# porter !!! WE HAVE POWER! What a team effort, it’s so emotional to have everyone here the day the lights turned ON 🥹 Anyone else notice how invested Jazmyn is in this whole process? Shes really got into it all and got her hands “dirty”. She’s passionate about the electrical and it makes me so happy to see her nerding out and understanding how it works. All of you alongside us have been watching this come together step by step for a full year. This week is a huge milestone at the cabin… thank you all for being here with us and to everyone who made this happen 💛!

I didn't think I would tear up over batteries, wires, inverters and solar panels. But what got me was the smiles on all of your faces when you turned on the lights in the cabin. A long journey and it was great that Porter was there for turning on the lights. Congrats!

Literally crying happy years for you two ✨ I'm living off grid with no reliable source of electricity rn (not even a jackery or something) so I know how difficult it is.

I'm tearing up over here! Power! All the power to yah, to the people helping you and to Porter especially! He IS a gem! You worked so hard, and you finally can see the reward. Wohooo! Bless you guys!
