I met with the engineer today about upgrading our service from 100amp to 200am. They will need to run new bigger wire from the transformer to the utility pole (125 feet) and install new meter and 200amp breaker. Cost will be ~ $1700. With that news, I swapped out the 100amp breaker we have been using for construction and wired up what I can (minus the 2 40amp double pole breakers).

It looks very nice for me, you did a very good job! That should be a very useful thing and I think that it is not that hard to make. I found some cool 3D printer models on https://www.palmgear.com/best-printers-for-cardstock/ and I decided to buy one. Now I am watching on the internet what I can do with it and there is a lot of cool and useful stuff to be honest. Moreover I can save a lot of money with it because I don't need to spend for different stuff from the store. So, soon I think I will make the same for my car, I hope I will make it right.

I just got from 8 days at the cabin. The first 4 days had highs around 65 and the last 4 days had 40mph winds. Pretty rough bowhunting and never saw a buck big enough to shoot. I did however kill a few projects while up there.

I installed a countertop and backsplash in the kitchen.

And installed some carsiding in the bathroom. I was one piece short so couldn't finish trimming out the bathroom.

A little cabin update. We have been heating the place with an electric shop heater. It does the job but is pretty noisy especially when it kicks on or off.

Have been cooling the place with 2 window units. Finally bought a 24000 btu mini split for better heating and cooling. It is fantastic. Like many things should of installed this years ago. The great thing about the minisplit is that i can control it with my alexa app, turning on the AC or heat a few hours before i even arrive.
