Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

This monster turned up today... Delta max 1600 not the newest tech but it was very much the right price to say it's manufacturer refurbished there's not a mark on it and it smells new the fans are spotlessly clean etc Screenshot_20240327-202027.png That's my power needs sorted for a good while if I...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

I'm only half impressed with my palletbuster because it splits so many planks. Did anyone ever s olve that? It's sooooo satisfying to dismantle a stack of wombled pallets. ...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

Floor definitely needs to be raised 3” min. It’ll outlast you that way. Great. I don't want us having to rebuild again when we are in our 70's. I could kick myself, because it's only rotted where soil was in contact, but that was 3 sides. I know it was raised 3" originally, because for two yea...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

Pallet wood is generally as good as most..... Apart from being a bit rough sawn, I think it'll do. We'll cherry pick the best pieces and soak them in 'something' :lol: .. for flooring / joists on a shed your wanting uc4 treatment... Is that OSB board stuff suitable? Seems cheapish. I think when the...

Pallet Wood quality Question

Calling all Pallet busting, shed building, wombles. Will Pallet wood last? Our 8'x6' shed is in a bit of a state of decay. It was one of hubbies custom projects, back when we had money and it has lasted very well. Nice overlapped wood. However, the tongue and groove floor has rotted around the edges...

Re: Solar panel bargain...

Little testing done today ... Spring sunshine it's pushing 109w happily enough about 20 when it clouded over Impressive. I'd never expect to get anywhere near 90% of rating in this country. Andy, do you have any higher rating panels such as 350W? And can the eco-flow transition up to >30V panels?
