No wood lmao
At least she has city water lol.
I had to remind my kid you can flush the toilets by pouring water into the bowl lmao. Their generator isn’t back feeding the panel so no power to the well

I edited my post, I guess you can use kerosene in the house. I'd want a monoxide alarm using that though. Up on the hill my MIL would melt snow on the woodstove for baths and flushing the toilet.

I grew up in the Santa cruz mountains. We had a kersosine heater going all the time. It seemed like power went out all the time back then during the winter.
Single mom. We had a fireplace that was converted to a fake ass gas fireplace.

we didn’t die so i think it still works lol

I was only at like 2200ft in paradise. Kinda still considered lower paradise.
It only fucking snowed twice where i was at while i lived there. 2011-2018.
It fucking snowed every god damn winter at that same elevation everytime i’d go up there before. I lived about one block from where my mom lived for 15 yrs. It would snow on christmas every year back then

Pex'd it and it comes from the stream a bunch of feet away (easy 60') I had no idea it still had water to it. The cistern wasn't used as long as we've been here. House has had a real well since at least '89.

I've seen pics from the MIL's house from years ago where they had to tunnel out of the house to get out. It was up to roof level. I think the lake holds a lot of heat and keeps it warmer now, plus that global warming thingy.

Our solar well on the farm will always work (as long as they brush the snow off the solar panels). we have 5,000gl of water storage tanks up on the hill and the farm is gravity fed so we are ok even if the pump don't run for a while. we don't need external power source to make water. Although the well ran low 2 years ago and we had to have water delivered, at $250 for 5,000gl. but it's a long bumpy road out to the farm so i don't blame them for the price, they drove up there & pumped it right into the tank.

Absolutely nothing to do with climate change.

hey. I just spent christmas with a bunch of “believers” born again lames.
I tried. And i tried to understand the way they can still say that climate change isn’t man made. I love talking politics to them. My favorite is what party do you think jesus would back if he was alive today. But dems kill babies. My dad is the worst! Almost all his kids lost their homes to a fire and he’s still fighting it. Crazy.

Oh my fucking god it’s like talking to people who think santa clause is real.

Nice bro!
I got 24 panels now. I can pull 2000 watts from it during the day if the grid goes down. Kinda lame but i’ll be damned if i buy a battery back up right now. Def gonna wait on that.

Raised catholic to senior high school. My mom let me smoke weed. Grow it in her house. Tripped on lsd with her the first time my freshman year but we HAD to go to church and ccd, etc. my grandpa was a very devout carholic. And then every fucking summer i spent down south with my crazy part of the family. A whole nother level of crazy.
