You could bend that hook closed with pliers. Please get a 8' ladder so you won't fall off that dangerous 6' alluminum.
Good lighting outdoors, well done!
Good job. You need light up there in that cold dark place. 3 of the last 4 days here have been raining or cloudy. Yesterday the 🌞 sunshine was out, so that did help. It rained today, and was cold and gloomy. It may snow Thursday, they say. I'm thinking about ordering a wind generator diy kit... more or less everything but the pole. It's going to cost more than I thought at first. It's a good unit, but in a storm it can put out too much voltage so they want you to buy an extra clipper unit and the controller, which I can barely afford. So I wouldn't be able to get any more batteries for a long while. So, I am going to get the wind generator, then next month get the controller. That will let me get more batteries if I need them. I have a bold plan to use the battery bank as the dump load for the windmill output. It seems that a big load would slow it down enough, instead of wasting the energy in big resistors. I'm going to try it with 22 batteries, I guess. At 7:30 p. m. showing 24.5 v. ( terrible, lol ) I'm afraid not to go ahead and get it, because prices are going up too much, so if I put it off it's just going to cost more. Now on the down side there was an F 0 twister came through about a mile North of here two weeks ago. Just broke a few telephone poles by the highway. So there is risk in the wind generator but it's pretty rare. I have to figure out how to get the charge controller... they've went up from $606 to around $650. The wind generator is $676. I'll have fifteen hundred in it after I get it wired up. But I wanted a wind generator for part of the system, so I'm going to go ahead and get it now. This is a big new year. This is like wading out into the lake and stepping in a deeper spot. It kind of takes your breath for a second. I hope to get it going in March. I'm kinda excited about it but wow it's a lot of money. After I pay for all that I will have about $5600 in my off grid energy system. I will be happy as long as it just works. By the time I add four more batteries I'll be at six grand. That's what I figured it would take. I don't mind spending if it's for something that important. I've wanted to have a solar/ wind system for a long time. It has kept me almost broke the last two years though. If it was anything else I would be sick of spending money on it. However, it is extremely rewarding to be getting there with it. They say our money will be worthless soon, so I have to do it. I would rather have my own power, set-up anyway. Some places the wind generator doesn't work out, but here in Oklahoma, the wind comes right behind the rain, and it rains a lot, so it works out well enough to be worth it. If you put one and a half wraps of duct tape on the handle of the light, get it centered, then mark the center with a sharpie, you can instantly tell if it's off center. Plus the tape won't let it shift.
Wow be safe out there with your wild weather
Jenna has the Den lit up like a Christmas tree.
Looks great.
Suggestion; disassemble the lights before installing, to see how to replace the batteries. so U will be on the high-side of the learning curve when comes time to replace...and to get the numbers off the batteries for replacement
I am looking for more solar lights, too. Thanks for the review.
I have heard you can coat those cloudy panels with clear nail polish.
We just got 10+ inches of snow here!!
Stay well. As always look forward to your videos.
Oh I never thought of the nail polish thing, thanks. Wow, snowy there!
All the lights look so nice.
Love the lights Jenn...the one light over the gas tank on the brass hook you installed, if your worried about the light coming unhooked in the wind, take your pliers and squeeze the hook until its almost closed...leave enough to take them down if you need to but close most of the gap
hello from the snowy ozarks Jenna! always something! tight lines!
It bugs me too when something is not sitting level or plumb, if that's OCD then we have OCD lol, but I doubt we're alone. Place looks good at night, keep up the good work Jenna 👍
Thank you and yes I think OCD is quite common. One thing is for sure, I am not nearly as OCD as Inused to be! Haha
@@gypsyjenna 😆👍
Good job! May I suggest using hex head screws to replace those cheap Philips head screws. You may have a hex head driver for your cordless drill. That way you will not strip the heads. Engineers overdesign everything. Lol! No snow for us..., yet. That's just the way I like it. Take care of yourself. You seem to be over your cold and glad for you. CYA! Rob in N.C.
Thanks Rob, and I'm jealous on the no snow bit, then again we had a lot of rain yesterday that washed most of ours away 😀
warm, dry and cozy!
Wow looks good nice and bright. Today we are getting storm up to 6". That should close this town down lol. Great video stay warm and safe. See you on the next one✌️
Hope you don't get snowed in! Stay safe out there
@@gypsyjenna both the dogs Willow and Koda will have a blast.
You'll have to build a sled and let them tow you around the property lol
@@gypsyjenna lol now that would be fun.
I have a bunch of solar lights but my favorite is Bell+Howell, I have had my spotlight for about 5 years now and it's still going strong. I also like the red, white and blue string lights. I have a few trees decked out with them in my front yard. Still working decently after 2 years even though I accidentally tore a string apart with my weedwhacker. The only solar lights I don't really care for are the ones you spike into the ground. They never seem to last long for me and I always have to remove them when I'm mowing.
I was just thinking today how much I am liking Bell + Howell products. So far so good with them!
yes, I've had such great luck with bell+ Howell. I wanna get two more for my containers. They work sooo good and last a long time.
Looks great.
i just got the solar string lights this past summer and i love them!
Come on Ramsey, help your momma clean up, jeez 😅. I love all the lights Jenna. They are very essential living this lifestyle 👍
I'll tell him you said that, he's not pulling his weight around here 🤣
@@gypsyjenna meowoooops 😅😼
I love the smell of over-stripped screws 1st thing in the morning.... :o).
I love your Croc game! 🐊I also love your solar lighting!! I've had my eye on a few of these already, but plenty more inspiration here!
Nice to see you I still haven't found any land to put my fithwheel on good job on lights
Good luck in your search, hopefully something comes up soon!
Keep it up. Stay Safe, healthy and warm✌️👍👌
Thank you!
@@gypsyjenna and change those 'Steps' or Kitchen strairs!! It's what I'm reading about in the comments, hahaha😝🤣...the '8 steps' setup is what people recommend.
For you to climb up on... ✌️ Just so you know😘🙈, hahaha
Also, could you PLEASE make a video on how you made your roof! Much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing Jenna. The lights look great. I really like that remote controlled light you placed on the back over the propane tank. I will have to see if I can find one like that. Take care.
Thanks, it's a great light!
Love me some solor light's
Been watching your videos (not in order lol) and I got to say, I'd love to have you as a neighbor!
Crimp the hook the solar lights are hanging on and close the hook. Then the lights can't fall off.
I was under the impression you didn't use the tankless water heater over the winter. But if the place is warm 24/7 then you just have to worry about the grey water freezing up. Cheers.
I don't use the water heater in winter, I winterize and dewinterize in spring. Couple more months! Just getting prepared now :)
Those all should look cool at night.. Sucks ya already have to replace some bulbs on the new light
Looks like a place where a gypsy lives; I like it. Is it true that Canadian Tire sells everything except tires?😎
Oh they definitely sell tires too lol
If you are close enough the us santan solar has used panels for under 50 buck to counter the lack of sun hours.
Wow that is a deal and a half!
@@gypsyjenna yeah it is i bought 2 panels for 45 a panel and have not had enough troubles with the ones I got installed and several for back up should something happen to a couple
Imagine if it is something cheap to replace like a capacitor or replace faulty wire...
Hey Jenna,any idea what your diesel cost is per mth to run the diesel heater? I'm still thinking of getting one for my shop .maybe another for standby in my house
Hey I only run it as a back up when no one is home to run the wood stove. Haven't used it as a primary heat source so I wouldnt be the best to ask I suppose. It also depends on the price of diesel where u are at.
@@gypsyjenna I should have bought one after I saw your video. Costs are increasing . I think it's a perfect fit for my shop .
Thx for the reply . Take care . Aaron
Although crispy outside, I feel like you haven't gotten much snow this year. Is it early yet or I am crazy?
Not crazy, really haven't gotten much so I shouldn't complain BUT my worry is that February or March will be a doozy lol
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector for that daddy buddy heater . It will go off when there is carbon monoxide in your cabin.
I do thanks
Maybe they the lights are loose.
