Solar Hot Water [RE-wrenches]

[Wes Kennedy, Jade Mountain]

<x-flowed>Hi gang,

Sounds like a winner to me.   A wholistic, systems approach is what 
sustainability is all about.  I would welcome a discussion of all 
related topics.


RE: the genset discussion:
What brand and models have wrenches had the best luck with?  What is 
a good mix of value and reliability......?

thanks!
