07:57 PM rue_mohr: 15-25pf is typ I think, I tend to find caps from other crystal circuits
09:31 PM rue_mohr: hahaha just about fell asleep at my deskl
09:40 PM Tom_L: is that something new?
09:46 PM rue_mohr: it was unexpected
09:46 PM rue_mohr: so, a fellow bought the shed!
09:46 PM rue_mohr: its a bit too high to transport, so we blocked up the roof to take off first
09:46 PM rue_mohr: I'll have my driveway back!
09:47 PM rue_mohr: and if I really want a shed, I can build a much cheaper one
09:47 PM rue_mohr: 2 packages from china today
09:47 PM Tom_L: glad that's going i bet
09:47 PM rue_mohr: oh yea, I had almost no sleep last night
09:47 PM rue_mohr: what am I actually running on?
09:47 PM rue_mohr: yea, it will be awesome to have the loading dock back and the parking spot
09:48 PM rue_mohr: I did learn that a 'incomming e-waste holding area' is handy
09:48 PM Tom_L: how long did it sit there?
09:48 PM rue_mohr: 2 yrs
09:48 PM Tom_L: probably not going down that road again
09:49 PM rue_mohr: the new house plan is to consume the existing house with a new one 10 feet at a time
09:49 PM rue_mohr: this summer i'd wanted to get the old septic tank out from under the house, but didn't pull it off
09:49 PM rue_mohr: (got abouthalf way)
09:50 PM Tom_L: surprised it could even be under a house
09:50 PM rue_mohr: once that is out, the plan is to re-support the house and dig the basement/foundation for the new house
09:50 PM rue_mohr: yea, it cant
09:50 PM rue_mohr: rednecks
09:50 PM rue_mohr: its everything I got to tide back the issues with this place
09:52 PM rue_mohr: doing it one handed is a task too, I really feel I could use help in my life
09:52 PM rue_mohr: more robots are the obvious answer ;]
09:52 PM Tom_L: find some good help if you can
09:52 PM Tom_L: there's not much left to be had
09:52 PM rue_mohr: yea
09:53 PM rue_mohr: I dont spend enough time in my shop
09:53 PM rue_mohr: not sure why, its warmer and there are more fun things to do
09:53 PM Tom_L: i'm finding i'm not doing near what i used to
09:53 PM Tom_L: it's probably in better shape than the house
09:53 PM Tom_L: you just built it a few years ago
09:53 PM rue_mohr: I seem to spend a lot of time waiting for headaches to clear and tiredness to pass
09:54 PM rue_mohr: I screwed up the floor, I should have put insulation under it
09:54 PM rue_mohr: $$$
09:54 PM rue_mohr: well $$$$, so I didnt
09:54 PM Tom_L: you put water heat in the floor too and aren't using that are you?
09:55 PM rue_mohr: no, the material under the shop is too wet, and there is flow, so its a huge heatsink
09:55 PM rue_mohr: if I set up another wood boiler I could pound tonnes of cheap heat into it, but
09:56 PM rue_mohr: I was going that direction when everything failed with the system
09:56 PM rue_mohr: only the storage tank and pumps are usable now
09:56 PM Tom_L: are you on propane or natural gas?
09:56 PM rue_mohr: LOTS of work to rebuild it all
09:56 PM rue_mohr: yea
09:56 PM rue_mohr: $$$
09:57 PM rue_mohr: the floor sinks more than 1500W continious
09:57 PM rue_mohr: I know cause that 1500w hot water tank I set it up with cant keep up
09:57 PM rue_mohr: but
09:58 PM rue_mohr: if I put one 60w lamp on the table, I can overheat the shop
