Afternoon folks:).

Glad I got another wood load up from the store on Sunday, Monday was rainy turned to snow. Today we wake to only a couple of inchs (that's about 50mm to the metric youngsters) and the wind is cold so the outside temp is something minus stupid (probably double figures) and I am not about to stand outside wif my fermometer, So we have been stoking the fire and looking out the windows from the warmth :).

Not much getting done here really;).

Ended up getting two x 100ah cheapo from Autolite, maybe wont get 200 ah but anything over 100 will do for lights TV water pump and fridge.

At 160 quid for two they should last a couple of years by which time van will be going anyway, another point is that they fit easily under my passenger seat because they are designed to go there,

I'll know if they're ok when I do my first show at the end of May :)

Elecy fridges are not cheap on juice so watch out.

About to make some leads up for my leisure batteries

Going to connect batteries together + to + and - to -

Then take plus off one battery and minus from the other to go to the inverter

Then plus off the second (other) battery and minus from the first (one) to go to the solar panels 🤔 🤔

First freebee of 2024, I found an damaged outboard in the yard that had been sitting on top of a banking.
Someone had pushed it over with one of the machines and it got forgotten about.
Pulled it out & showed it to the yard owner he said if I want to sell it I'll split it with me...
Quick 700 sovs.....boom :cool: :cool:
