To the shock of absolutely no one who has been paying attention.

Mmm schadenfreude
Thank you for the primer! I find it very interesting and you've certainly given me plenty of things to research and learn more about.
I think my biggest goal is actually power stability but the cheaper power bill would be a welcome bonus. In my new shop the table saw seems to trip it's little built in circuit breaker a lot more often when it is cutting thick hardwood than it did in my old shop. Unless the blade is sharp as shit resawing on the table saw is a distant memory lol.
I think it's because the run from the road to the house main is a long run and then from the house main 60 amps is routed out to the shop which is another long run out to the shops breaker box. Then from there I use a 25 ft 12 awg extension cord to power the saw and dust collector via an automatic vacuum switch. The saw very rarely tripped at the old house when the total run from the road to the saw was less than 50 feet and I never did it any favors. But now that it is hundreds of feet away from the source I think the voltage drops off and it over heats and trips the sawstops little breaker.
I hope that made sense, I'm a carpenter not an electrician lol. What I think I need is a battery set up for the shop that acts like a giant Uninterruptible Power Supply to combat the "dirty" power and put the saw closer to the source. The ability to power a hybrid solar/dehumidifier kiln in the future from the shop without sacrificing power reliability would also be something I would want to consider.
Thank you again for the write up on your setup!
I recently got a bluetti for off grid onsite work and it has awoken something in me. It's like carrying a wall outlet around with you, absolutely incredible.
Needless to say I think I have caught the bug. Where would you point a feller who wanted to walk your path and learn more?
My wife was a Keep freak and I was able to get her to switch over to Jotty. It is self hosted though.
Wow! Not the one I thought it would be
14 by Peter Clines is phenomenal and right up your alley. It is the first of a series and I think the second one is best and 3rd one is completely optional to read as far as the over arching plot.
SUPER weird book. Highly recommend.
Cedar trees will grow fucking anywhere lol
Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing
Lol this guy doesn't know



That's not really something that had to be leaked. I would categorize it as common knowledge.
