Raised garden beds with

sandy rich soil blended with compost, just the right amount of moisture that easily breaks apart after compression.

Too late in the year to plant these trees and also,

I haven't decided where I want them, so I buried them in the compost pile.

I bought all of these at the Amazon Bin store for $40. Crowfoot wrench set, wheel spindle, hyd. pump, and a heavy cabinet/refrigerator wheel set. Like everything else these will go into the asset building.

Space is a premium including wall space, so I mounted two electrical panels on the wall to store assets (stuff).

Making an extension cable for the metal shaper project. This cable will connect the keypad with the Variable frequency drive and the VFD will be mounted remote from the keypad. A most tedious job. The other end will be soldered on after the cable is pushed through the conduit.

I bought this miniature battery power oscilloscope to check the quality of the wave form on my vintage Trace inverter. The plan is to run an electric blanket at night and turn the heat down in the house

till morning insuring a warm comfortable sleep. The manufacturer says the electric blanket cannot be run on an inverter, but I think otherwise if the waveform is pure sine wave. For some reason I can't get the fingerprints off of the display but doesn't affect operation.

I bought this property 42 years ago and this tree was on the property, the tree points toward a stream that flows through our property.

The new additions to the surface grinder is a digital read out, goose neck lamp, and a cool mist system, It could use a dust collection system but I'm going go ahead and put the done stamp on this project. Still pecking away on the shaper project.

For some reason the parsnips are alive and well, surviving the cold. Irrigation system for raised beds, solar powered DC pump, 300gal water in ground tank, 2000gal tank above ground. Pump water from ground tank to above ground tank, pressure from tank waters raised beds.

My gate project moving along with other projects in background, so to speak. Highlights, 8"x19' vertical stainless pipe to mount gate and hinges on. Stainless rectangle tubing to fab 6ft high x 17ft long gate. Two front car spindles and 1 1/2" all thread to fab two hinges for gate. This is a big, strong, heavy gate. More details to come in the future but this will be an ongoing project. Because of the size and weight of the gate some type of bearings were the best choice for hinges, front car spindles were cheap, dependable, and low friction. More photos to follow after I fab the hinges.
