Took a ride into Amish country, to go to a lumber/construction/hardware store. On the way, saw more than a few homes with solar panels.

And now I know about Bubinga trees!
mimi
No photos of the solar panels. The Bubinga tree had to be 5' in diameter. The notes are important historical dates. Photo 4 shows some of the exotic woods that are for sale. And 5 is part of a pile of logs at a lumber yard.

What a lovely day! What will you do with your lumber/hardware?
mimi
Indikon : We need to replace our front porch so were looking at metal railings. No decisions yet but we were able to bring home some color samples so we could see what might work best.

How cool! I love the colours of the exotic woods.
mimi
heylisa : They are such fun to see. Also big slabs of wood and stumps that could be legs for a glass table.
Indikon
A nice place to do your shopping!

Oh my goodness!! That tree!! (heart)(heart)(heart)

My sweetie had a HUGE assortment/ collection of exotic woods that he used for woodworking. He made some amazing pieces. After he passed away, I gave the wood to my sweet neighbor at the platte city neighborhood. Neighbor Bruce was/is a master wood crafter.

Is that an Amish lumber company? What design is the metal railing going to be?
Godtess
The local Amish community here also has many solar panels.

CajunSheryl : I'm intrigued. What do their beliefs allow them to use solar for?
mimi
Fly Fisher : Oh, hugs. Words can't express how important those memories are.
mimi
Swamp Daddy : They use normal vendors.

Godtess : Do you know anything about how they use the solar electricity?
CajunSheryl
mimi : According to this article, the Amish do not have an aversion to electricity per se, they more object to being tied to the grid and connected to outside. And they recognize that solar is much safer than their traditional lighting methods that can easily cause fires.
