We return to the off grid cabin in the woods after a long break. We stain the cedar wainscoting in the bathroom. I make outlet covers and an instrument panel for all of our digital displays. Consolidating ammeters, Victron BMV-712 and thermometers in one place. I stay overnight and complete the project in the morning. There are lots of cool tips for DC wiring in your off grid cabin.
