  1. Currently in the industry as investor/financier and developer.

    Here are some key issues to watch:

     

    What are your terms on financing? And what is assumed for your ROI calculation. If interest rates rise (which they will) that will have an impact on your ROI. If you are able to obtain a fixed low interest rate loan for the term of the contract then you have no risk on interest rate increases because your loan will be paid off before then.

     

    Make sure your contract with the developer is a fixed price. Like the above comment there are a lot of moving variables that can impact the cost of the system between the time you sign contract to when the system is producing power (price of steel, panels, currency, etc).

     

    Warranties: Make sure developer provides you with at least a one-year warranty on the system. Ask for copies of your solar panel warranty (usually 20+years) and inverter warranty (10-20 years) should anything go wrong.

     

    Shoot me a pm if you have any more questions.

  2. I smoke my ribs for 6 hours. Did you open the smoker to look every so often? That will have a huge impact on your timing---the old saying "looking's not cooking" is one to remeber. I agree--the bone ends should be showing. Sounds to me like you have another 1/2 hour or so to go. Keep it indirect and you're good to go.

  3. I have stayed at Happy Day and fished the lake pretty hard. You won't be disappointed with the resort, people, or the fishing. Bring the big boat because the lake is big----and rumour has it there is some good fishing at the other end!! :thumbsup_anim:

    Make sure your beer supply is stocked because it's a good distance to the beer store. Check over your boat trailer as well because the dirt road going in is a good trek..

  4. Had my fishfinder quit suddenly while fishing (2 year old hummingbird).

    It's not the battery or fuse. When I try and power it up it just beeps and nothing shows up. I have checked wiring and I can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions???

    thanks

  5. Currently having a problem with my yamaha 30hp at slow speeds. I have to choke it to keep it running-----runs great as soon as I give it some gas. The gas line has some small cracks and the gas bulge is unusually easy to squeeze. Fuel filter is clean.

    Should I replace gas line? Maybe a dirty carb?

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

     

    thanks
