Stoned Tomorrow

The masonry people showed up today and prepared to lay the stone on the chimney breast tomorrow. They installed expanded metal mesh, masked off the surrounding wood and started bringing the stone around from the front. They implied they would be able to finish tomorrow.

Mike and Nate started installing the Tiger wood on the connecting porch, but ran out of wood.

We received a note from Frank that they would not be working on the second AC unit this week due to the high temperatures (supposed to be 97F tomorrow, but a cool front is due in Wednesday).

We also got a note from Josh (solar). He confirmed that the inverter software used to mitigate shade was not activated on our inverters. He said that they will be out Wednesday to activate this feature and to "do a string map of the modules since we do not have one from the original install". I still find this strange that they did not document the original installation. I am hopeful they will find something wrong. We had our best peak performance on Saturday with a maximum of about 6.5 kW. This occurred around 2:30 pm (daylight savings time). The one inverter is still lagging the other by 0.5 kW, but it actually got up to 3.0 kW, which is a high for it. Still, the overall output is less than what we would expect.

No electrical, no roofing, no guttering, no landscaping today.
