Ugh. Dead generator battery this morning...
No COFFEE!
But...DH got it going in under a half hour.
He's my hero. When we are up here at our cabin, we are so far back in the woods, they told us it would cost $140,000 to run electric back here. Uuuummmmm.......no.
So we operate by generator. A very GOOD gen. we invested in, but still..... When the wind chill is -15, sometimes we have problems. Poor DH was out there in this cold at 9 am. I worked on getting the woodstove going while he was out there.
Ahhh....now we're having coffee by the fire. And we don't have to go back to Ohio.______

Yes, he's very handy. He can make or fix almost anything. Self-taught.

Sounds to me like you got the best lifestyle, Can you build a wind turbine connected to an alternator to keep a spare battery charged Originally Posted by cab54

Seems like you have everything under control any way. Wouldn't take much. I have in the past looked online and it wasn't that hard but since I live in the city, they won't allow it here. Great life you have and Merry Christmas.
