SWMBO approves of my garden makeover.



But will she approve of what she will only see on her return.

Do you really vacuum-clean the lawn?!

Do you really vacuum-clean the lawn?!

I do at the moment as I've dropped quite a few small stones and some small bits of compacted clay on it from my works.

Third Victron charge controller wired in, I already had this from experiments a while back so no extra cost, its now a triple decker with active cooling.



Final position for the reused panels, I was going to put 3 across on the shingle bed but I don't think it would look right, so I put the 3rd panel back were it came from against the back fence.



New panels now in operational service, I still have the rear fence panel to wire up but that should be done in the next hour. These panels are 60V panasonic panels so each panel can be wired in parallel with the charge controller.

Well past the tipping point for neutral carbon living.

I'll have a count in a few weeks.

Ouch , I was doing some angle grinding in improving my gardens drainage but accidently ground partly though one of my SWA's.

Luckily its hardly grazed the first layer of insulator after the metal strands.

It will be immersed in water in when its wet , but I'm hoping plenty of self amalgamating tape will suffice.

[AGT]

Yes , agree amalgamating tape is the way forward for this repair!

Lucky escape there Nowty, could have been a fair bit worse.
