Good morning!!!!

THat's great! What kind of glue did you use? Must be good to hold a fan blade.

Cyanoacrylate, but the 'super thick' specialty kind from a hobby store. Far better stuff than the typical 'crazy glue' from Wally World.
The blade broke leaving a bit of a flange that the glue could hold onto, making it a little stronger bond.

Inside project completed! Fans are working great! Super quiet, which was the result we were after.

These fans are used as a "room to room" transfer fans. They create a nice circulation of the pellet stove heat. Without them, the back of the house gets much cooler.

The first set were 110v AC, but only small 120mm. These are twice the air movement, 200mm diameter, 12v DC. The AC ones were about 5 years old and were starting to make a high pitched whine. Started to get annoying when it was quiet in the house.

Hopefully, these will last a long time. They are rated at 60K hours.

Wind still ripping. Had a few really strong gusts. Don't see any branches down yet. Only hit 40° but seems a lot colder with the wind.

Well I had a bit of a reality check today while working on my building plans.
A good friend that’s a builder was asking me about who was going to build it. When I told him that I was going to GC it and do what I felt like, he suggested that I was nuts, and that I would never be able to follow any kind of schedule or keep a budget with the availability of quality subs. We talked about it for a while, and I think that I have to agree with him. Next, I had to talk him into taking on the project, which isn’t a certainty in his mind, but I think that he will. I could work with him doing what I wanted to, and he would pick subs accordingly that could work with me in their way. Realistically, this way, the project would move forward with or without me, and I would have a good handle on timing and cost. He at least took a set of plans to give me some budget numbers.
I spent a large portion of the afternoon with him, but did get out in the little plane with my son for a while, putting it away just after sunset.

Tomorrow morning I’ve got to get out early and go to Ogdensburg, NY first thing in the morning. We are going to have to wait there most of the day. There is nothing that I’m aware of to keep us occupied there. Perhaps we’ll get a car and venture across the St Lawrence into Canada and do some exploring. Or, what ever else we might come up with.

Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Good luck on Plan "B"!

You may not be on the fast track but sounds like you are on the Right Track!

I should try something like that to pull heat from my pellet stove.

Took a short hike today, only 1.2 miles downhill, but then had to come back up. Interesting scenery. Need to do more hiking.

Spent the afternoon in the garden.
Litte EGO tiller attachment to my edger fluffed up the raised bed nicely. Added some manure and coffee grounds before tilling.
The green house crew has been busy.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 18° with some fog this morning. Heading to 43° with sunny skies in afternoon. Did not get to limbs leftover from previous storms. Did get weight box not tractor and filled with rocks. Helped neighbor move more wood to his burn pile. Not sure what I will get done today. Always limbs to move.

Don, great spring pictures of gardens.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low temp i 24 and going to a high of 34°F. Wind W 7 mph. Mix of sun and cloud.

I'm not sure what I will get into today. Probably conserve energy.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
drier weather has arrived, cooler nights and warmer sunny days.

lots to do today but have to wake up first.
Popgadget, with your flying I think having a GC makes sense. Particularly if he has any skills or connections you don't.
You will set the standards no matter what.
great use for my/your favorite Makita blower. I used the larger one to start burn piles on the farm.
that little blower is just so perfect for cleaning out engine compartments, all the bugs that get under your generator, etc.

Don, wonderful pics of veggies, sure looks nice. I'm envious of your longer grow season but shows how important greenhouses
or cold frames are. That's a lot of basil. There will be good red sauce in Texas soon!
these little plants are now 3 to 6 bucks a piece around here, assuming you enjoy the process, growing your own
saves a lot of money once the initial expense is over.

I'm still vacillating on where to put my greenhouse. I watched the sun yesterday carefully and the place near the garage I wanted
was till in shade at 12:30pm. No. Even with sun changing positions during summer, I want more morning light. That means out in the open
so yesterday I was moving bird feeders to see how it will work. The floor to begin with will be lawn, not sure about that; remember in NC I covered the floor with porous plastic grating and that worked great for spills. But I don't want this spot permanent because my hopes are next year to have a real
greenhouse built at a different location. I can go up to 100sf without a permit and I intend to max that out.
power/flowers to the people....

Ken and a young friend are coming over around lunchtime today to help me build this thing. It may take ten minutes, doesn't look complicated but instructions clearly said to have two helpers. Interesting. If that goes quickly, maybe we can work on the rv engine cover. At least it will be sunny
and nice out.

have a nice Sunday everyone.
