Installing Our Energy Effecient Product {Wind Turbine from RPS}

Well, about a few days ago, Justin and I decided that we are going to install a wind generator unto our house! We've only had the house for 4 months now, but we believe that IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME.

Two days ago, Justin and I (only) moved a 20 ft tower up a 2 story house! It was TERRIFYING. Why? Cause I'm DEATHLY afraid of heights. I was able to get unto the first story, with not much difficulty... but because of the steepness of our roof, it was hard for me to get a good grip. Once I got to a safe spot on top of the first floor, reality hit. I am at least 10 feet above ground. I can feel my breaths getting shorter and my heart pounding faster. And what made it worse- I had to climb another 6 feet to get to the top of the 2nd floor. Justin kept saying that I could do it... but my palms started to get clammy and I can feel my body temperature decreasing. Ok, so you may think I'm exaggerating. NO. I am SO serious. It was THAT bad. Justin was already on the top. Aggravated, he started holding out his hand and giving me pointers.... I started crying. Yes, I started, crying. I was extremely scared!!!!!!! So how did I psyched myself into doing it? How about the fact that there's a 20 feet pole that's halfway up, the sun is setting (15 min of daylight left), and it's COLD. Well, the desire of getting it done was a lot stronger than taking it down, and doing it all over again later. So... I grabbed my husband's hand and he pulled me up. PHEW! I did it!

He hopped up and ran up the side of the roof adjacent to the one I was on... like it was nothing. I am very jealous of how fearless my husband is. Anyway, he grabbed the top of the pole and pulled it up, while I was holding the middle and then, the end. I then directed the end of the pole into the hole that my husband had drilled into the edge of our roof. There was a little trouble, but in the end, it was complete!! The pole is up!

 

Today, Justin carried the body of the wind turbine up! Then he connected blades to it! And then the cover. Honestly, it is much harder than it looks! This unit will be powering our home office! Whoop-whoop!
