All Things West Virgina Semi-Off-Grid

The raccoon tear these things up. This needs a slightly larger solar panel but that would only give the critters more opportunity to destroy something until I can figure out something to put on the line so they can't get to it.

The factory exhaust won't work with the blower housing that close to the engine. But getting the outlet further away and facing away really cuts down on the noise level from the mower.

The DIY exhaust is complete, installed, working and in use !

Sometimes these projects go smoothly. This engine was on the used Trac Vac I bought. When I bought it, I had in my head, that engine will need replaced soon, that was 12 years ago. This is the first real maintenence I've had to do. Exhaust replacement/ upgrade to follow.

Renogy solar panels, Renogy Inverter / Charger, Renogy charge controller, deep cycle lead acid batteries. Grid tied like an RV, but always running off the batteries.

Finally set up the solar panel, charge controller, battery and Edison Lights in the treehouse.

One of the many projects put on hold due to GR's cancer diagnosis

Always fixing something in the hills.
