Preparing for potential weather

Since we're in north Texas in the springtime, we decided we had better be prepared in case there are hailstorms predicted...

... so we invested in some moving blankets and tarps and bungee cords and clamps -- just in case -- to protect the solar panels on the roof.

We tried out a couple of techniques to cover the panels and think we have a plan that will allow us to cover them relatively quickly and easily... relatively being a "relative" term, of course!

In the mean time, we're praying that no severe weather hits while we are here!
