The island of Mindanao is in a state of calamity due to the lack of rain since December. The water level is so low that many of the wells are completely dry. Due to the lack of rain, we are having scheduled electric power failures daily. The shortest has been 30 minutes and the longest has been 5 hours. We never know when it will happen or for how long. So, we are ready at all times with a back up power system for the house.
Mike takes the battery out of the car, hooks it up to a 400-watt power inverter, and then plugs in an electric fan and a lightbulb. Ta-Da!! Light and air at the same time. It sure helps me to sleep in the afternoons when it is hot and it helps me to do lesson plans in the evenings when it is dark. So grateful for the inverter that Mike bought several years ago.
