What have done towards your prep?

[Lightspeed]

Wood store reorganised last weekend, so there's room once again for converting and chopping. I also ran power and light so that I can operate machinery there without resorting to extension leads.

Electrical switchgear, UPS, pure sine Inverter, plugs and cable conduit for the new back-up generator. Hope to complete this next weekend.

Sadly one of our deep cycle batteries is now toast, and as it was connected in a bank the other three are severely depleted in capacity. An expensive lesson learned here. Must keep a more careful and more regular eye on the state of charge. 2 x 120AH replacements ordered as needed as a minimum for UPS backup. I'll order a couple more as soon as funds permit.
