Taking my grid tie solar and making it off grid

I've got some more seeds sown and last night we bought another mini-greenhouse and dh put it up. Now I can put seedlings outside and have more room indoors to do more sowing.

Absolutely brilliant! I am also getting sprouts on my pumpkin plants that I have been growing in toilet roll tubes as seed planting pots.

I put a DIY Night Vision setup together for my air rifle. I'm quite chuffed with it. I got the idea from a thread on an airgun forum, and so required little skill on my part. Currently it has a basic 4" screen, but I've just received a mini recordable unit with a 2.5" screen, so I'll be hooking that up next. Cool!

Have whittled myself a slingshot catapult frame for flatbands from a piece of bed slat. It looks rough as buggery but shoots accurate as a great pocket-able ITT shooter with home made flatbands made from cut down tubes. Tapered body to make it a good side shooter. So now I have one for each kind of bands (black widow for tubes, cheap metal from from dealextreme for loops padded with rubber and leather to give it body, plus the home made for flatband/resistance bands) that one can get so that the likelihood that I am gonna run out of "powder" is very slim.
It works. Gotta order some proper theraband gold to get used to shooting it properly.

Integrated Bulk Container: Basically a big tank on a pallet with a cage around. It's stackable and can be moved by forklift so it's used to transport all kinds of liquids or dry goods. Can be bought secondhand quite reasonably and used to store rainwater or tap water.

Thankyou.
