Well, you see why I prefer solar PV. Not a moving part in sight! I'm a coward re anything with a bearing and movement...

The periodic maintenance tip still holds though, even with PV and indeed software.

Glad you caught it before it decided to try for nuclear fusion.

yeah, this mill does a good job, and powers everything in my small work area. But ultimately it is a test run so I can learn before I put up a big one.

By the way, got a call from the building inspector. He said to come by and get my permit tomorrow! Yay! I spec'd out a 10 foot genny. I won't build one that big any time soon, but I didn't want to risk a change of political winds, etc.

Oh, and he said I should have submitted my photo with the screaming woman. He said it sounded funny. :)

er uh.......how long is the permit good for?

Around here a building permit is only good for the year it's issued.....and if you haven't built anything you need to get another one.....

Not really sure on that (not in hand yet). This is really me and the building inspector covering our butts. He'd originally said "Yeah, just go ahead and do it. I wouldn't have even asked." But we're getting a proper permit just in case someone has a problem with it in the future.
