what good is all the power in the world (slight exaggeration there, i will admit that) if you can’t turn it into something useful. like light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or the ability to run a fridge, operate a welder, or use a toilet (yes, composting toilets<\/a> use no water, but they do use electricity). it took two guys two days to wire up the shed, install the lights and the power points; it’s a big shed after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hopefully the solar system won’t feel quite as bored now; with all the energy going in and hardly any going out the inverters are still occasionally throwing tantrums, and i actually had to turn one off to avoid the constant bickering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

there are two major projects left before we can consider the shed (mostly) finished: i need to connect the water tanks through a pump and add a few taps so we can actually start using the water, too. with recent rains<\/a> there is a bit of water sitting in there, just waiting to be used. the new gutter guards are going to ensure we collect water but no leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the last thing to build inside will be the mezzanine floor in kris & nat’s bay, which will also house the toilet cubicle. i’d say this should only take a few days but there are some other things in the pipeline which will demand a lot of my attention, like our city base and my new job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the super spreader needs welding. i’d better start making a list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

and with winter practically almost upon us it’s time we started collecting fire wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the new (to us) wood splitter arrived just in time. i still don’t know how others manage to survive without an excavator; i mean how else do you lift a wood splitter off a trailer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
