24.Windsor
Добавлен 26 май 2021
Join us as we share our journey from the busy city life of Kingston, to a lush green 12.5 acres property on the east end of Jamaica, in the Rio Grande Valley. On this journey, we look forward to your feedback, and where available, expert guidance, especially for projects that are outside of our comfort zone. We believe this RUclips community will be our university on this journey, and we look forward to it.
Extending the Rock Wall behind the cabin to prevent erosion
We are extending the rock wall behind the cabin to prevent erosion. This involves stacking rocks along the bank of the stream to slow the rate of erosion behind the cabin, which is just about 6 feet from the stream. The water level raises to the about 16 inches when it rains heavily so, while we are not overly concerned at this point, we are taking necessary precautions. Still have a way to go, so let us know if you want to help with this wall.

We have a challenge with our StarLink. As you know, we have been using the @SpaceX StarLink service for the last 16 months and now and recently installed on the roof of the Cabin at 24.Windsor.

Starlink After One Month - Is Starlink right for you?
How much a month
There are various options, but the base package starts at $7,000/month for fixed residential installation.
How do i get a DHL address?
Use your home address for delivery.
Any update how long it takes to ship and reach Jamaica?
When you order, the site will indicate when it will be shipped, but on average, it takes about two weeks to get to Jamaica.
We want a retaining wall by us so we will link you
🤣 ok
I wondered how the Hurricane and the subsequent heavy rain affected the property. Glad to see most things held up. You many want to invest in some gabion baskets to help with river training and minimize erosion. I'm no expert but there are civil engineers who can guide and advise you. The whole place looks awesome.
Thanks much 🙏🏾. We came through Beryl with no damage to the cabin and minimal impact to the trees. Major loss was our jackfruit tree that didn’t make it 😔. Gabion basket being considered but starting with low budget option. We can use these rocks in the basket later, if required. Really focused now on next major project which we hope to start this year. Thanks again for the feedback SC.
Interesting. I like this.
Thanks Dahlia. Happy you found it interesting.
What can I use to purchase the starlink do I need a credit card ? Or did u use a credit card to purchase yours
Use a credit (or debit) card to purchase. This card will also be used to cover your monthly bills.
@@24.windsorI’ve tried it only says credit card when I click the alternate payment option did u use a credit card to purchase yours
Yes, we used a credit card.
Watched this video again but now decided to ask a few questions. Why did you stop using the bluetti solar generator and have built the system you are now using, also how much hours are you getting off the solar system you are presently running?
Initially planned for 4 hours use but found that we actually needed more power. Larger generator to meet needs was too pricey. The DYI setup was more economical (significantly) and more in line with what we need. Currently, just running the StarLink, recharging devices and running light, we are getting about 30 hrs. We still have the BLUETTI but use it in case of long spells or rain (limited sunlight).
@@24.windsor That's great I like the build and am saving towards my build at the moment. Thanks for the detailed outline. 👍
Cabin looks good Mr D
Thanks
Great job, keep the videos coming.... very informative and inspiring 👍🏽
🙏🏾
Thanks for the update,brother. Glad you and your family are well after the hurricane. The cabin looks great. Live long and prosper!
🙏🏾. Appreciated.
Not Starlink related but i wanted to ask about the single solar panel you have what is it running and with how many batteries, what is the complete setup?
The setup in that video is actually 2 x 130W panels. We have since added a second 230W panel. We use 2 x Renogy 20amp charge controllers and a 2000W Renogy pure sine wave inverter. We have 2 x 12v 100amp batteries (check our latest Veranda Update video that drops in a couple hours). We use a Lenx smart shunt to monitor the batteries
@@24.windsor Thanks much appreciated info 👍
@djtooshort1 🙏🏾
@@24.windsor I forgot to ask you what can you power with this setup…And where can I get those batteries to buy?
@djtooshort1 check out recent video, using to power a circular saw installing cladding on outside wall. Setup can power anything up to 2000watts (limitation of the inverter). I got these Weize 12v 100amp LiFePO4 batteries off Amazon
This is great
Its a great feeling to reap what you plant 🎉
Agreed
This helped me alot u get a sub
Thanks. Happy it helped and thanks for subscribing.
Any updates on service, before/during/after Beryl?
Service before and after still tracking very well and we are satisfied. We had visited the cabin before Beryl and took the dish down to minimize the possibility of physical damage.
@@24.windsorone more question, what’s the maximum amount of devices you had on it at once and did you noticed any drop in performance? My intent is to have shared for two different households.
Max would be about 5 or 6 devices during testing phase. Since moved off-grid, we are mostly doing 2 or 3 devices at a time. I’m sure it can service both household (unless you have persons constantly doing massive uploads and downloads).
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome
I was given a new system from a friend I took it to Jamaica and can’t figure out how to get it started
Hey, I don’t think StarLink allows customers to move the system from one country to another. For the residential plan, it has to be used in the area it was registered. For mobile plan, you can move it around within the country it was purchased in (not to another country). You may have to contact StarLink to find out if it can be deregistered in one country and re-activated in another. Hope this is helpful.
Hi the speeds on the starlink site for your area they said u can get thats what u can get or u can get more in your area ?
Not sure I understand the question, but when I test, I am normally getting about 130mg download speed. Sometimes higher sometimes lower depending on weather condition.
So why you didn’t get some cats 😂😂😂
Excellent video, and thanks for answering several questions I've had. Wishing you continued progress 😊
Thanks a mil 🙏🏾
@24.windsor You're most Welcome All rhe Best 👌
🙏🏾
Bro, did this fix your issue with signal dropping?
Yes, I relocated the dish to a location that does not have an obstruction. Been working great since then.
@@24.windsor thanks for your response. Just ordered mine for livestreaming business.
Great. Haven’t tried live streaming since relocation but plan to, soon
Stain 😊, just slightly darker than its current shade
Yes, we went stain but early American which was darker than expected but looks great.
Hey guys......bless up!
🙏🏾
Thanks for the tag! Best wishes!
This is very motivating- thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work man. Do you mind sharing the contractor's info?
Thanks. Will check and let you know.
"Additional authentication is required for this payment." do you have any idea how to fix this issue when ordering starlink
Not sure how to fix that. Check your bank statement if the payment went thru, or contact your bank about the message.
Bro can u help me what I out for the shipping address I don't know what to put
Morning, if you are ordering for Jamaica, make sure you use an address in Jamaica to ship it to. DHL will deliver to that address at no additional costs. It does not have to be your own home address (so if you have a PO Box address, you can send to a friend or a work place address). Do NOT use a drop ship address in the USA.
@@24.windsor now I understand I will set to my home address. I was thinking I need to set to dhl address or a usa address yet just a Jamaica address then and so to confirm this will go to DHL automatically and my address only required on the site ?
@nickbaylis6661 yes, It will be shipped to you via DHL, the shipping company they use for orders coming to Jamaica. DHL will deliver it directly to that address in Jamaica
@@24.windsor hi I ordered but didn't get a tracking number?
@nickbaylis6661 I believe you will get the tracking number after the item is shipped.
thks 4 sharing i enjoyed
Its 1 year later how is the service working for you if you are still using the service
Service is working great for us. Still using it off-grid, out in the Portland bush. Speed fluctuates but getting 110 mbps this morning.
That’s the life I am looking forward to your next video
🙏🏾 next video coming soon
Way to be positive, my brother.
🙏🏾
Love the initiative! Great you are both using your talents and knowledge! Love the waterfall too :) All the very best guys!
Thanks very much. This just motivates us even more
Sadly, That's our culture. Polluting and improper garbage disposal.
Very sad
What a stupid thing to do. Just horrible and to think they may sell their catch for consumption. What is wrong with these people?
Utter madness 😩
Promo_SM 😑
You can get 1000 mbps in Jamaica guys 😂 so fast. 1 second and 3 seconds downloads... 8 minute longest.
What if where me live a country and a lot of trees in my yard?
If you have a lot of trees, you may have to mount it on a pole higher than the top of the trees (the cord that comes with the device is 75ft long, but you could also order the 150ft cord). Or, if you can’t, you may have to prune some of the branches from the trees (hope you don’t have to cut down any). I recently had to move our dish that was mounted on the roof of our cabin and place it on a pole up the side of a hill, to avoid obstruction from a nearby tree.
Thinking to get it but my area is prone to lightning so any remarks on that?
Go for it. If concerned, find a way to ground properly.
I am not a religious person..but that moment when you held Grace's hand and said "Grace", was a serene moment which demonstrated love for your wife and nature...and then just simply sharing a meal together on the veranda. Well done, sir.
Thanks for sharing🙏🏾. God has been very good to us.
How mush did it cost u for shipping?
Shipping included in cost (shows when you order). It ships via DHL to your address in Jamaica
Do you live.full time at the cabin we have a piece of land in windsor near you guys as well but we are currently not living there.
This was really good
Thanks. Are you planning to take advantage of the 40% offer for refurbished StarLink dishes?
@@24.windsor yeah, you know wassup. 😁
Sounds like a good plan.
Thanks for sharing this
Love the prayer. God is indeed good. God bless 24.Windsor!
🙏🏾
How bout some matches n likkle lighter fluid? 🤔
Good idea, that would work, but matches always getting wet (moist) out in the bush, so they don’t last too long.
Well done mi fren. Like the choice of green tone to blend in with environment. 👌👍
Thanks Sharon
Good stuff boss man
🙏🏾
A man of great talent 👏 👌 🙌 👍
Trying a thing or two
Hello bro I am looking to buy some of these for my offices. I need to know your current speeds you are getting. I need a urgent reply I am looking very high speeds.
I’m currently using in the bush of Portland and getting up to 150mb download. I have some trees obstructions which affects speed now so will be relocating the dish in another couple of weeks. I was getting 250-300mbps when used in Kingston. I guess the speed will vary based on where you are located.
@@24.windsor i understand but i want to know how often you get that speed of 300 mbs i need good speed my thing is security camera monitoring at several remote farm locations so i need to know that i am get that speed at lease 85 percent of the time.
@cattywool1 I don’t actually measure the speed very often, so unable to give an estimate of percentage that it’s running at 300. Sorry about that. Anybody out there that can help with this question? Anyone using for video monitoring?
