Off The Grid

Common lore holds that digging during a full moon gives you left-over dirt. How many of you know this???

Any of ya'll looking for 12v LFP batteries, these look good. https://www.wattcycle.com/pages/black-friday-cyber-monday-sale Will Prowse caught them mislabling the 300ah version and they addressed it right away. If you need a battery for an RV or 12v stuff, these look good.

Mrs Johnkowski can grade better than me so thats her job. We're getting the earth sloped away from the greenhouse. The left side of greenhouse has a french drain already installed from last week. And... you can tell the government is shutdown because there are no chemtrails.

This 110 gallon water trough has become our standard trough for the pastures. It's about 2' deep so we dig down 18". There's a float valve on the bottom below the frost line. I use a 3/4" nylon bushing to penetrate the wall and hold the valve. From there it's easy to connect a buried garden hose. You can buy lifting eyes in metric to screw on to the ball and onto the rod. A short length of chain and you are off and running.

Here's how I install a float valve in my troughs to prevent freeze damage to the valve.

Project today... bury hoses and spigots to the new troughs we installed 3 months ago. It's one of those things I procrastinated on. gunna get a hard frost tomorrow night, so I got them below the frost line of 3". Each of our troughs are buried about 8"-12" deep with a float valve on the bottom. I took the ball off the rod it was attached to and connected with a length of small chain. Now the valve is well below the frost line and the ball floats around the top of the though. Also put a 800lbs bale of hay in the hay manger for the goats.

Wife just found this. Pancake mix, brownie mix, etc.

And yeah if you get lucky and get them all installed they won't last very long because these batteries do expand and contract as they charge and discharge and yes flexible connectors do help but it's never an end stop they will eventually fail and then you have to replace and rebuild the whole pack

This is exactly why I do not like this battery style I have seen this happen a hundred times not only to myself but multiple other people do not buy batteries like this only by the ones with studs on the top do not buy the ones with bolt holes either Wes can say and tell you they are nothing but a problem also you only want batteries with studs already put in
