Funniest thing just happened.... Wife shouts from kitchen: Have you seen a cardboard sleeve I made? Did you throw it away?

Me:yeah, it was on the counter and I was cleaning up.

Her:why would you throw that away, couldn't you tell that was cut to a specific shape? Didn't you think it had a purpose? It's the cover for the spaetzle press.

Me: why don't you label it so I know.

Her: FINE! You are such a dumbass sometimes.... OK... how do you spell "spaetzle"

We finished the end walls of the green house today. I installed extra corner brackets on all the 2" square tubing joints. Sorry , no pictures today. We also peeled all the protective plastic off the coroplast doors and hung four doors. And the last thing was installing some catches to stop the doors from sliding off the end of the tracks.

Tomorrow we will install the corrugated poly on the end walls and hopefully the flashing trim and wiggle wire tracks.

I've mentioned this before but it's worth mentioning again. A guy around here built a butlers pantry on the back side of the kitchen. He super insulated the room and put the heatpump water heater inside it. The heatpump water heater makes hot water and exhausts cool air as if it was a small airconditioner. So the pantry off his kitchen stays about 60F 12C. The cool air is a free byproduct of taking showers and using hot water.

Additionally, he made the access door to the butler pantry a hidden door. This shelf is the access to the pantry

Thanks @masterbrains

Great tip for your speed square as a saw guide.

Ended up going to neighbor's house to help him with wrapping up his solar project. Finalized the wiring in the shipping container that is his mech room... we have a 50amp feeder from his meter base to the mech room that's fed from utility for emergency use, and we have a 100amp feeder going back to his house.

Modified his panel box today to have a transfer switch, took about 30-45 minutes to install some new 4/0 alumumim SE rated cable... that stuff is stiff. So now his house has a transfer swtich to go between solar inverter power and utility grid.

Carried his four 16kwh batteries out to the mech room and got his inverters powered on. They are not programmed to be split phase YET but they did power on and make 120v each.

While I was finalizing the wiring inside the mech room, he was pulling 10AWG THHN in conduits going to 6 columns of solar panels. Each column is 4 panels in series on one face of his roof and 4 panels in series on the other face of the roof. Those panels are combined to make a 4s2p set of panels an there are 6 sets of these. He's getting the wires into the mech room tonight.

Batteries we put in service today. 64kwh.

Two different times now... we"ve found this little heifer INSIDE the hay ring. It cracks me up every time.  😂 She's always looking at me like.. "Hey... can you help me out here?" She has no problem finding her way IN but seems completely at a loss on how to get back out. Lol. She's a sweet little Jersey though. I pick the ring up and she walks out and lives me a couple of times, as if to say "thank you" and moves on to grazing.

We honestly deserve the upcoming collapse 😔
