Draining the water in the burned house

Two-stage compact Fog Chiller

What would be better for a spooky cemetery than a low-lying creepy fog? I don't usually get a chance to have a big space for decorating, so I'm going in big this year. I came across some really good designs this year, with one that seemed spot-on with what I wanted to try. His design used an ultrasonic mister on steroids with no ice needed. I wanted to try adding a layer of ice to see if I coul...

New office chaos, apologies for the echo/reverb
Просмотров 8Месяц назад
Still trying to adjust to a new space. The office is technically a bedroom, but it's about 9 feet by 9 feet with a tiny closet space, and that's a good size for a workspace. It's also where the fiber comes in, so all of my networking equipment is right here and I don't need to run ethernet cables everywhere. I'm surprised at how much of an adjustment it is. I'm used to hotels and relatively sho...

Finally secured a rental house, and made the trip to the new place. This is a slice of that journey. We've been adjusting to the new place, getting the things that we need to function, trying to get all of the stuff that wasn't ready yet fixed, and generally adjusting to a new place. There will be more, this is really all I had time for. It's been an incredibly busy week.

Mostly an update. With dogs.

There was an electrical fire in mid-August. Nobody was harmed, the dogs are fine, but it's a pretty major loss that will take many months to rebuild. The house is being gutted, all the infrastructure needs to be brought up to code with a 100 -year-old house. As you may guess, that's not cheap, nor will it be quick. Current estimate is 9 months minimum. I lost a lot of stuff. The immediate needs...

My 2021 Karavan 5x8 has four predrilled holes on each side with plastic caps on top, but my trailers has 3" frame. So I bought 4-pack of V-ring bolt on anchors and will get some bolts at Lowe's. I didn't even know there were already holes in the trailer for anchors.

      No, but if you check the manufacturers website you may be able to find that information. Flashing blue and red sounds like an error condition, but I have no idea what it means. If the whole pack is reading 3.5 volts and that's not per-cell, it sounds like the pack is dead.
