Squirrel Power!
Micro-Hydro Power with a squirrel cage from an old furnace and other stuff scrapped from the island (see March 11, 2007 post)
About Us
- Megan F.(formerly B). and Jonathan
- Southeast, Alaska, United States
- Oh, big news. Jonathan and I moved into the cabin on a stream by the ocean. We moved in on our first wedding aniversary and his daughter Soiyor came to live with us too! We've been working on this cabin for a long time (see early entries in this blog). We are living in the cabin but still kind-of roughing it. There isn't any hot water yet, and electricity is sporadic. We can't really drive up to the house yet because of the mud and ruts in the road, but we have been using a four wheeler to get laundry, groceries, and school books in and out. Jonathan had to pioneer into the lot because there was no road access. The trees that were fallen were milled into framing lumber with a sawmill a friend loaned to us. We don't have grid power down there so most cuts are done with a chainsaw. If we have to, we run a generator but now we have an operating micro-hydro system. We are doing all of this while I work for the school and as the harbormaster and as a deckhand on a ferry and Jonathan runs his plumbing business and works for the school district.

No, you're not jumping the gun! Perfect timing, I'd say. Just keep them warm...but you know that.
We're enjoying your blog, Megan, and can't wait to see you and meet Jonathan in June.
Great wall, by the way. Congratulations.
Did you hear that Willie has been working with a stone mason out of Rockport for the past year+a half? I kid him about talking to the rocks. Actually, he's got a knack for cutting granite. Good skill to have; and the man he works for is teaching him the engineering end.
Today, Danny and I bought some pansies and cut some pussy willows. I think I'll fill the planters at the front steps. Next week, Easter!
Take care, kiddo, and God bless.
Meg, you would make Dad very proud! The wall is beautiful. careful with your back! Muff
