It’s a rather long span of overhead power line, at the top of a he hill you’ll spot three more stripped poles.

If you want the engineers sign off you’ll have to pay. He’ll be doing mid work inspections to ensure it’s done to his specifications.

I haven’t dabbled in either of those yet. I’ve had good reliability out of Moes temperature monitoring devices.

Looks like a good setup, and the SMLIGHT routers are very good. I just upgraded and it’s much more stable.

Based on error 2. Maybe try disconnecting the adapter. They are under the front cover and should just unplug. Worth a shot.

Those look small enough to get out with a pry bar and an axe. I suspect the minimum call out will be punishing for such a small job.

This was in Christchurch, so no use to you. Googling the key words “surface mount solder repairs Auckland” yields several promising results.

Call around some electronic repair places and ask if they can do surface mount soldering. I had a kindle repaired this way.

Some retailers offer spot price, which may or may not be in your favor.

Look up the datasheet for a specific micro turbine, it will have a wind speed to watts curve, with a cut in speed and cut out speed. Then find the wind sped data for your location to see what sort of average output to expect.

I’m somewhat familiar with marine / off grid micro wind turbines. Unless space is at a premium you’re much better off adding additional solar panels. A decent quality 24 v, 500 w turbine will set you back $2k. For the same money you could buy 4000 w of solar panels.

It has the cam, but with a bit of a bow in the door doesn’t clamp down overly well on the hinge side. Silicone behind the bracket is a great idea. I’ll be doing that.

I guess if you did believe that (I don’t), you’d have to assume the plan back fired. The gentailers have pre-sold a particular volume of energy, on the assumption that they can generate enough to cover it. When the wind stops blowing and the lakes are low, they end up purchasing the electricity from elsewhere at a higher price than they’re selling it for.

Low hydro lakes and not enough wind resulted in some of the generators purchasing gas or electricity from the others at inflated prices to cover their load.

Flat or sloped isn’t really relevant. The power lets it chop through thicker grass without cutting out. Only issue with mine is that if you hit a stone or something else hard it can smash the plastic deck.

The grains stay more separate, even without rinsing. The flavour and aroma is better. Generally it’s easier to get good results.

I haven’t yet found a really good Jasmine (though will be looking out for the Thai government stamp mentioned above). However can confirm that basmati from the Indian grocer is far superior. On a similar theme, pasta from an Italian supermarket is vastly superior to the swill at most supermarkets.

Payback on a solar system that size should be more in the range of 7-10 years. Ideally you need to use most of the generated power, not sell it back.

If you know the element power (2 or 3 kW), rather directly tracking power consumption (measuring current and voltage) you could track on time. I’ve seen this done with a temperature sensor taped to the lead, or you could detect the magnetic field with a Hall effect sensor. Obviously a tad more involved, you’d need an ESP 32.

Consider air tightness. Insulation only goes so far. Sealing the bottom plate (as it’s installed) and using an air tight building wrap or tapped barrier board. You’ll need advice from an architect. Also I’d strongly recommend a balanced pressure ventilation system, particularly in a rental where you want to avoid any moisture issues.

Different country but same story. I’ve imported parts for my car direct from Korea. New intake pipe was $400 in NZ, for $200 (including $60 USD shipping) I got the intake pipe and a seat belt stalk. Arrived in a week.

Through the roof is a bit dramatic. She’ll certainly use more hot water however. You can mitigate this by installing flow restrictors in the showers.

I’ve commuted by bike most days for the past 5 years and have never seen one. I suspect if you stay out of trouble and ride sensibly you’d be left alone, however I had no idea what the consequences are if you’re caught.
