• Neverending Story: Upcoming Projects 😍

  #home automation #electricity #water #project Dream #Arduino Shelli #Netlify #edge computing

  It’s important not to become unemployed, so there’s always something in the back of my mind that could be improved. Some people actually think that’s fun 😄 Here’s a list of things I’ll never finish, but that I hope to get started on in the coming months. I just need to renovate the house first, catch up on some online courses, and become a better person, and then I’ll probably get it done 😶(The seas)

  After talking to the last people who rented the cabin, I realized that quite a few people actually find it kind of fun to read about the technical stuff we do, and I see that I’ve actually forgotten to write anything about one of the bigger infrastructure upgrades I’ve done recently. So I’ve put together aA short photo story in Google Photosfrom the transport of pumps by snowmobile in the winter of 2024 to the full operation of the heat cables with pumping on November 30, 2024.

• 220V in the outlet

  #electricity #electrician #upgrade

  This weekend, I had an electrician go over all the electrical work I’d done myself this summer. It wasn’t enough for him to just check that everything was OK: he ended up opening up the wall and running all the exposed cables inside it. Suddenly, all the holes in the exterior wall and the 30 meters of cable running out from and under the cabin were no longer necessary… whoops, Swiss cheese for nothing 🙈

• A Year of Upgrades

  Summer is over, and we’ve wrapped up a bunch of small projects. Between having to set up a backup toilet solution last year and the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the country, we ended up spending a lot of time at the cabin this summer. Among the most important things we took care of:

• County Governor of Viken: No to wind turbines

  #wind power #solar panels #electricity

  From October to February, we struggle with the fact that, for long periods, very little sunlight reaches our solar panels. The sun’s angle is much lower, so less energy is captured; there are fewer hours of sunlight per day; there are fewer days with blue skies and sunshine; and the solar panels tend to get covered in snow. All in all, this means that a typical week in December can yield as little as 5%–10% of a typical week in July. The only way to compensate for this is to charge the batteries using our generator—which is both noisy and causes some complications when it comes to renting out the property.

  Ida and 5-month-old Oskar

  We had a lot of visitors this week, but more than anything else, the week was filled with a lot of odd jobs (as usual).
