We have burned through twice the wood that we usually burn since the 3rd week of November. Good thing is usually the ground isn't frozen this time of the year for plowing snow, making a mess. This year it has been frozen solid the 3 times I have had to plow snow. Definitely below normal temps.

My Mother in law 😆.

I always had a mixed bag of chinese impact sockets and found a complete set of 1/2" in a packout on clearance last year at Home Depot for $99 bucks. Grabbed it and no longer spend hours searching for the right socket. Having a kit forces me to keep them all together. That, my digital torque...

I thought the computer and Alibre were for 3D printing 🤔.

I love my Hypertherm. Great warranty support when it had an issue. I have miles of cuts on it in my cnc table and also have a hand torch that swaps out in seconds.

Only $2500 for the xp12000. The rest were what I started with for backups. $9k of batteries if I bought them all though. It's a fun learning experience and so far I have survived.

I took a couple pics in my solar backup power shed.

Maybe it should start with, building a 2500 pound capacity elevator 🤔. Or possibly end with a divorce 😬.
