Ah, yes...I just checked out Chegg, and it seems to be another good site for book renting. Thanks for the tip Alex!

Whats with the new format? Don't like it. The reason I watch DLTV on Sunday mornings is to get away from all the infomercials on network TV... this episode seemed like one big infomercial ;(

Tell Lloyd that his whole article/videos on the solar panels was a big hit at work with 2 people going through the process as we speak. It also got a few of the engineers talking about what would be needed to start your own legit Easy Home Solar Install business.
We deal in our field with the same master electricians, contractors, architects and engineers and next thing you know were expanding into solar panels with some VC funding. I keep saying its all thanks to Lloyd but they just laugh it off.
