This video is probably one of my favorites! OK, maybe I’m a little biased because I am a mosaic artist and teacher. Those tiles are a beautiful mosaic just waiting to happen. If you need any advice or suggestions when you use them, just send me a message and I will try to be as much help as possible. I love seeing and encouraging other people’s creativity! Your mom is such a trooper and your dad seems to be a good motivator! I also want to say thank you for seeing the treasure in those tiles and being willing to use them. Not everybody sees past a pile or something that needs to be clean or that’s broken and is willing to use them. You were amazing! 😊

I bet you've started costing the solar install on the shade canopy, and you have room for more battery modules. For the controllers use Victron MPPT. Depending on the shade ~2-3 panels to a controller. Longest lasting for the money. For all your adobe supplies. A really small 1 hp jaw crusher, rented even. Then a dry container to store it in after it is reduced back to fines. Best wishes all.
