Had a good day with the build yesterday. Had some awesome help, a visitor from the CRVL ... sup Cory350!, a moment of serindipity, and got a bunch done. Foumd and sealed the leak that caused some rot in the floor. I LOVE 3M 5200 Marine Sealant! I put that shit on everything! Ripped up and...

Or a medical dispensary. Why does everyone assume the worst?

Seeing as I drive a bill board that all but reads `pull me over I cook meth for fun an profit' I will not and have not carried ANYTHING illegal in it. If you want to read the REAL history of how and why marijuana/cannabis is illegal I would recommend The Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer...

Yes. Thank you. It confirms my basic understanding. I'm also looking at a used 2000watt Generac for $300. I like the warranty for the lesser price. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Ah HA! The barb thing is what I'm missing! I couldn't figure out how they fit together. Thank you! For my sink I think I'm gonna go with a siphon hose: a hinge, a tennis ball, and some scrap wood to make a foot pump. 5 gallons of fresh water > siphon hose gadget > sink > drains to 5 gallon...

Please explain like I'm 5. If I buy this generator what is the preferred / best way to utilize for charging house batteries? What other hardware would be required? I have 2xDuracell 6V golf carts. I also have a Battery Tender brand charger. This generator also has DC output. Can you just run...

Did you sign a lease? If so, when does it end? Can you rent a room instead of an apartment? Do you still have the broken van? Can you park it somewhere and pocket the S.S. and use it to fix the van? Some homeless shelters will let you park and live in your vehicle if you have one. You can lock...

I've got some help coming by tomorrow. One from these forums and another local I met. I've got a buddy that's interested in helping install the tongue and groove on the ceiling. Been pulling eletrical all day. The electrical box above the drivers seat is GONE and I've been pulling ground wires...

Thank you. As of yesterday it's 80 pounds. That's like half freaking person! My Docs are happy and I just dropped a high blood pressure prescription. Dinner last night was chicken and brocali in black bean sauce over rice. Soak frozen boneless skinless chicken breast in black bean paste Set...

That is almost certainly a pop rivet. I just drilled out over a thousand of those $%(&#$&$%^#$%^ing things. Two basic choices. Cut off wheel on an angle grinder. Hit the pin with a nail set or similar punch. Once the pin is further in get a metal drill bit that is larger than the diameter of...

Construction update ------------------------- The holes in the roof are patched. The holes where the emergency lights were have been patched and sealed. I have found about 3 square feet of rotten wood behind the drivers seat. I have simply removed the heavy rubber bus floor and dug the rot out...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the most I would ever really need to charge back up is the 115ah of usable energy, not 230ah. So, it seems that 300watts of solar should be pretty good. I'm also thinking that I may get one of the $180 genis on sale at HD. Small and really i just need it to...

I was wondering about that. Can you just use a wall switch wired to DC? + to + and - to - and done or is there more to it? Here's another question. I have a switch plate with a switch and a wall socket outlet. Can you wire this to turn on and off the power outlet? For instance I have a rice...

All connectioms are sound and have been testes wnd to end with a multimwter. As for the MC4s I wanted some practice with them before I didnthe big system and I'm glad I did. I ended up wasting severa cause I did a poor job or did it all together wrong. Dislexia sucks sometimes. Sent from my...

Hmmm ... maybe my cable run is too long. 20 feet of 10awg from the panel to the CC. I'll test later with just the pigtails. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'll double check this evening, it's all put away for the moment. I'm clearing out for the realtor photos. Was supposed to be today but I'm not ready yet. Story of my life. For what it's worth when I pulled the + connection from the panel (always remove + first to disengage the current from the...

Grits are a porridge made from dried white hulled corn. It's like a thin polenta. Cheese grits would have ... cheese. Now, if you ever a chance to have Shrimp and Grits do it. Unless your allergic to shrimp in which case I'll have yours.

ARGH! Yesterday I left the system in the sun all day, repositioning the panel several times to get good exposure. I was getting 13.0v almost all day from 7AM to 7PM. Felt pretty good about it. I brought everything inside and figured I would check the battery to see how it was doing so I hooked...

Waking up warm and dry. Hot coffee with cream and sugar. A huge list of things to do that when done means I can finally cut the shackles and leave. The sun is shining. I have food. I have fuel in the rig. I have two offers to buy stuff that I'm selling. Time to go grab this day the horns and...

AmieW, I'm not one for platitudes and pointless affirmations so please understand that this is meant with nothing but empathy and compassion. Asking for help is not weakness. Kindness is not weakness. Refusing help when you need it is foolish. Helping others with no promise of compensation is...
