Wednesday and Thursday were both hectic days trying to get this job back on track.

Somehow a bunch of seemingly insignificant issues all ganged up on us and multiplied causing serious delays, setbacks and just general frustration.
When things don’t go well, we don’t have the option to quit, let someone else do it or give up. So for two days we have been in the suck. 😄😄🙄
We were so busy I didn’t get many pictures and honestly right now-I’m not sure I even remember what the hell has been going on because I’m sleep deprived and it’s all a bit blurry.
We did finally get the nightmare array structure up.

And the panels all installed and wired up.

We got that wrapped up about sundown on Thursday.

When we opened the houses main panel, we discovered that nobody sealed the holes in the back of the panel where all the wiring comes through, nor did they use proper cable connectors.
As a result, moisture is building up in the panel from the crawl space, and rodents are having their way with it.

With the array all done, it was time to wrap up the inverter “room”-which is a crawl space under the house that is just big enough to stand up in.
Here’s what that cramped little area’s like.

We stayed up really late and got the inverter and most of the components installed and wired up.
We are getting a final inspection tomorrow, so the race will be on to wrap up the last details before the inspector gets here. 🙄
