Power from the Sun!

Posted on December 22, 2015 by Jim Mellema

We (RVers) all dream of unlimited power. Power to boondock anywhere, to live far from the nearest extension cord.

Simple Ways To Simplify Christmas

Posted on December 18, 2015January 4, 2016 by Carol

Fireplace Wiring Repair

Posted on December 15, 2015December 15, 2015 by Jim Mellema

A lot of people are scared to death of electricity. Glad I’m not one. Our motorhome has a dozen 115v AC breakers in the main power center, 40 or 50 12 volt fuses in 2 different fuse panels, plus various other relays, switches, controls, etc. And maybe 2000 feet of wire. And all this stuff…

Posted on December 10, 2015December 11, 2015 by Jim Mellema

Eleven years ago, My lil Brian announced “I wanna join Cub Scouts.” Our 2 older boys had both been in scouting, it’s a quality organization, we signed him right up. Brian liked Cub Scouts, and before long, he was announcing to anyone who would listen “When I get big, I am going to be an…

Tech Tuesday, Bedroom Storage!

Posted on December 8, 2015 by Jim Mellema

As we were getting ready to go full time, we took a long hard look at our inside storage. We had lots of raw room, we just needed to configure it to work for us. The first thing was files. Try as we did to eliminate paper, we still had some. We needed someplace where…
