NEMY FAMILY COTTAGE. BAYFIELD INLET, GEORGIAN BAY, ONTARIO, CANADA. PROGRESS AND A LITTLE PERFECTION
Cottage life progress report.
We have power.
Our great electricians have powered up our solar system. Mind you today we have just one light and one outlet, it won't be long now that they will start the wiring of the cottage.
Graziotto Electric.
Pleasure to have them here.
Great guys!!!
Livin' off the grid.
They say it will pay for itself in six to seven lifetimes!
Four times six volts each.
Go figure.
Our 24volts will mostly be inverted to 120v through out the cottage. Depending on what draws when, will be able to plug in most anything that one finds in a on the grid home.
Heavy to LED lights with dimmers.
Our refrigerator is designed for off the grid and will run on 24Volts.
Electrical inspector.
Counter tops.
Bed ply.
Logs.
Trial bed placement.
Ridin' high so I can lay low.
Panoramic views?
Check.
Lots more of this soon.

Holes common between the two bedrooms.
After a little touch up, this is scheduled to hang in our sitting area.
Will act as a big lampshade. Planning on sticking light bulbs in our old Coleman lanterns and hang them within the inverted canoe.

Nestled a cook top in what's salvaged from the prized award winning Tim Horton's BBQ.
Kate rolled up the rim.
Next thing you know she's was burnin'some burgers!
Just waiting for propane hook-up before we start closing the holes.
Test chicken.
