a insta-perm commercial. Money in the bank dude! Best wishes with the vid. Hoping it’s mild.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

😂 for real

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

It takes a lot to sink it tin boat with flotation in the seats trust me I know one time I was pulling the kids on a tube in my little 12 foot fiberglass boat with a 15 horse on it turn the corner let the rope get slack and then when it went tight the tube pulled the boat underneath the water yelled at the kids to get off the tube opened the throttle all my fishing gear and a $600 fish finder we're sitting in the boat floating barely made it to shore at the lake it sure was glad I didn't lose everything don't think I'd do that again And my fiberglass boat had no flotation in it anymore because I cut the original seat so put just a board across the middle and underneath the front I cut a hole out restorage underneath the front seat

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I’m glad you didn’t lose any gear 😂

[@nanukbigwithe]

👍👍

[@weldnallday]

What is the model of your beautiful boat!?

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

It’s a Stabicraft 2500 xl
