    Good Thursday Morning to ya. Good, too, to see you've made progress on the shed. Thankfully, the tropics have remained quiet. Let's pray that continues to be the case for this season. FWIW, Looks like I have almost the same exhaust fan. The only difference I see is that mine has a thermostat and came already wired. You're using an much different exhaust system. Mine is a metal dryer vent w/4" piping.
    Looking forward to seeing part 2.
    My brother was supposed to come today and finish the odds & ends with mine. I had to cancel. I've got a cold that feels almost as bad as having the flu. (You know what test was negative.) Don't want him to catch this crud. Hopefully we can finish my shed next week.
    Hope too, that your back is getting better. Hope you and yours have a blessed Thursday.

      Tomorrow’s video will show you how ICD I can get sometimes. My exhaust port is most definitely overkill, but I didn’t want to worry about it getting so hot that my shed wall would melt.

    The shed is better than I thought. I have plastic roll-up blinds on my balcony that must be 20 years old at least. the threads are rotting but the actual plastic is still in excellent shape even after daily sun exposure. Some plastic is very tough stuff.

    Glad I found your video. I’m in the process or adding and Ecoflow delta pro solar power system and a whole house tri-fuel generator. What a great idea. How has it held up. On the Alabama gulf coast so it needs to be stout enough to deal with rain and wind during a hurricane.

    • @bctruck
      @bctruck  Рік тому

      I’ve had this for a couple years now. A month ago, we had a tornado come through here, in fact, I’m outside sitting on my gator, taking a break from cutting up trees and dragging them to the fire. This held up perfectly. The power was out for several weeks in some areas around me but I had power every single day. It’s a good feeling having this pay off so well.
