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!

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.

Good tip @Mike D. I want to make lightpoints for my house and sauna house in near future as it’s get autumn and winter here. So I will now look for a yellow glass screen for these lights. The yellow I also like more for the warmth. Hope I have bought lights with good CRI which have larger color frequency range and give more natural yellow as result

Curious to see the process and generation. Please update us for milestones or better yet energystones.

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

Do not worry too much. Ive seen my dogs eat deer ones which were severely decomposed already. And when it is not good for them or they ate too much they puke. It is natural to let the dog decide for it self though. But yes there could be toxic levels of some elements, if you have animal/human feecees for example. I’m curious on your findings @drk.

Healthy food for a healthy dog. Does the dog clean up afterwards?

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.

If carbon credits gets on globally, then carbon removal is a very cheap symptom solution. But it can work for greedy people. Then a shortage of carbon arises due to the succes of greed. Then some companies are going to mine vulcano’s for their . 😁

Ah I also have ahouse from 1930’s which is mostly wood and gets attacked from many angles, insects, water damage etc. Most of the time it is ‘ignore’ to be able to focus on single projects. If you do one small thing in the house everytime it will be enough right 😅

These orange flowers look really nice now. Have you thought of other ground cover plants instead of grass if you are that allergic? What do you mean with natives? Other plants between the grass?

I do not know about drone shows… arguments posted here are good on ratio, like polluting and the type of ppls involved. But I must confess that all the drone shows I have seen I found quite plain to be honest. Fireworks do still offer more for the senses. Beside the visual, the sound of fireworks is so much more diverse then only the bzzzz of a group bees. The sound delay from fireworks gives much more tension/excitement. The smell is something I also like somehow. All the senses get a bit more to handle which is interesting to watch/listen/smell fireworks.

I think drone shows could learn from that and be way better by combining drones with picoprojectors or combining a lasershow with smoke blasts. Or combine also some fireworks with drones. Maybe place subwoofers on drones and create a sound pallet. There is enough combinations to think of as long as there is some spark.

Aside the droneshow firework show, I totally agree on blocking the egocentric people that blast away with fireworks during a random night or towards people

Indeed, his videos are interesting in that he shows a lot. His laughing makes me impatient sometimes. Also I wonder with an airturbine like that, how does it perform under load. And a flywheel attached would be interesting

Haha, it’s an idea 💡
