Other things on the way!
Over the last two years have been ordering a whole bunch of stuff on kickstarter/indiegogo. Now that we finally have space, I can't wait to start using.
Home Biogas - I backed their kickstarter a while ago but had no place to put it, until now :) We throw away so much food in my house it makes be a little upset, but I think that is the nature of having little kids. That is the main reason why I purchased this. Although it is fall and the temperature is starting to get colder, I think I might assemble now and just start putting waste in there to see what happens. I need to find a good biogas BBQ pit to supplement my propane one.
Solar Gaps - Hopefully I will get these sometime soon. The back of my house faces mostly south and in the summer we get a punishing amount of sun (see blackout curtains). It would be nice to start converting some of that. I have not received yet, but I am looking forward to when I get them.
Mistbox - I received word a couple weeks ago that they were not going to make delivery this year, which is probably fine since the AC doesn't run very much anymore.
