We’re in that same weather pattern up here, though they’re getting even more rain north of us. If that holds, it will be a VERY snowy winter and a lot of businesses can recoup losses from last year’s winter drought.
Rain starting here again at 2pm. We got a full inch day before yesterday. This one looks like a soaker, too. :( I got the lawn mowed yesterday, so there’s that. :)
Two little boys were here Thursday evening and were absolutely FASCINATED with the rain barrel and how it worked, so I ‘Tom Sawyered’ them into filling up a dozen milk jugs for me. They had a blast.
Once the sun gets down behind the trees, the rain gauge is going on it’s post and being connected to the system.
Most electrical enclosures have a panel you can buy for them that stands off the back on the inside so you can screw things to it as opposed to making holes in the enclosure. I have an 18x36” shelf from a heavy duty shelving unit I can use in the old fridge for that. Then I’ll have something to screw DIN rail to which is what the controllers snap on to and can also screw shelf brackets on it to add 2-3 shelves for whatever.
All that’s not happening tonight. For now, I’m just setting the big controller in there. I can only have one controller out there for now — only one network cable. That’ll change someday but the big controller will do everything I need for a while.
Aww geez, just got windy and dark like it’s gonna rain. Might not get the rain gauge up after all. LOL - A few little blobs in the radar including one headed right for us. Cooling off nicely already.
