Supplies For The Off Grid Project And Many Packages Arrived
It was payday so I took a ride into town for some badly needed supplies for the off grid homestead. One of the stops along the way was Harbor Freight where I got a 1 ton hydraulic engine hoist. This is a hydraulic lift crane which I will use to pull the forklift batteries out of their metal case.
I also picked up most of the materials that I need to mount assemble the wind turbine tower. I have some power cables as well to get the wind turbine up in the air finally.
I have some guy wires, nuts and bolts for the tower framework. I have some 12 gauge wire and plug ends to run the power from the wind turbine down to the tiny house on wheels.
The only thing I still need to get is the clamps for the guy wires and for the pole which will be on top of the tower.
I also picked up some protective gear and hardware to get the forklift batteries out of their case so I can use them in my off grid solar home.
Since it was Christmas Eve, many packages arrived all at one time.
I opened a few of them tonight on camera for now.
One of the packages is an awesome bluetooth speaker from Lumsing. This is an amazing looking device at first glance. I will be doing a full review on this product soon so stay tuned. You can find Lumsing here: http://www.lumsing.com
I have been struggling with my old golf cart batteries which seem to be getting weaker although I am running my Harbor Freight 800 watt generator day and night to power a battery charger in an attempt at keeping the batteries topped off. Somehow they are losing power though no matter what I do.
They will soon be replaced anyway when my new forklift battery comes. I will have a 12 volt 680 watt forklift battery for my off grid solar tiny house.
Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
