Time to replace the off grid batteries? free land for homesteading
Are you interested in starting a homestead? Let me know in the comments section!
If you're interested in the inverter I'm trying, here's the link:
www.vevor.com/pure-sine-wave-inverter-c_10760/vevor-pure-sine-wave-inverter-power-inverter-3500w-dc12v-to-ac120v-inverter-lcd-p_010526241990?lang=en&currency=usd&shortkey=20240811h8XB
So, we shall see how long these batteries will last at the off grid homestead. A lot is happening within the next year and I hope we will be able to get it all done.
This is all a diy homesteading channel that I hope inspires you to go off grid, provide your own power using solar, wind, etc... and eventually become self sufficient.
Here is a list of free land from a quick search I did.
All these towns have requirements to getting one of these lots, so call and ask questions before you pack up your life and move there.

A cheap Home Depot refrigerator for off grid use?
zhlédnutí 99Před 4 měsíci
In this video, we remove the 38 year old Propane fridge and replace it with a cheap 10.1 cuft 110 volt fridge. The results are surprising. This fridge is only $329 at Home depot and we got it for $50 off since it was a display model and had some dings in it. Here is the fridge if you're curious about it: www.homedepot.com/p/Vissani-10-1-cu-ft-Top-Freezer-Refrigerator-in-White-MDTF10WH/317371472...

    I replaced the propane fridge in my sons trailer with a fridge just like the one you have. Fit in the spot nice and tight. Getting the propane fridge out the door of the trailer was a PITA. I had to remove the trim from the fridge. That shit is glued on with some super strong glue. I have since sold that trailer. The trailer I live in, the propane fridge broke about a 6 months ago. I have not removed it yet but I do have a fridge that is way too big(double the size) to fit where the old was was. It takes up a bit of room but it sure is nice to have double the space in the fridge.

    • @WindwalkerHomestead
      @WindwalkerHomestead Před 4 měsíci

      Thus one was a couple inches narrower, 2 inches deeper and about 10 inches taller. There was a drawer under where the old fridge was that I cut out to make the space tall enough. The surprising part about this fridge is that it does very well on our solar setup. The old fridge barely fit out the door. Scraping the door frame on the way out. I wish I had recorded more of the removal and actual installation

If I could save you any trouble, I will definitely offer my advice. I have 11 kW of solar and 34 kWh of battery and I have like six charge controllers paralleled to my main direct current bus. Good luck and happy YouTubing!

  • @MaritimeHomesteader
    @MaritimeHomesteader Před 4 měsíci

    Hello I didn’t watch the entire video so maybe you addressed this but the charge controllers should have adequate ventilation available as they get warm when running and the fans will be starving for air if it’s a sealed box. Just a suggestion but I would cut some vents in on the underside and also on the back near the top. The small 2” diameter round vent covers would work. Two on underside and two on the back near the top.

    • @WindwalkerHomestead
      @WindwalkerHomestead Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you. I do plan on cutting a hole in the box and putting in an air filter for the intake and a vent on top for the exhaust. Once the inverter and battery charger go in, there will be no way around it

  • @michaelchownyk5255
    @michaelchownyk5255 Před 4 měsíci

    Epever charge controllers are not supposed to be horizontal. They are supposed to be mounted vertically on the wall so that the heat can convict upwards. Also, your mounting location is far too small for that equipment. It will overheat for sure. Plus the breakers will start cooking.

    That EPEVER 80A is actually rated at 138V VOC. Its 150V at the "lowest temperature" you would experience. But solar panel labels are generally for nominal conditions so the 37V VOC on the solar panels x 4 = 148V, is too high. In cold temperatures the VOC of that solar string can easily exceed 150V. You will need to reconfigure the string a bit. I would consider paralleling two strings of 2 panels each. Buy a little solar combiner box to parallel the two strings together. I really like the little "Eco-worthy 4 string PV combiner" boxes. Check the fuse rating for the strings... I think that combiner box comes with 10A fuses, you might need 15A fuses with residential panels. But usually 10A is fine (per string). I don't recommend sitting the charge controller or batteries or anything else on the ground. Those are a bit too-exposed to the elements. Consider making a box for the equipment, with a solid lid, that won't let any water in that you can raise off the ground a bit. It's best to have a sealable box to reduce moisture issues but anything is better than sitting the equipment on the ground. Moisture can ruin the breakers, inverter, charge controller, etc. It won't last when exposed like that. -Matt

    • @WindwalkerHomestead
      @WindwalkerHomestead Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you. I did read that part of the specs, but they can also handle 150% of the rated values. At most, the controller will limit the amount of power coming in. Ive already had that one hooked up all winter and its survived so far. They are also used panels, so they are only rated 75-80% of new.

      Sorry this took so long. YT didn't send me a notification that you commented. Typically, they seem to last a year. Being a mechanic was the reason why I got it in the first place. The warranty is easy, though. Just tell your tool guy and he should just exchange it. My most recent light lasted 2 years and now, I have the new 500 lumen one, so we will see if it's any better

    I’ve been abusing my pen light for almost 10 years. It’s a stream light stylus pro. The new stream light micro stream is rechargeable and does 250 lumens. Streamlight has a clone of the Hp3r in the form of a stylus pro rechargeable plus sized. I’ve had nothing but good experiences out of streamlight. I just bought an hp3r. Hopefully it lasts for me. I’ve also run an olight eos 2. Pretty good edc light for the money. 18.99

      They are decent lights. I just had to do a return on mine and they gave me an updated one with 500 lumens. I've been checking it out for the past few weeks. Seems to have been updated a bit in design, too. Hopefully things are just getting better for it. I'm waiting till their website to update before I make a video about this one

    If I recall when I replaced mine,98, there was a smaller o ring as well that caused a leak resulting in doing the job twice. I remember when we changed our thermostats twice a year,winter and summer and it was a 15 minute job. Also consider checking ECT sensor. Engine coolant temperature sensor. That’s what my problem was to begin with. 5 different mechanics didn’t discover the problem because it didn’t show up on any code readers.

      Wow. That's really interesting. This one didn't have a second o ring. Did it have 2 sensors? I know some vehicles had a sensor that was for a Guage and another that was for the ecu. I just diagnosed one like that a few weeks ago

      You're welcome. If it helps more, I still use it almost every day

    How does the choke cable go in? This is my last step and I don't wanna fuck it up.

    • @WindwalkerHomestead
      @WindwalkerHomestead Před 9 měsíci

      I wish I could remember. If it wasn't buried so deep, I'd say just try it one way and if it doesn't to work, try a different way. It won't be that easy to fuck it up. I would think that at worst, you would have a backwards choke. I'd go ahead, hook it up how you think it goes, work the choke lever and see if the choke blade moves open and closed how it should. I wish I could help more

      @WindwalkerHomestead I got it installed, but it seems like the plunger doesn't seat the whole way in the carb. The original choke would stay open when the lever was pulled. This one opens and just retracts.. It runs fine after I adjusted the idle. I'm just gonna roll with it if there are no issues. Thanks for the reply.

      That is kinda weird. I'll have to pay attention when I do it again and do some better camera angles and such. Fir thus video, I just did a simple rebuild. It won't run again, so I'm just gonna replace it with a new one and redo a video. I'm glad you got it running

    Toro, sold by Amazon, has a Briggs engine and is about the same price. Rural King, Lowes, Tractor Supply and Troy Built all have string trimmers. I did videos on this trimmer @ T wagner CZcams with the Viper engine.

    Can you tell me the size of the sandpaper that fits into the sander? Iknow it's 1/3 sheet, but how many inches?

    • @WindwalkerHomestead
      @WindwalkerHomestead Před 9 měsíci

      It would be about 3 and 2/3 inches by 9 inches. The full sheet being 9x11. If they make a 4x9 sheet, or something close, that's what I'd use if buying purpose cut sheets
