No microwave? What are you a fvckin' commie?
:roflmao: I don't do microwaves, flouride in water, immunizations, my walls are lined with tin foil, and I can see Santa Cruz from Morro Bay because the earth is flat BRO!!!

In all seriousness the last place I lived had a microwave. I mostly used it to warm up plates. Now I set the plate on the burner when I'm done for a few seconds. Especially crucial for eggs :cookin: :computer:
Never had a microwave. :shrug:

Our house is the same size as yours but our bill is alot more than yours. Jacuzzi, heater, teen showers/baths (! :foreheadslap:), etc....

And what's this about you having a jacuzzi :cussing: You're telling me now? :cussing: I'll be right over :computer:

Yes, but you can see how people who have a lot of usage and who might believe that the inflation rate for grid energy is going to vastly outpace the rate of consumer inflation would be using a different equation to pencil out their feasibility.

We've had solar installs for pools and hot water heaters in this region for 40 years, so there is a demonstrated history for what happens to rooftop solar systems that don't get repaired or maintained and there is a demonstrated history for what the resale value is the older solar systems, both in operating and non-operating condition. I'm sure the newer PV systems will establish their own value patterns but the consumer behaviors with respect to repairs and maintenance and replacements may be similar to how people have historically behaved with home repairs.
If you depended on a water well for your water (we do) you'd have to maintain that too. Those are my main two jobs. Making sure there's water and power. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. Spare parts enough to patch up anything anytime. We are the exception as we don't have any other backup other than what I can come up with.

Hey rice - you don't make microwave popcorn for your kids when they watch tv? You're a fvckin' commie too. :rock:

Yeah. No gas to our house. Hardly ever need the heater.

When the kids were little we had a 12v tv that got one fuzzy station from Lazaro. The one with the telenovelas. My wife used to make popcorn on a campfire.

It's been pretty cold the last few nights, usually fire it up around 8 or so. I'll bundle up first- when I contemplate putting gloves on inside the house is when I finally break down and turn it on :roflmao:
