Marilyn Flint's Comments

I would love to help with the still project and business plan! I have made my own small scale still in the past out of pressure cookers and copper tubing fairly easily. I might even be able to get some of the welding done at my work.

Hey Marilyn- glad you got on the site! I have been thinking about your potential garden down there- I think we'll have fun getting that going. I wish I had a better answer for you as far as getting permission to put up a large multi-family windmill. If you are still not getting any answers let me know and we can put it out there and see if someone else knows more.

I know for me, before I look for energy to power what I need- I have to really figure out what I really need and what I don't! We have gradually been making our home more efficient and adding window covers, turning off heat in the rooms that we are not in. I put fabric up between rooms to just heat the one we are in. Next is an 'on demand' water heater to replace our regular tank style one- I think that will make a big difference. I'm working on my 13 year old son to turn off lights when he leaves a room but that is an ongoing challenge!

I want to contact Chris Muench and also Andy Day and Connie, so let me know when you find out which Sunday works best for our potluck.

Again- I'm so glad you came to the event the other day. I feel like I have one more good neighbor!
