Greetings all!
This
is the other half of Deborah and David.
I’m the one with the Y-chromosome.
We were thinking about getting solar on our new house and we were wondering
if anyone else has done this and if so which installer/vendor did you use?
Thanks!
Deborah and David
Hi netnomad:
Our house backs up to the tracks and we've been there many times while the
trains is
cruisin' by. Once they installed the windows, insulation and drywall we could
hardly hear
it. I did however sense a slight vibration but, I most certainly enjoyed seeing
it go by. You
can only see the engine as the rest of the train is not tall enough most of the
time but,
also once the engine goes by, you cannot see, hear or feel a thing. It goes by
at random
times. We looked at MoPac/CapMetro's website and they have it listed as an
overflow
track meaning that when the main track is busy they use it instead. We decided
to
purchase our house because we researched where the floodplain was located and it
is
actually on the other side of the tracks where our house is located. We do
however have an
easement on the back which made our yard shorter than we were first told. They
tell us
that that the easement is our property but we cannot fence it, nor plant in it
(water must
flow freely). But my husband's happy as he never liked mowing a yard!

><p>Is there anyone living in Agave right next to the train tracks. We are thinking about buying out there any many lots are sold so there are fewer choices and we are looking at the lots right next to the tracks. Any feedback would be appreciated.<p>
