Well, I was working on laying a 4in isolated flexible airpipe to go from the first floor, through an airshaft aside the chimney down to the first floor to heat the ground floor with the stove on the first.floor (our living and bed room). Bought a thermal camera to see results (and winter optimization) but nothing happened. Turned out the pipe had ruptured inside the air duct. Now have to redo the work... At least I do not have to finish it tomorrow

Nice question to ask. As usual too many projects to cover in this short time 😁.
Closing the lower part of the serre for the winter upcoming. Creating a hatch out of too small hinges but these were available. Also made a rack under there to place the double winter windows which are exchanged in the winter for muskito windows from the summer. Working with wood is very fun.
I am also working on making a small duct to displace heat generated by stove on the first floor to the groundfloor. Have some difficulties finding a right thermostat that turns on over a certain temperature. Unfortunately photo upload is not working for me ATM otherwise I would have shared.
I'm curious what type of Statistics monitoring system you aiming for @poVoq. I have ordered a 3.7kw panels + special type inverter for direct heating of a boiler and a secondary boiler/other item. And i am intrigued what the monthly differences are in kWh generation and would like to track those. Only I have no idea what I can hook up between the panels and inverter to log.
It was a nice read although a bit short. I wanted to continue. A very good sign, thanks
Good words, schmorpel. You transcribed my thought exactly as is ;P. Hereby a imaginary photo from also the same type of sunflower I saw today in our garden, aiming towards the north? ( I live in northern hemisphere though).
Some of the packages were eaten out by mice but most Ive cleaned with putting water in and let it soak and flush. Then dried by nature as it was nice weather. Dogs would like to still steal and lick out though 😷
Chickencoop roof ready and have only 14 packages left. I am getting high on milk smell 😅. How do you like this commercial. Still need to staple fence material under it for those too hot days where hot glue is not suitable anymore.
Can you automate the search for a purpose?
Some lessons on the use of milk cartons. We lazily did not clean all milk cartons and mice got through most of them. The mice at the cardboard with aluminum and plastic with the dried up milk bits.. one advantage, the milk has dried up. Now I have cleaned 134 packs and are going to use it to isolate the chicken coop I am going to build. Need 250 packs for inside roof of 3x3m. Will update you once one wall/roof has been built.
Haha, it's an idea 💡
Ive work for a company that develops irrigation equipment solely on water and solarpower. Also we work with smallholder farmere. I am able to learn also how smallholder farmers grow all different foods. To pump with waterpower and solarpower is a bit finiky compared with a fuel pump. We work towards removing the finiky and it is a rewarding goal and the work is very interesting.
Finished the heating duct. Conclusion, do not move heat by air from a stove. It goes too slowly.. I was disappointed on the heat gain. If you ever want to move heat, sigh, use water for more heatcontent to be moved.
I read your projects and see much ambition. Although it cost a lot of time, keep up the good work!
