    Bakgat!! That is going to keep my lady’s safe from the foxes!! Can you also add the parts you bought and a rough indication of the overall costs for the components. I always knew you were a bloody genius in disguise 🥸👊

    That is a great explanation going into enough detail that even I can follow it. Make video of your inverted water level indicator. I have 3 tanks and never know how full they are 😜
