Weekend woes, and progress.

Well, where do I start. Yes, we blew our inverter, plus we blew the replacement. Seems the Transfer Switch shorted out when my son plugged in the gas generator without turning off the inverter. Why did he plug in the gas gen? Another sob story. We burned up the starter on the VeggieGen, which is connected to the transfer switch, so he plugged the gas gen into a house outlet and poof ......

Then the gas gen shook some bolts loose and dropped the on/off switch into the flywheel.

It's not been a good couple of days. Today, the gas gen is back in service, the veggiegen starter is at the shop, and the inverter is off getting exchanged. It does say it's protected from shorts. Right.....

The well pump, which quit on us last week, and needed a capacitor to get it going again, is running but not pumping. Worked this morning. Go figure.

PJ is here, and we are constructing more sections of the Geodesic Quonset, so I will have more pics up tonight. Last night my wife and I played 4 rounds of Yahtzee by candle light, kids stayed at friends. The woodstove is mighty friendly when it's 25 degrees out.
