On our way to the grocery store.
A blog of our progress as we build a shipping container house for a home on our peaceful Texas Hill Country farm and vineyard. Our plan is to exist off the grid using a solar panels power station, wind turbines, batteries, inverters, and the like for our electricity. We have rain gutters and barrels in place for most of our water needs along with a large pond that stayed full even throughout the recent Texas droughts. We invite you to grab a big ole cup of coffee and follow along in the fun!

Thunderstorms, Hughes Net, Netflix & YouTube in a Container Home
Rainy days mean spending time inside hoping that the internet works so we can have Caillou on Netflix! I could really use some Caillou DVDs. We have watched all the kid friendly DVDs we have out here. I keep forgetting to update the DVD library because I have high expectations of our Hughes net service. BTW, Hughes net is pretty bad. The only time it works we'll is early in the morning. I have to say that even when the internet is slow, and we blame Hughes net for Netflix's speed, YouTube works pretty darn fast! So, we have determined that Netflix prolly has a speed problem of its own, but YouTube rocks most of the time!
