The pantry is complete, and it didn't take long for the wife to fill this enormous space with food, LOL.
Nearly finished this storage pantry, 2040 by 1240 by 600 deep shelving. Five shelves to fit into steel supports. Add 620 mm doors and we are done.
Ran the metal wall between the old kitchen area and the new kitchen area, with metal bracings.
Ancient Hebrew
BMV says 99% SOC and -9 amps, meaning I am losing my SOC and the float is not putting the 9 amps back.
The float responded by making negative 6 amps. Why doesn't the float allow 10 amps instead of 4 amps, causing 6 amps to drain the battery?
Than I tried watering. Total amp consumed is 30 amps. Float says negative 10 amps.
Why does the float not top up the battery, instead 20 amps is going in, but 10 amps is draining the battery?
The SOC is now 100%
I will now add some loads and use the BMV 712 to monitor my battery.,
The readings on my ammeters are very informative, I have 12 such meters on all my wires.
One second day of charging, the boxes show bulk, while the day before they showed absorb. Its cloudy, and I am getting my batteries to read 100% fully charged so the BMV 712 can take over for two weeks.
Shunt allows a measured flow to the meter, the BMV 712 in the house.
The copper plate is cut into two, to allow shunt to measure current flow into -ve end of battery.
Here is the device, called a BMV 712, but the APP on your phone is better. It tells you the State of Charge of your battery, but only if you set them up every fortnight as fully charged. The device tells you than, but drifts off accuracy every 2 weeks, hence you have to play with parameters, to get it right.
Running on a stainless steel cable is a patch lead with information from our batteries using a Victron Shunt device.
Corrugated flashing to finish off gutter end of kitchen, hot water system up top. All flashing is done, so no more rain can get into kitchen. Except the wall running through the house, is a 50mm gap, will work on this tomorrow.
View outside of the kitchen end flashing. The 6m long folded flashing looks nice and neat (red arrow) the corrugated iron flash fits under (other red arrow).The narrow breeze door (red arrow) shown against the wall.
Interior flashing in the kitchen.
Flashing view on outside, the flashing was 6.0m long and man handle by me only. Quite a feat.
Flashing done, no more air vents this side. LOL
I quote"
"Every day the canny satan aspires to grab my faith, I hold on to my Encourager, and chase the satan away. I stand here alone in my faith; the whole world is against me. I give up all the earthly honor for the sake of the Messiah my mate."
How interesting that a strict Jew sees a different view of Satan. Was treated as a dead man by the Jews for his new faith in Jesus.
Mowed our Dululu house, big job Joshua did all the whipper snipping. And travel back to Alpha, and installed our new kitchen plate cupboard.
Carl and me on the last day of my working.
Due to COVID restrictions, I have to stop working now. They require you to be fully vaccinated with 3 jabs and to be weekly tested for COVID. I have refused all this, so I have stopped working as a Gardner. What a sad day for me. My friend Carl works as the head Gardner from now on.

The other side of pantry, looking out through the little door (620mm) a breeze way opening.
Inside this space looking at pantry space, about 1.5 m by 0.7m by 2.0m high. I priced one made in metal 800 wide with shelves, cost me $800, so gives me an idea of what I can spend on building this pantry.
Outside view of a special skinny door between two buildings, traps wind and funnels it into the kitchen as a lovely breeze. Part of the our pantry addition too,.
I heard fastidious liking honey. Here is our own honey on the kitchen table, about 3KG jars of it. Way too much for us, and this is just one year of bees from our own honey bees.
Also along the door so far...two dogs look on, "what is it? "dunno"
"looks like a flying white sheet?"
Finished the lining of laundry

still needs lining a bit and going round to the other room, a gap or 25mm between them, see red arrow

Our RV ready for a drive among the flowers in our garden.
Yes, we have two waters at our new kitchen sink, on is bore water, another fresh rain water and a proposed third tap will be distilled water. Add that to grey water and black water, makes five kinds of water in our house.

As for the size of the laundry, yes it is small, 2m by 2m, but the added door entry and arch makes is look big, yes. Wife loves the flat wooden floor best.
Inside wall details, red arrows show conduit pipes for power and drainage pipe.
Red arrows show drain, washing taps, and powerpoints in place
Outside of laundry wall, sheet walls in place.
The laundry wall finished, partly lined, plumbing all done, washing taps done, power point done, and basin drainage pipe done.
Your husband is busy it seems as usual, with pitching his pitch deck. LOL
Imagine all those sailing boats running into that terrible rough sea today?
Lucky we do not have TV ability, so we can only imagine.
Finished lining the wall, placed sink in with drain and hot and cold water, and wife has moved into the new kitchen, despite a few touches are required, like doing the ceiling, plastering, exterior flashing etc.
View down into new laundry area, at end of bathroom, walls still need to go up, but we are making progress.
The kitchen floor is now completed, view into kitchen, wife has place things on floor already
Very from outside, temporary plastic sheeting to keep out rain, and water pipe is also temporary.
view of nice shiny floor - cyprus T & G floor
Both big windows in,and flooring done to the second window.
The bearers and floor going down, 3 metres done, but I ran out of nails. bother
red arrow shows bath door curtain.
The view of completed bearers for the kitchen,
The steel for the bearers, to be welded to posts and concreted in.
The new kitchen is getting lined with fibro sheeting. Notice the one power point, for off-grid living, in corner near ladder.
The big snake took off, hence I had to clean up the yard, like so. This is where he was. Good old Scruffy the snake dog.
View of power room on the right, away from the power is the water aspects, the main 240 volt water pump, and the 24 volt water pump, the carpet gets wet and stinky. Will tile the floor room one day.
Showing the plastic window, temporary to keep rain out of the new kitchen floor, another large window goes here.
Underneath, the 40mm plumbing. I never glue them together. Not necessary, They do not ever leak, and you can pull them apart if you want to, to clean blockages, etc, and make extensions, etc. This is a true off-grid living principle. Keep things simple.
