    Good solar panels. (2)600 watt panels is wonderful. Later just get two more of those. And all you need now is a control panel ($120) and solar batteries (store the electric for overnight use). Find a lithium battery sponsor. Tell you them it for 2000(+) watts. You get the lithium's batteries and you are all set. You will have free electricity to run your entire house 24hours a day. Otherwise the current panels will run your AC nonstop during the day. At night the powerbank will last for 2-3hrs. You must convert BTU to watts. That let you how may watts you use per hour. So... if your ac is 8000 BTU. It uses 800 watts per hour (8000 / 100). Your two panels equal 1200 watts per hour (during the day). At night your powerbank is 2000 watts. So it will run the ac for 2 1/2 hours. So overnight I guess you will use the gas generator.

    Hey simply me & the wife live close by & love watching you & your husband journey & we know the struggles of living in beautiful hot Arizona just a friendly heads up when you do your solar system look into signature solar you can get your full system & set it up yourself & they have eg4 mini split systems that are pre charged so you can set up your own mini split system as & these systems are made to run solar panels directly to your mini split by passing your inverter so your whole house system isnt bogged down just running your ac until & they run on very low watts

      Will painting the barrels black heat the water up, due to the fact that the color black holds heat. Is that how it prevents algae from forming ?

    I had one of those AC units years ago. I used it to try n' cool down a 1.5 bedroom duplex. I was lucky if it cooled down just the livingroom on the hottest days of the year in Los Angeles (100-105).
    Tips:
    A. Make sure the hose is attached securely because you'll get hot air from there sometimes, I used some wide tape.
    2. If you insulate the exhaust hose with a sleave it will also make a noticeable difference.
    Keep on keepin' on ✌️

    Simona. When I lived with my dad out in the wilderness, we found a church with a well and they let us get water in barrels. We would put the barrels on the truck upright. The church had a hose. So if you can find a church and they don’t have a hose just make sure you get one.
    But I just thought I’d share.

    Hi you two 🤗,
    CONGRATULATIONS ! 🥳🥳🥳 You all are making some MAJOR improvements. So HAPPY for you all... The tent with the AC under it is a GREAT IDEA! I love those portable AC's I have one for every room in my house. Did yours come with a window kit to vent the hot air & moisture out. 1 of mine has one vent w/ the big plastic coil & the others have 2 vents w/ big plastic coils. The AC has to be vented with the hose or hoses in the window in order to get the full benefit of all that WONDERFUL COLD AIR🌬❄
    OOOHH GURLLL, that BREAKFAST had me DROOLING 🤤🤤🤤 ! Everything was PREPARED to PERFECTION! Your husband is a real JEWEL, a man that can COOK like that !!! Maybe... you all could do a franchise food truck in The Boogie Down some day😏😜
