here's the outside of my next home. mind you, i'll only be living there for 10 weeks. you can see the solar panels to the right of the house...so, i'll be able to charge my cell phone and camera. unfortunately, i won't have internet access...but i will on mainland when i come in every couple of weeks. i'm not sure how far away the mainland is...from the looks of the picture i'd say 5-10 miles.
