Please thats simple. Everyone knows you're suppose to afix a flaming 55-gallon barrel to each sides of the helicopter. They help other aircraft to be aware of your presence. Just have to make sure they're pointed up, dont want people thinking you made an apache helicopter in your back yard.

There is actually from what I understand a decent bamboo industry in my state I can tap into if I containerize my bamboo. If I dont sell it outright, I may start making fence posts out of them or use them to fuel the grovertruk firepit.

I will post the pathetic picture of the battery closet later. The wiring is all temporary now without adequate fuses.

Right now I have a 1250w tripp lite inverter/charger connected to a 25ft long 13 amp gfci extention cord reel hub that i have snaking through the ceiling out to the back entrance where I hook it to house power to charge my batteries. I was originally using my truck k as a generator, but now its reserved as a back up. Takes about an hour to charge the battery with the truck.

The 1250w tripp lite is connected to my exide 105ah deep cycle 31 marine battery. The battery has a 1320 watt hour capacity. I use it to power my cell phone/laptops and roughly 100w/hr 12volt electric blankets. I also have a 800w 12 volt electric space heater that I can only use sparingly for like 15 minutes at night and in the morning to get the chill off so I can get to sleep or build the courage to get dressed.

I have a 20w solar panel but I realized that it takes a week to charge one days use of battery lol. So once I buy the murderhaus property, I'm going to buy 400 watt solar panels and 5000w/hr of batteries that im going to leave on the land to charge during the day that I hook into at night. When im not spending the night on the land I will hook into house power elsewhere.

I have a fuse block I need to install. Trying to decide how I want to do that or if I need two fuse blocks and a switch since I will have two independent battery banks for the mobile battery and the land battery.

I plan do to everything by code. I was a construction inspector for a while. But the main thing I want to do with the fix and flips is to install solar on each fixer upper. I think I was originally going to rent the fixer uppers instead of flipping them so I may have misspoke. My overall goal is to create an empire of tiny house farms throughout the east coast that i rent out on crop share and provide affordable rent to own solar powered housing by rehabbing old buildings. Its going to be a while before I build the capital for all that. If only I can get in on the next $GME.

Marine batts are kind of great and all, especially for portability and well, marine use, but please get yourself some large lead acids like tractor ones, sheltered seperate from where you are living. ppl I know who have made housboats on old hulks have usually gone that route, with seperate, well ventilated stacks.
otoh, this was years aho, I guess marines must have dropped in price since then.

It is currently sitting over a pit. The county wanted the previous guy to abandon them in like 2014 (i imagine this one was last dug prior to 2009 before the then existing church burnt down). There is a second one on the property hence the two TimberShitters on the map. The leaves are covering the 6 foot slab.. There is also a cracked third base that someone tried to throw into the creek behind the house. I dont have to dig a new pit until the feces reach 18inch below the surface.

This actually explained a lot about what you are trying to do and I think it's pretty cool.

I recommend seriously considering a small wood stove instead of a firepit. You want ambiance right? Well you can use your wood stove as a stove to heat water for tea or hot toddy's, or warm cookies something. It's much more functional than an open firepit.

Edit: Here are a few options for you to check out.

Cut a hole in the floor that's roughly the circumference of a 55gal barrel and use it to make the barrel level with the floor. Save the cutout and put one of those rings on it to flip up and use as a handle. You got yourself a sunken firepit with a lid to maximize your porch space and your safety since you could use the lid to starve the fire if things get a little too hot, if you know what I mean. With that and the rerouted ventilation system you've got yourself a formidable, safe, and versatile fire pit for your truck.

and a place to burn the body parts :ssh:

Carbon Monoxide sinks, bruh.

Clearly this means you need to put a vent in the floor to have your kick-rear end firepit.

((Do not build the firepit, you will die. Also, carbon monoxide doesn't actually sink, it pretty evenly disperses throughout an enclosed space.))

honestly, just a vented fan in the ceiling would fix all of this.


or, and stay with me here: you could saw through the porch walls and set up a hinge system to let them open out and down, with some flip out supports, and triple your porch space AND make the firepit not hazardous.
