Day 49

Dec. 24, 2017
Woke up at 8am
I tried to get an early start today but there was no use. My body just would not cooperate. I spent the majority of my time getting all of the things together for solar power. I was able to get everything I needed, with the exception of a mad dash to Home Depot before they closed at 5pm. But once I got all the parts I needed, I went straight to work and hooked everything up as much as possible. I started out with just trying to use the little 400W inverter that I had from the car, but it was not powerful enough to run the fridge. So, I went ahead and plugged in the 1000W inverter and made sure everything was connected properly. Now I can officially say that I have power on my site. This definitely is a game changer, because I no longer need to go out and sit in the car while I get everything charged. Not the phone, not the batteries. I am no longer tied to the van. Not to mention, I also have an exorbitant amount of options for food now that I have a working fridge. I finished off my evening with a trip to the grocery store to make good use of the fridge straight away. This guy is definitely having tacos for dinner tonight! Merry Christmas Eve to me!
