  Hmmm maybe need some way to mount a magnet in the pipe and have a hall effect sensor on the outside of the pipe with a custom tiny circuit board. That would be a better long term solution. Think that would still be in the $10 range. Would require 3 wire conductors tho to the sensors.

  My design got too complex for this macbook... gonna have to finally fix my old pc with the failed nvme ssd.

  @dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Yeah and hopefully they even have cans to hang on the pole. I think there has or was a shortage.

  @dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch I'd just have A and B to start and leave the 3rd phase empty of breakers. Then when I get the 3 phase service installed I'll have C phase. That's another issue tho, last time we priced getting 3 phase they wanted 20K to add cross bars and 2 wires for a half mile. Since now we will have two locations needing three phase maybe they will subsidize it a bit more, or I can split the cost with my friend because he wants 3 phase there too.

  Instead of building a steel fireplace in the greenhouse I should build two small brick kilns and alternate between them firing bricks and thick floor tiles for building projects. Heat the greenhouse/shop and not have to pour a fuck ton of concrete slab floors. The bricks won't be exposed to frost so I think 12 hour nightly firings would be sufficient. I need like 50k 12" floor tiles and I bet I could make all of em over ~5 winters. Would just need to mold 500 tiles a week, making a...

  At least if funding falls thru my bro said I can build a greenhouse off the side of one of his shops, so I can at least get the lettuce money machine rolling.

  Just made final jeeb payment. Now just need to make $100 a day selling bred and veggies to be break even. Should be possible, just will need to sell like 6 loaves of bred and $60 of veggies to do that and pay for gas. Now that temps are cooler I'll get my mushroom tent going too and maybe harvest some honey. Hoping I make like 3x the break even amount, then I will just have to sell shit like 3 days a week to be moving forward again. Might try to just do it every day tho for the next coup...

  Some electricians around here charge $120 an hour... makes it tempting. Especially since I can do PLC stuffs that most can't do. I want to be able to run to Thailand winters tho and people don't like it when you are gone and their shit breaks.

  Really should just be an electrician and simplify my life, but would rather have 10 businesses that each make 5-10k and won't kill me because wrong breaker turned off.

  Parents might be giving out some shit to us kids as they do their divorce. They don't want each other getting things and would rather chillens get the things. Might be getting a Bobcat and ditchwitch which would help immensely building my shop. My dad is weird about lending out his equipment so kinda unexpected.

  Think I'm gonna get a peddlers permit tomorrow and park downtown by the dude selling sweet corn. I have about 15 gallons of cherry tomates I need to pick and turn into monies. Have some melons and cucs ready as well.

  @dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Just shitty clay bricks. Gonna build a big greenhouse and build a small shop/house in it as well.

  I probably need at least 25k bricks by next summer. At 50¢ a brick I think would def be worth my time to spend a few months making bricks. Shit ton of perlite ordered. Gonna need to cut a shit ton of firewood too.

  Since I have a greenhouse half empty at friends place I could use that area to stack sun dried bricks until I get the land bought to fire them in a kiln. Could probably even build a shitty temporary kiln out of them to do an initial firing so I wouldn't have to spend a grand on bricks to build a real kiln. If I make my own bricks for building the kiln I can probably add some extra sand and perlite to them to make them more heat resistant. Don't want my arched kiln roof to turn into pu...

  Relative wants to borrow my welder. Have to resist ordering a lime green 56" harbor freight tool box to mount my tig/mig welder and my argon & C25 bottles to and have space for all welding tools... Would work very well, the drawers are even wide enough I could have one dedicated to tig filler rods and the chonky drawer could hold welding helmet and face shield.

  Since raising fish for meat is wrong livelyhood, I'm gonna attempt ~70-80 deg water for my aquaponics systems with Koi and tropical fish. Might have to have a colder system too for lettuce. Or spray the water on the roots and have airflow on the roots to cool them evaporativly to prevent bolting.
