    Got my right knee Feb 27. Pretty much do what I want to now. Yeah, still sore. Take all the therapy you can because it really helps. I walked a couple hours after the surgery. A high commode really helps with hand holds on the wall. Trim your toenails good before surgery. Heck to reach afterward. When you forget where you left the walker and the cane you are thru with them. A bed you can slide out of and stand realky helps. My new one feels much better than the other old one but it's not bone on bone but it is covered in arthritis. Shots for now. I wanted it done. 3 and a half months out now. I'd wait 4 months before another. With the time lag on the vids you are probably ready for the second one now

    In Canada, very few home owners use this sytem despite having zillions of trees handy. reason being, it's so freakin' cold, nobody wants to go outside on a regular basis to stoke the boiler...especially when you are sick or when you get a little too old and decrepit like me to do so. I tossed my boiler and now use natural gas...ahhhh!!!

    As mentioned having the container leveled and only supported at each corner as it’s designed to be supported will make opening and closing the doors very easy. The opening of the container will literally rack and that’s when the opening and closing of the doors becomes difficult.

    I has a 52" wind turbine(Missouri wind and solar). So cool to play with. Had it up around 33 ft. high. I didnt really produce much though. Its possible one of my connections came loose. Had to move and sold if before i could verify that. Yes solar beat it hands down. Mount yours much higher so it has a chance is my advice. GOD bless!

    I bought a solar set up for my pond pump from them. I agree getting it up higher would work well. I am impressed with how often it is spinning where it's at.
