      It is important to keep exposing this tyranny! People aren't getting this from other media for the most part. The vast majority are products of the government indoctrination camps (pub schools). They need education on allodial title/land grants made patent and what that means.

    Cody, the way that I remember purlins vs girts is by think about a *_girdle_* a girdle is worn around the waist and girts go around the waist of a building. So girts are a buildings girdle.
    You should run a bonding wire from panel to the girts as the aluminum can oxidize leaving the panel without good bond to the building.

    Independent solar only makes sense with batteries and spare panels and battery modules. For most people lead acid batteries make much more sense. But of course the ultimate battery is water. A water tower that can take in rain but also the ability to have water pumped to it when solar power is available is a great way to get the power back by releasing the water over a turbine when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. Speaking of which wind turbines are also a good addition to solar panels.

    from the Silvel diesel heater owner's manual (two possible errors)

    1) Check for oil shortage, low temperature solidification of oil, blockage of oil pipeline and blockage of oil pump
    2) Check whether the intake and exhaust ducts are unblocked
    3) Check whether the housing temperature sensor is in full contact with the housing and whether the pressure spring is strong
    or
    ii) unsuccessful start up;
    1) The shell temperature is too high to blow the cooling shell for 3 minutes after starting.
    2) There is a lot of white smoke in the exhaust gas
    2. 1) Check that the filter beside the ignition plug is
    Clean and not cleaned or replaced
    2. 2) Check whether the fuel injection is effective
    2. 3) Check whether the ignition plug is aging
    2. 4) Is the clearance of the internal wind turbine too large?
    2) A small amount of white smoke or no smoke in the exhaust gas

Additionally, they are taxed, and required permits for anything done on their land.

    My favorite bits by far are Makita. I use Milwaukee, Dewalt, and Makita power tools so I don’t have brand bias. The Makita bits are hard to beat!

    Great great Pro Home video's Wrangler! Im following your solar hook up to gain some strategies for my home solar panels I purchased from a company some 5 years ago. Unbeknowing to me when I had them installed the system did not come with batteries. It channels through the utility electric with the goal said it would cover my electric bill. It never has even come close! I suspect the utility company has their meter rigged in their favor to keep me forking the $bucks to them. Like you I am sick of all the BS. Thank God for the skills you have and the resources to do the cool things you do. God bless.

    I use Klein tools 1/4 x 5/16 hex drive for self tappers and it works great because you can flip bit around for size

    You are 100% right. I do love my Milwaukee tools however, on their impact guns I find the batteries especially on my half inch drive rattle loose and sometimes you have to hold them in place. That is a little bit frustrating. Are on a scrap metal company and there's sawzall blades carbide in comparison to the red demon ones are a joke and they're bits do not hold up as well. Granted I'm not a professional Carpenter but they do not last as long as driving all-purpose Robertson number two screws

    A web acquaintance in northern USA uses an 8Kw rated solar panel array that is tilted with the seasons to catch the best of the high summer sun and the low winter sun. Their summer electricity need is all met by solar, but they still need to use a generator some times in the winter. Remember that panel output to mains outlet via charger, battery and inverter is never more than 85% efficient, usually more like 75%. Solar may be free but wasting it still costs. A typical sun tracking solar array catches about 40% more electricity than a static array of the same size, BUT they need space to avoid shading each other. In the UK most solar arrays are on existing building roofs, which saves land area but challenges panel cleaning and orientation.
    Can you actually grow an oilseed crop for your diesel heater?

    It is often overcast where I live. My neighbors have solar and say on those days they rely on there big and expensive battery. I built my own system and it still provides during even rainy days. I put money into more panels in series to give enough voltage to charge my small battery no matter the weather. They spent 3x as much on a huge battery that has more parallel to charge quick when the sun does shine. I think my system works better.

    Wranglerstar - Its a great idea to have parts on hand for the diesel heater; Glow plugs and installation socket ( get one kit ($13.49) that includes socket and just the glow plugs, (error code 03) about a 2 minute replacement) a spare fuel pump(41 with glow plug). A spare motherboard (Open the black box and see the color - mine is green others are blue, spare stainless steel diffuser screens $5.08 for 10 of. Or a whole spare heater for less - which I also did.

    E08 lack of fuel may need to be restarted a number of times to refill fuel lines. After a few failed attempts the heater should ignite and clear errors. Callouts for no fuel will be chargeable. The unit may smoke when started, this is normal and will clear.
    Hope that helps! God Bless!

    as an electrician, I run the Makita gold bits. They seem to fit the best and last a long time. The Milwaukee bits are not good, Dewalt is my second choice.

    I find the self tappers work well enough on undrilled aluminium but steel needs a predrilled hole to allow the tappers to get started even with the "drill bit" tip on each screw.

    My opinion, shipping containers should b considered "temporary structures" (not "buildings"), same as tents, fireworks stands, etc. They should not be considered "permanent structures" as they are not attached to or dug into the ground. Ask, are shopping containers taxed if they are sitting on the ground at a port or shipping container sales or storage facility? Also check with local ordinances to see what version of building code that they have adopted. (it's not always the newest version.) Thrn check that building code book. Also check permit form for temporary structures.

    FYI those screws with the bolt heads are much much handier to use. Though as cross heads have the trouble of stripping sometimes, the bolt heads don't but instead sometimes snap so it's a good idea to spray the thread with WD40 or some other lubricant that doesn't stain too much.

    You should break down and get the 90 degree Milwaukee drill. Not the strongest, but great for those tight situations.
