Build your own solar powered mesh repeater. $13 for the solar yard light, $35 for the RAK LORA module and a few bucks for an antenna. This guy added some sensors to it like baro pressure which you likely don't need.

Adventure today.... Pump on a 5acre parcel we have tripped out the other day. I turned breaker back on and pump pulled 10amps, all normal. Today found it tripped again. This time it really tripped every time I turned it on. Isolated the 240v line at the pressure switch and it still tripped. So must be a problem with wire under ground. Fortunately we also had a 2nd set of wires run out there for 120v outlet in pump house. Switched that wire over to pump duty and we're off and running.

Augered 6 holes in the ground today for the pole shed. The very first corner post hole shot off crooked. It means I may have ot move all posts over 1/2 a post width.... If I'm careful I can move the string lines over 2-3/4"and maintain the square layout we did the other day. Dug the holes for one side and poured a bag of concrete in the bottom to make a footer pad. Tomorrow I'll mock up a 6x6 post in that boogered up corner and see if I need to change where we auger the 6 holes on the other side of the building.
Nothing goes to plan.

I swear the sun looked bigger when I took this picture. Thinking of starting a new religion. We will be the weslatarians. Sun worshippers. House becomes a church for tax write off, enough food growing for our community. Even a cemetery on site.
You will have the safest property in your county. The local sheriff/police, the fbi, cia and all the other 3 letter agencies will be camped around your property......

Attempting something.... I've aquired two 21' 3" pipes and a 6ft 3" pipe. I've made them into an A frame and put a snatch block at the top. I'll mount an electric winch on the bottom with cable up thru the snatch block. The idea is to make a crane of sorts that I can hold up with the tractor loader and use the winch to hoist up the trusses for the pole barn.
It's gunna work or we're gunna rent a towable manlift.

Did my trench run through the forest today. Had no choice because of the way the path is eroded along the edge of the drill pad, and I didn't want to take down 20 hardwoods to back the path up. Because of where it's located against the fence, it'd be a nightmare to get dirt in there to backfill it.
The roots, man... what a total pain to dig this last stretch. But I'm gonna run a water line out into the forest from here and put a faucet on it to start irrigating my Live Oaks.
I'll finish this up on Sunday, get the lines in, and cover it all up. I think it'll be close to 1400' when done.
