yesterday the wife’s choir people came up to our mountain property and helped us dig a trench and lay some water pipe for the future house. they are exceptionally helpful people and we made good progress.

a while ago i did my first off-grid welding:

and this week’s video is about assembling a cargo carrier for the car. we need to get fuel for the generator and i refuse to transport these gasoline bombs inside the car. the cargo carrier solves that issue.

these are pressure treated posts. usually they last a long time in concrete in our area and climate. especially for such setups that are temporary (we will likely start building a house there in a few years, so the post in the video is a temporary one) · 1 year ago

Hey, just took a look at "How to set a straight post using Quickrete". Won't concrete "burn" your post? How long would wood last with such setup? Il usually set a metal base in conrete and attach wooden parts above so wood is a bit more protected from water (and can be easily replaced when needed). · 1 year ago
