DH won't let me get solar panels. I originally wanted them so I could heat the pool but last year my neighbor cut down his trees and now my pool is a lot warmer. I still wouldn't mind being able to heat the pool in the fall so I could swim longer.@Souzie One of my sis in-laws loves to wash dishes by hand too. She says she loves the feel of the water running on her hands. Unfortunately, my brother won't let her waste water because he is a conservationist, so they always use their dishwasher.
@whateve and my brother would get along very well. My brother also loves everything technological that makes life easier.
He is the one who convinced me to get solar panels put on my roof LOL.
