Well, more as it happens. But for now, the roof clips for mounting the solar array are slightly visible in the above photo. And the in-attic wiring was completed early on, to avoid having them tread through the attic insulation that was added afterwards.

The rear side of the house (pictured) faces exactly due South, for maximum solar gain. Having it about 5 degrees to the East might have been slightly better --> optimizing the panels' effectiveness earlier in the day, before they overheat and lose some efficiency later in the day. But due south is pretty good, and the best we could realistically achieve on the given site.

The partial wall of bricks (left) is for the inside of the future greenhouse.
And the chimney for the wood stove is green, because.. well, everyone knows a pumpkin stem is green, right? smile

Cheers
