We finally decided to get out of the cookie-cutter HOA neighborhood life and move to the country where we can have animals, gardens and much more to help us be more sustainable. Join us as we learn as we grow from owning and raising chickens, goats, holland lop bunnies, reviewing products you may need for your homestead, trying recipes and just having fun with our NEW norm on the farm.
So I had a question about this. I want to try to power shed but will this need the power from within the home to be able to use it? like what exactly did you use to connect this?
I have an extension cord running from my barn to the shed using this port. When not in use I disconnect. The plan is still to put a permanent underground wiring but for now this works like a charm!
Thanks for the education, didn’t feel like paying an electrician, just run an extension cable to the shed along the fence, out of sight out of mind. The outlet is GFCI so if anything gets over used it will pop, should be good enough for me and safety
Why not just plug your surge protector into the extension cord that u are running to this waste of money? This us just another break in the wire to lose power and amps
You're asking why he doesn't just run it through the door so that its in the way and he can't properly shut it? I mean, you do what you want to your shed but this is a clean install.
Looked at these two but since i already had one Langstroth hive I figured it was easiest to stick with this setup. Do u feel like u have lot of honey loss with flow when it drains or seem To capture most of it?
Finally got these. Got the one with the plug and other with dual cords for interior. Idea is run ext cord from the pool pump outlet ( had electricians run 20A buried wire to Pool already). 1770 Run 12/3 ext cord to shed so just plug in now. Have a second outlet for a Cobra street light which plugs into the female outlet from the other end. For now the cords run above ground but run thru 2" PVC. So far the PVC withstood TX sun, weed wacker, mower, and 2 ice storms. Idea is to run a buried line from the 20A but this is TX, you are not hand digging buried wire. LOL. Trencher a must. So far the cords are working fine and the PVC has provided a sturdy temp protection until a trench is made. Like these plugs because if I want to change out the way run or cord size I simply unplug VS unhook wires and things change so if shed gets relocated other changes we are not locked into a line buried here so have to plan around that. A good 12/3 cord 75' still allows good watts and amps without heating and tool lag. Using a 14 I can tell the difference. I moved my DIY street lamp 14' with the potlet plug in shed I easily unplug it and run the cord and pvc housing to the shed, shorter ext cord too. If buried line it would cost to move it.
First year I did just like you with the staples only - the wind tore it apart. This year I’ve got wood blocks for reinforcement also. Fingers crossed that it holds with this arctic blast coming!🤞🏻🐓❤
Yah the wood blocks worked great.. make sure to uses screws to be able to easily remove them. Other option is wiggle wire track like used for green houses.
I was trying and trying with my Costco Foodsavor fm29 and gave up, I instead used a handheld thing. What did you seal? So then we don't need oxygen absorbers? Can we seal freeze dry goods in these mason jars is the same with no oxygen absorbers? Anyone know?
Thank you thank you thank you!! We were about give up on these small jars…ok not really but certainly very frustrated!! This was an absolute life saver. No we didn’t know this either till now.
That works, and I use that same basic product in a portable power station I built, but for a shed located quite a distance from the house we found that a couple solar panels, charge controller, inverter and LFP battery was the way to go.
@@ArturoTheDrummer - I can't remember exactly, but probably somewhere just under $1,000 for everything. Would be even cheaper, today, with the way costs have fallen on some of this stuff.
Sorry if this is a reallly dumb question, but are you serious? About the break bleeder working? I’m just starting to learn about canning and air sealing cans, and I have no idea what I’m doing yet, so I’m trying to figure out what equipment I have to buy, vs what I can go without. I have break bleeding tools (husband is a mechanic). Were you being sarcastic or serious?
@AKshootingARs yes it works well I pump my jars down to 20 psi theirs a few other videos of people using them to get better seals ,cause the food savers don't pump enough air out an seals can break .
I was looking into getting one of these to scan my small dog if pregnant, the probe you show, is that for the stomach or rectal, for your goats, I don't want rectal? Is this the 3.5 or 6.5 Mhz kit, you are showing in this video? I can't find anywhere, where it shows types and names of probes or scanner GOYOJO accessories
I get what you are doing…but until you have full power permanently installed, and since you’re running an extension cord to this installed outlet, why not just run a heavy duty cord every time? What am I missing here?
If your second lid is also sealing, I saw another video where they put the top one on upside down. Bottom one still sealed just fine but the top one obviously slid right off to be used on the next one.
