If you don't have time for all the videos in the series, skip to the last one for the summary of his final setup plus battery bank and inverter setup. I want to do this.

The intro of the video tells me this guy would be a good asset on my forum. Fixes old shit instead of throwing it away? Come on in.

Maybe we should come up with projects that would solve a problem, and we could post the steps to make the project. It would be a little more proactive than waiting for stuff to break and posting the repair. It is also easier to document. I find that a lot of times if I am repairing something, it is something I need to get fixed so I am pressed for time and am usually filthy and not as inclined to use my phone to take pictures.

waiting for stuff to break and posting the repair.

Good news. Between cars and homes, I don't think we'll be waiting long.

But seriously, it's true. I have tried to take more pictures when doing some jobs. Often I just end up trying to use words to describe something and I think people tend to prefer pictures.

If you had a real project, I guess you could put it in the Energy section.
