New garage time!

Heat pump is online. It's heating water and using about 600w of electric. At start up it did take a chunk of power for about an hour but it's settled down now.

I guess it's time to start cleaning.

Impressive room. Is the all that electronics protected from lightning strikes? That would worry me.

No, but lightning rod's are on my list, particularly for the garage. But everything is properly grounded, and there's a lot of tree's that are higher than the house.

From a height perspective, that room is the basement of the far left side of the house.:

New washer and dryer arrived today. I need to get the old ones out and put them in the front garage. But the bobcat is in the front garage, so that needed to move. The bobcat, with no engine.

I jacked the bucket on hte bobcat up and blocked it. Then I backed the kubota's pallet forks under the bucket and raised them. And I was greeted with a stream of hydraulic fluid from the front hose. So I stuck c clamps on the pallet forks and went to drag it. I promptly broke both c clamps in half. So I got a 10k lb rachet strap and wrapped it around the bucket and pallet fork frame to drag it. And that did work, only I had no steering as the front wheels were barely making contact with the ground. Gradually I drug it, slowly, to the back. It's not where I want it but it's out of the way for now.

So basically almost killed my kubota trying to move the bocat.

If I'm ever in a Rube Goldberg competition, I want you on my team!

I've learned that a big part of every project, is doing half a dozen small projects so I can get started on the project I really want to do.

The washer is still in the basement. Apparently I can't drag a 300lb appliance up a flight of stairs. I got the dyer out, but it's much lighter. I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on.
