You probably covered this... but why can't you set up your solar panels and battery room in garage? You have that entire roof, which is larger than the house. Is it cost prohibitive or just not able to be done? I'm clueless regarding all of this but it seems like once it was completed it would work well, plus you could place tether points on the roof, for a safety harness, and not take away from the aesthetics of the house or barn since it's on the back.
Don’t forget to run another 1.5” electrical conduit from the back of the shop to the house when you move the propane around. It’ll allow you to add more solar on the shop roof if you decide to.
Heath, why don’t you seriously consider putting new/additional solar panels on the SHOP ROOF?
That would be an excellent viable solution to new solar addition for your homestead.
[Re: I reference you to “Ambition Strikes” homestead in northern Idaho. It is built with great thought and foresight, including future expansion of the physical homestead. Simply put, it is an awesome setup and installation.
Just an FYI for you.
All the best to you, Cedar and the family.
I really thought you were going to move the panels to the Barn after you built it... the voltage should work from there
I believe you can ‘AC couple’ with the Lion energy inverter. If that’s the case put more solar on the barn. Easy big roof. Ask Lion about ac coupling a second system.
Shop is unheated or at least not heated regularly. LIFEPO4 batteries can’t charge below 32F. One option would be to put the panels on the shop and run a conduit while the propane gets moved around. IIRC the inverter can handle 450VDC on the MPPT input. The high voltage from running the panels in series would allow for smaller (compared to 240VAC anyways) conductors from the shop to the inverter in the house.
@@brians8664 doesn’t matter when you ac couple, you literally dump the solar into the 240v side of ac. The inverter frequency shifts to turn on and off the barn solar. Would work with no extra wiring.
Not only that, but that area on first storey roof will become old quickly and not because of snow, the fact that it will seriously block light getting in that window will be a bigger headache long term.
That shot replacing the chimney spark arrestor against the grey sky... epic!
He didn't replace it he eliminated it like Zeus Lmao
Ruby by far is the coolest darn dog i have see for a homestead.
Guys stop complaining about the panels going on the lower roof. He is doing this so that he will have content in the future for us.
Thanks for your videos that my husband and I watch religiously. 😃
My husband had a valid comment on your last video here. One thing about backup generators is that they need to run once and awhile. He thinks you might overdo it when it comes to not wanting to start your generator and put in more solar panels.
I would suggest making a set of stairs on the back corner of the house to access the roof. For the number of times you may need to access the roof to remove snow, it will make things easier if you don't have to drag out ladders. It will also be safer than climbing ladders and easier to get tools up there.
😀I thinking something similar… maybe a permanent ladder installation
Good idea. I always had cages or frames put around the roof ladders to all the buildings. Makes it easier and safer.
tie a rope end strut and end roof just pull rope and cut snow and slide off roof
What a good idea!
Doesn't he normally climb out the bedroom windows for snow removal?
Nice to see the children having fun, harming no one, (not even themselves) and just being health children. I envy you still being able to climb onto the roof and carry the materials and tools you need to get your work done. Age, damage, wear and tear have reduced my abilities, so now it is great to see someone getting on and living and fully exploiting their hopes and dreams and defeating their setbacks the way that you, and your family achieve every day.
Another interesting and informative video from RPR. Given your silver reflective roof, you might consider upgrading to bifacial panels. They cost more but have a transparent back which allows light to pass through and then reflect back to the cells on the back of the panel. They are about 10-15% more efficient per panel.
Instead of putting that solar array on the first floor have you considered putting a larger array on top of your shop roof?
I agree. Blocking the light into the first floor will get old quick I would imagine
He doesn't ever respond to any post its what he said and he doesn't read them either
don't worry that will be next month...he will tear these down move them
@@canifixit3504 That is because Cedar is the one that monitors youtube.
Another array on the barn is definitely the way to go
Cedar's garden is looking so lush and green. I love gardens. The solar panel array is awesome and everything's looking good and coming together nicely. You are an inspiration! 🌿🌸💖
Another fantastic video production! Again thank you for sharing your life story in real-time. You and family are an inspiration to us all. Stay well and work safe!
You’ve done an amazing job. You’re so inspiring. Oooh eating from your own garden it’s the best thing to watch Cedar cook a little bit, the food looked delicious. I love you guys for real. Much love and God bless you all .❤️❤️👏👏🙏
I've never seen so many hummingbirds at one feeder 😂! It's so cool!
I too have never seen so many at one feeder. Mine are territorial one or 2 will chase the others off.
@@AtomicReverend the key is to get extra feeder and if possible spead them out. Then the bullies have too much to defend.
wow, that angle is just right to catch all the snow sluffing off the 2nd story. I see a lot of shoveling in someones future
Gives him plenty of reasons to fall off the roof in the snow/ice, at least he'll have a soft landing in the pile of snow on the ground LOL.
Wait till the big icy chunks slide off 2nd floor panels
Supertolle Arbeit geleistet und richtig schön gemacht 👌👍😁😊😉🤗
Thanks for the videos. I always enjoy the narrative as much or more than the videos. I live in a certain amount of pain everyday. When the pain becomes unbearable I will put on one or two of your videos to get me through the rough part. I usually save 2 or 3 videos just for such occasions. Your content and your heartfelt narrative takes my mind off everything for a while.
Just wanted to say "thank you".
The solar panels on the lower house extension roof is definitely something you will undo in a near future. So unpractical for snow, window obstruction etc
Yeah, I agree.. I thought he was going to install them flat. Imho, he needs to accept the efficiency losses and oversize the array on the 1st story to compensate. Sun light is valuable, especially in the winter and you don't want to blocking it from entering your home through the windows imho.
@@LeJimster it’s on the stairway window if I’m not mistaken which removes sunlight both upstairs and downstairs. My bet is that within a year or 2 he will mount the entire system in the shop and put the mounts on the shop roof which is much bigger
My thoughts exactly.
@@augustinf with the money they are making I think they will be living in New York in two years.
@@bensouthwell1339 😂😂😂; yeah i m sure it’s their hidden goal
Love the DIY spirit! Learning as we go and having fun.
Still amazed at how hard you work every single day. It’s a testament to your character. Men like you built America. But before I did all of that, I would have moved them down to the front of the yard by the fence to get more daylight. Put some arborvitaes around them to hide them from the side and back. Couldn’t have looked any worse than them sticking up over the back of the house. That’s a lot of work for something you admitted is probably temporary. And yes, it kills he whole point of you redoing the pitch of that lower roof. You will definitely be back up there shelving snow on ice.
If you do add solar panels when can afford to buy them, it makes tons of sense to mount them to the shop roof. And I recall you already have conduit pipe run to the house to pull wires.
At Life Uncontained they made a passive preheated water heater. They are on U-Tube. They took an old water heater and built a cold frame around it. The coils from the old water heater preheated and fed the the water heater in the house. They too are off the grid.
With the winter temperatures at RPR I suspect Heath would spend most of winter repeatedly defrosting the unit followed by welding up the splits from the ice :)
Yes, they did build a passive hot water heater. But, do you know how murderously hot it is in Texas? I've lived in Texas when all water came out hot or warm out of water taps. In the summer I only used water from the cold side in the summer to take a shower or bath.
Am I wrong but you just blocked your windows with those solar panels. Seems ashamed to block the light entering that room, why not put them between the two upstairs windows.
like someone else said. living in Texas...where they are..it's hot. It does not get anywhere near as cold, or as long in Texas as it does up at RPR. Hell most years we get a few weeks of what most people consider autumn and maybe a week or so of 'winter'. the last2 yrs years have been stupid for us as far as amount of cold and HOW cold... but still.
as a Union General once said "If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd lease out Texas and live in hell" Although all things being equal the temps are probably the same. when we're talking summer time.
With all due respect, I have followed Life Uncontained from the beginning as well. They are in a much different climate and they are going through their own regrets. Both of these families are remarkable and have to pave their own path. 🙏❤️
I gotta say that I believe your shop roof would be the best location for all those panels.
I highly recommend looking into the efficiency of micro inverter arrays versus the central inverter array that you have set up. Very important
Heath , the house looks so awesome with the board and batten siding
The sky looks beautiful it look like a blanket of snow over head.
Done and Done! Wow you had a great summer getting things done! Nice!
Beautiful garden! I live in a city and have a small yard but absolutely always make room for a garden . I used non gmo heirloom seeds this year and have tomatoes, peppers,green beans, broccoli, cabbage, basil, dill and parsley all taking off like crazy! Nothing better than food you grew yourself.
Laura if your vegi's are heirloom varieties and you like them save the seeds from them they will grow true to type next year saving you some cash and giving you so many seeds you can give them out to friends and family that garden.
I live in the suburbs and a garden has been my thing for 20+ years just because I like growing stuff. I am not anywhere near a health nut but I question how safe the overly perfect looking produce is at the store so I try not to buy it because it is almost guaranteed to have used pesticides or be GMO.
Meal looks so good Cedar, thank you .
Cedar's garden is looking 👍
Hey Heath and Cedar l truly look forward to watching y’all and l truly enjoy each and every video. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings! 👍👍👍👏👏👏😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌
Goodness that panel in front of the window would drive me nuts….. Hopefully your people are calmer than I am, lol. I guess efficiency is number one but still…….Still love your family and vlogs even though I don’t understand some/most of the logic
Another nice video! If you were to remove the lower two panels on the lower roof, then the snow shed from the upper panels would have a chance to slide to the ground. Right now you have a shaded trap for a lot of snow this winter.
Wisdom comes with winters!
Had you ever thought about having all the solar panels on the 'shop' roof instead of the house? There looks to be plenty of room and you also have the awnings too....and no obstruction or eyesore over the house.....or you could just expand your system massively adding there.
Are you serious? Would you want to climb the shop roof for repairs or snow? Plus the cost of expanding?
@@karengossett1475 i would on top of the wood storage area and the over hang potion of the shop roof.... plus 1 row of single panels across the whole shed roof not 3 that would probably fit the need for solar.......
@@karengossett1475 he has put solar panels in front of a bedroom window, thats got to be a first!
hes too stubborn to read the comments lol. I love the channel though
@@randomhobbies5796 Well I do! As well as his family! If you are unhappy with this channel then don’t watch or give a thumbs down. Your hateful comments are not appreciated or necessary.
As plumber by trade, have you thought of putting heat trace under your solar panels on the roof. You can melt the snow and this may keep you from going on the roof in the winter.
Not a plumber myself, but I was thinking something similar. I was thinking one of those glycol-filled radiant heating systems that they use for in-floor/driveway heating. Guess it would depend on which system uses more electricity for them, likely the heat trace.
Your garden is looking so good! Mine is suffering from the Tucson Summer! The solar panel turned out great!
I hope you do not regret putting panels on the lower roof. Shoveling will be a nightmare. It may turn out to be better to revisit the arrays on the hillside if you need additional capacity. Good luck…don’t fall off and break something.
JoeB
Garden's lookin good 🙃 have a great week y'all 🤗👍❤
I like your projects @ Red poppy ranch Good luck sir .
CEDAR, YOUR GARDEN, OMG 😲!!! looking as beautiful as your whole place up there in 5 years. Heath, you guys complement each other!!!!!💜🧡😇🙏🌩🌨⛈️👍🤝👊
The shed would have been a much better location for your solar and battery setup. Your generator is now over there, and you have the cable to send AC back to the house. With the chimney shading on the house, I would recommend relocating your arrays and battery to the shed. You also have much more space for expansion.
And yes if you don't want to move the batteries you can AC couple solar from the shed.
He has said in past he needs to keep the batteries in the house because they have problems if they get too cold.
for better winter output go with bifacials. keep them at a bit steeper by[10 deg] than best lowest winter sun angle and step panels back like a set of stairs.
this will make less snow buildup more snow reflection plus more reflection from higher sun from second and third rows onto back of first and second rows in lower light to
Great work on the hot roof to complete your solar array for now!
Seems like alot of work just to get closer to the sun
I would have mounted those lower panels right to the side of the house under the eves, between the windows of course. You could still make them adjustable....but then you don't have to block windows or worry about snow at all. Just thinking out loud. Best wishes RPR family EDIT....later in video lots of shade there LOL, but maybe kick them out far enough and work in winter when sun lower on the horizon.
We had a solar hot water heater in La Mesa, Ca. And we’re fortunate it never gave u trouble but only had the condo five years!
I'm finally seeing the beautiful state of Idaho I'm in Sandpoint/ponderay for work! Probably only get to see this part of the state tho then it's on to Montana!!
Another great interesting video , thanks for sharing.
I was wondering why you wanted to move the panels from the ground to the roof. If you mentioned it in an earlier video, I either didn't see that one or forgot about you discussing it. Thanks for the explanation, an hour more sun per day is indeed significant!
He had said “they blocked his view of the hill side when he looked out his windows, so he was going to move them to the roof”.
But not only do they still block his view, he created a problem getting to them to remove snow or adjust them. Don’t worry tho, he will redo them at some point. Every project he does ends up being redone. He will never run out of TH-cam content.
He also just said in this video they get a hour more sun time on the roof
@@roywaite5793 haha seriously. Every project is "meticulously planned" and not to be questioned because he knows what he wants and what he's doing. Yet 80% of what he does he goes back to redo "the right way" and ends up with a clusterfuck like his current solar array.
@@Homohumulus check out the hillside erosion the tree roots deeply undercut from first big rain.
It would take about the same amount of effort, and about as many words to say “Thanks for spending your time creating these videos, thanks for the kind words you always have for the people around you, thank you for being imperfect like everyone else, thanks for reminding us what life is about, thanks for showing us your part of the country, and I appreciate how hard you work for your dream.”
I'm really anxious to see what's going to happen to all that snow that will fall this winter on both of those roofs constantly and build up there.
As time passes we realize what is needed for sustainability in the coming months if not food but our energy needs it may seem like we always need more but it's best to have some in the bank so to speak as a safety issue it never hurts and you never got to check out the spring Heath like you had hoped but it will be there waiting when you get to it looked like Callie and Reid were having some good times around the water this summer and I could almost smell that shrimp pasta Cedar cooked up the array looks good Heath but the true test will be in the winter let's hope it won't be a bad one my friend be careful and stay safe my friend God love ❤ ya all
You should look into getting like a Cosori or another brand dehydrator. I know you have a big stash of canned dried food, but if you want some good greens during the winter you can dry spinach, kale, spring mix, carrot tops and etc and make a powder. Add it to your meals, drinks and you have that goodness from your garden. You can do your own caramelized onions powder. So much fun too something the kids can watch it change in the dehydrator. Watermelon is a fun one for the kids and such a healthy treat.
Looking good! 👍
The solar panels where an eye sore on the hill, now they will completely block the view and light from the second floor for part of the year. Seems like quite a big compromise and, from my perspective, a trade-off in the wrong direction. I guess there are no alternatives. If I where a betting man I would put my money on the panels being relocated (again) next summer. Thanks for continuing to put up the great videos. They are a staple in my TH-cam diet. 👍🏽
What happened to the rubber "packers" between the roof and the brackets to stop the metals corroding each other with the reaction ?
And leakage into the house? I can assure you those unistruts need a diagonal support, or will probably collapse in a snow/ice storm.
Nice work stretch.
Finally...lol The idea of laying the array down in the summertime is probably a good one. The angle of the sun should still be good to maximize exposure. For sure you don't want to block the light from getting into the window, I mean the 3" shades do enough of that already.
Your application on the roof like that would benefit from the new bifacial panels! The reflection off the roof would make power on the backside of the array! I am wondering how the snow will react to what you have.
I suggest buying a second chimney cap. You can replace the dirty one with the spare in one trip and clean it on the ground at your convenience. It will save a trip up on the roof.
He absolutely needs to brush with a chimney brush. That cap showed it. People die in house fires often from wood burning creosote fires.
Kind of a shame, with all that beauty, the top floor windows will be looking at the back side of a solar array and lose all their sunlight. Nice work, regardless.
As always amazing work! I look at the 1st story arrays and consider the opportunity to look out the windows. I see it and think about having the solar panels on the 1st story at a 2 high rather than 3, except between windows (maybe). I just don’t want to block the views… as much. Room below the panels could allow more snow to slide below them.
In home water storage could reduce temperature differential for heating winter water.
We're on the same level, David ! "solar panels on the 1st story at a 2 high rather than 3, except between windows (maybe)"
Exactely what I suggested minutes ago ! Will he hear us, I don't know...
Wow 🤷♀️ It is really easy being a critic isn’t it? Heath has never tried to act like he knows everything, he has learned by trial and error.
@@marcryvon so if he hears you guys, do you think he will remove them and redo them? They will lay flat 9 or 10 months out of the year and will not block his view. The few months in the winter that they are up, it will be worth losing his view from a window or 2 to gain the sunlight he will be getting.
@@warrenmichael918 I don’t know. Heath is intelligent and skilled. It was simply an observation as I watched the video. Working with friends on similar projects, we constantly discuss design and method options. Some of these discussions, partially or wholly, affect the design or process - others are completely dismissed. Many times their added perspectives provide more benefit than their physical assistance. A couple of things I find annoying is outright and repeated insistence or reluctance to say anything until the job is completed. Overall, I always appreciate their added observations and suggestions.
@@davidlough7302 Thats the problem with these youtube comments, they are giving him advice on a project that is at least a week old and already finished. If he reads an awesome comment with a great idea about the project he just let us watch him do, its already finished and the suggestion doesnt matter to him.
Awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
I see you cleaned the top to the wood stove. When did you do the pipe itself? I hope you did. Great job with the solar panels.
Great job!
You were talking about power issues during the winter time you might consider putting in a small shed up on the top of the hill and putting up an array of 300 watt panels turn it to AC to bring it down the hill and connect it into your system like it would be a grid tie system.. Just a random thought.. That way during the day your current panels can charge up the batteries with out load hopefully on it unless its a rainy day.
Just an observation,
When planting greens papers, tomatoes etc: Use the egg shells, crash it to a powder like form, as part of your initial soil, mix it up right there and then…You will see your vegetable grow big and with an amazing flavor
You Really should get a chimney brush for the wood stove. Chimney fires are quite common. Do this every year!
Just wondering do they look at you funny when you check into a motel lol
I am running 40 panels in three arrays. Each panel is 330 what. At the best mart of the day I can run the entire house and put power back out to the grid at the same time. I do like how you built your solar system.
I see them supports on lower roof buckling from the snow and ice from upper roof falling on them.
Maybe but I think the snow might slide off, we will see.
Why not go two panels high across the second story so it will not block the windows so much and panels would be more stable. Just a thought.
And that would help with snow coming off of the upper panels and falling onto the lower panels. If the lower array was only 2 panels high, the snow would fall behind the lower panels.
That'll be another video in the "making it right" with a redo. Why do something once when you can do it twice.
Brilliant!
@@stevemurnane1892 lol. He is doing exactly that.

All I will say is this... I have never been bored or disappointed by any of your videos since the beginning! Heath you are truly the most honest man who just tells it like it is and such a loving family man! My love and respect always 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
@Karen Gossett - How can you be so critical? Don't you have any sense of decency?
@@jacksak she is a Karen, what can you expect? Hi Karen of course we are teasing you...

I think about how his family would feel reading the responses? Lately even the scammers are using this platform and I have become angry. No excuses, I apologize.
We are on the grid and have invested in solar to reduce our total energy bill. 93 panels 360W each. Total system capacity is 24 kWp and we have 2 Inverters that take the 700V form our 6 strings and convert it to 400V AC 3 phase that we use here in Sweden. In total it should produce around 27000 kWh/year of power and reduce our bill quite a bit. Our total need is about 43000 kWh/year.
It was not cheap but if it works as intended we will save a lot on the energy bill. We have a big house and indoor swimming pool so it's a lot of power needed. Our heating and warm water is produced with a thermal heat pump that take the energy from the ground and convert it to hot water for our needs but if I had designed the system my self we would have had a wood fired boiler with accumulator tanks for the heating. We live far north on the globe (59.7 degrees north) so we have very short winter days but instead long summer days. Not perfect for solar to heat your house. Keep up the good videos and take care of your beautiful family.. Best regards and love from Sweden / Micke.
SOLAR ON THE SHOP ROOF (see Ambition Strikes…there’s is Primo!
If you're worried about snow load on the back side of the first floor roof elevate the hinges a foot or so should I weigh the snow has a way to slide up underneath it and off or should get backed up behind it
@Red Poppy Ranch - I hope you have to safe the Panels very good in case of very hard winds. Otherwise they can come down. Better use Tornado mountings to ge safe.
Great job
Hi there, been a viewer of yours since just after you finished the clearing of your land. At the time of installing the solar panels the other building was not up yet. I was wondering why you did not choose to move them to your garage instead of the house. Hope you don't mind the question. From a viewers perspective it looks like there would be more room on that roof. Thanks in advance. P.S. Can't wait to see what you do with the new property. 🥰
if you want a serious wood stove that uses insanely little amount of wood, buy a Heta Scan-line 1000B (with the baking thing on top) from Denmark .
i just had one installed .. it is well worth it ..
Removing that spark arrestor you are welcoming the starlings. I was constantly pulling them out off the fire place. Also the starlings love to build nests inside the top during the exact time of the year that you don't use your stove much. I literally pulled out 3 ft of sticks and debris from them building a nest. So be cautious. So to say the least. I put mine right back on to avoid the potential of a chimney fire from nest builders.
Very good point. I forgot about that.
Sometimes I get lost watching the sky/clouds in your videos. We gave up our farm yrs ago due to health issues, one thing I really miss is the night sky, would you do a nighttime sky video? Bet it's beautiful there at night!
You're worried about snow build up behind your solar panels have you considered building slide panels from the top of you solar panels so that the snow slides down the other side of your roof. (Just a suggestion.) I love your show and just can't wait for the next episode my family loves your videos.
7:55 there is a comet flying by :)
I was hoping to see the natural spring up the mountain! Maybe next week?
4 panels ons section would allow you to leave the bottom level up and still have sim and view.
It would seem to make sense to put the solar panels flat on the lower level. They won't be as efficient, but they also won't block the view from the upstairs windows and snow won't back up behind them. Relative to the cost of all the other equipment you have, panels are quit cheap so "over panel" your system.
Great advice
Looking great. Although I am curious, why not use all the roof space on the barn?
Love the channel, been watching your family progress for the past 3 years. I get happy when I see a new video on Sundays and Thursdays. Question about your solar panels, why didn’t you mount them on the shop?
I took the screen off my chimney spark arrester, I've had to fish 5 birds so far out of my wood stove in the spring and summer months, good luck there.
When his house burns down from a chimney fire the insurance adjuster will be glad they dont have to pay due to no spark arrester.
RIP looking out those windows unless you like just seeing the back of those panels that is.
Can you explain why you did not put the complete array on the garage roof? it has a larger area and would support all of the panels that you put on your house roof without blocking the views of your upstairs windows.
Because that would make sense and Heath is too stubborn
@@Homohumulus I believe, if I remember correctly, he stated that part of the property does not get any where near the sun light that the house does.🤔
@@dennis2376 that doesn't make it accurate. His workshop is less than 200ft from his house. The difference in irradiation is negligible unless there are trees or something shading the workshop (there aren't)
you will have fun doing water storage and you got the elec basically taken care of, the garden looks great - think about a helical wind turbine - this will hedge your energy production during winter and during storms but shop around for best components - helical may be better bank for the buck - you can use large blades and produce more output rather than going for a mini #brushless
double down on the garden! - use logs for raised beds - simple
I would spread the panels on the roof between the windows. You should keep your view out of the windows.
at least you're not on that hot roof in shorts lol.. I did that as a unexpected chore for my grandparents to put shingles on their roof
😬🥵
Do you regret moving the panels from the hill side where you were able to adjust them and remove snow easily?
I remember you saying the main reason you wanted to move them was because they block your view of the hill side from your windows. Not sue why you moved them only to block off the window view anyway.
He will regret in winter, ice slabs from top roof will break lower roof panels. Gutters unlikely to contain those crusty slabs.
he moved them to get them in better sun so he has more power. He will only block his view for a few months when the lower panels are raised in the winter.
@@warrenmichael918 genius, block light into the house in winter, but let summer sun roast you.
@@JohnDoe-np3zk all this freezing and roasting from a couple of small windows? Dude, how do we keep meeting like this over a goofy youtube video? LOL
@@warrenmichael918 I think your defense of stuff is kind of funny tbh.
I use an old paintbrush and my blower to clean my chimney cap.
What about going 2 panels high and 3 wide? This will allow for more light in the windows during winter.
Hi from 🇬🇧 love to you all
I think you should get some railroad ties and do platforms on your hillside and make a garden on each tier,
Wrong. The stacking of rr ties he did before is in no way a structural retaining wall, terraced or not.
you would be able to have solar cell on the roof of the second building instead of on the lower roof. and if the windows are openable, you can take things in and out instead of carrying up and down the ladder.
