Well, I need furniture, so I'd probably buy some nice antique furniture instead of the cheap stuff I would have bought, and I've been planning to buy a motorcycle.

Upgrade lathe and mill to CNC, start taking in more paying sideline work - should leave a few K for tooling to go with the upgrade

NG backup generator ~$3k
Replace one NG Fireplace with wood burning and chimney for emergency heat ~$2k
Small emergency/backup solar array with storage (hand built and installed panels can save about 80% of cost) - $4k in materials
10/22, ammo - $500
shotgun & handgun ammo - $500

I can't get away with diesel gen/tank here, hence the need for solar (can't do wind either). I figure if NG and Electrical both stop flowing, I probably don't want to be here long. :-)

Hmm, hopefully there'd be $600 or so left for a new suit.

Do you mind posting more info on this stuff? Maybe a new thread to talk about?
Is it security purpose only or does it reflect sunlight to prevent heat / cold? Or what. I`m interested now!
