We rented a back hole to dig the ditch for the propane line from the cabin out to the tank. Also used it to work on my grey water system. Cleared some more of the briars, shrubs and blackberries that were near the cabin. Cleared about 2 acres of our land so it is more accessible and cleared more of our fence line so we can get that installed.We put in 150 foot of black iron gas line and all the stub ups and connected them to 2 space heaters and our stove. This all was tested by the propane company and they found ZERO leaks. We are running the instant on Marey 3.1 gpm hot water heater off a 40 lb tank until we get all that permanent. Plumbed up the shower properly now. It has a standard valve setup with controls and a water saver shower head. It was so nice to be able to take a normal shower and adjust the water with just the controls instead of having to go adjust the temperature on the hot water heater. We cleaned out both lofts. Moved the old battery bank out to my utility room and moved all the 12 volt power out to the utility room. ALL power is out there now. One central location for me to do maintenance at now. We got all my tools and stuff out in the utility room and installed shelving and did a complete cleaning and arrangement of everything out there. It still needs a little work but its 90% better than it was. Rosa was able to store things up in the loft now. Rosa did a major cleaning and packing, storing and getting things put in there place. The cabin is so much easier to get around in now. Things are in there place. Still need to build more shelving and closet but its getting there.We mounted the space heaters and re-arranged the bathroom a bit to make it easier to move around in. Found a NEW fresh water spring on property and we will get to work on building a small pond beside it to help collect water there. With rain collection, our creek and this spring water is plentiful. Plus we are working on getting ready to dig a hand dug shallow well to help out and saving up for a deep well dug by a well digger. Just got to find a good diviner. Wired up both sides of the freedom 2 pmg from MW&S to our main battery bank. Boy it was putting out serious amps with all the high winds we were getting. averaging 10 amps mostly but did see a few spikes (gust) of 50 amps being put into the batteries. You can’t go wrong with this turbine.
