We went to Mexico for a 5 day vacation. Unfortunately the pictures are not in the order I wanted them. This was the sunrise on the last day.
The next picture was of the best bartender there. His name is Enrique. He made us some very special shots. I cant't state their names here.
Deb and I at lunch at one of the restaurants.
There was a lot of interesting artwork throughout the buildings.
There were also lots of beautiful flowers.
The pool was beautiful.
Although only four foot deep, it was easy to get to the 3 swim up bars.
The scenery was just beautiful. Palm trees every where. And plenty of lounge chairs to relax in the sun (which there was plenty of.)
We went out to a local plaza to do some shopping and this man let us take our pictures with him.
The staff walked around with this monkey and you could hold him. Deb also held him but at that point they told me they had to take all the pictures of course so they could sell them to you.
Another couple shots of the beach.
Inside the Mexican restaurant. We arrived before check in and they let us go have lunch before our room was ready.
The lobby of the hotel when we arrived.
Approaching the hotel to from the street.
The hotel from the outside.
The first thing they had to do was put some bracing in the attic. This was part of the delay. Getting approval from the structural engineer. The panels weigh about 150 lbs and he was concerned with load in the winter time. Better be safe than sorry.
The solar panels. There are 16 but they actually come 2 together, so only 8 boxes. They are about 5' X 5' approximately.
Here is the back side. Each panel has a microinverter (bottom left). The solar panel turns the suns rays into DC power. The micro inverter converts it to AC Power.
Here you can see one of the panels ready to go on roof. Takes 4 guys. 2 on the bottom and 2 on the roof.
With the panels comes additional electric sub panels. There is also an additional meter to measure the amount of solar power generated.
Here are the brackets installed on the roof to hold the panels. Some solar systems have a much more elaborate racking system. This system is actually called Solar in a Box and is much easier to install.
Here is a closeup of the panel. You can see the wires that are used to hook it to the remaining panels and ultimately the electric panel.
Almost done. Only 1 more panel to go after the one they are working on. Took less than 6 hours to mount the panels. The electric hook up was much longer.
Before view looking at both trees from the driveway. 
The oak is coming down. Here the bottom branches are removed. 
He actually climbed up the tree to remove some of the branches and the top section of the tree. 
They put all the branches in the wood chipper. They were going to take them away but later I decided to keep them. 
Getting ready to grind the stumps below the grade level. 
The finished product. We plan on planting a few flowering trees like perhaps a few crape myrtles or similar. They won't grow tall enough to be a shade problem. 
Here is a video of the first tree coming down.
