In reply to Jim.

Hi Jim I have been enjoying your blog for a month. I have been to Guate twice with Habitat and am going back in Jan. We have a on demand heater in our house as part of our home power system. It works great for the most part. Before we used a solar heater which worked in the summer and coils in our wood stove that worked in the winter. That left spring and fall a little iffie for hot showers. Now we can get one anytime. Kind of spoiled now until I get to Guatemala Then you never know. I would like to visit with you about the outhouses. The villagers where we are going expressed a desire for better outhouses and I really like the design you use, But we are not sure of the commitment to maintaining them.

Proud of what you are doing to help others.
