Solar Power - the Grow House Solution

Most of the grow houses in our area get busted based on their PG&E usage and use patterns. What's an illegal pot grower to do when you're forced to grow indoors? Easy, solar power and battery banks not connected to the grid. Or so I've heard...

How it started

I hereby solemnly swear to change the names to protect the innocent, to display the names of the guilty, and to never let the whole-truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth get in the way of a good story. Every time my friend Rick asks me how's business going, I tell a funny, scary, horrible, humorous, incredible or interesting story. When I'm finished he always says the same thing, "You should write a book". I'm never going to take the time and effort to write a book, so this Blog seems like an easy Cheater Method for writing down my stories. Hopefully you will find them entertaining too. Some background... I am a licensed general contractor (residential builder) and strangely enough - I am a woman. The construction business looks a little different viewed through my eyes as you will see. I will tell you stories of clients, competition, employees, building officials, and construction sites, the good, the bad, and the funny.Enjoy!
