You know it's important when a MAN reads instructions!

Refractory cement obviously can handle high temps better than ordinary Portland cement. Hey, I wonder why it's called Portland cement?? Here I am in Portland and I have no idea why it's called that. I suppose it could be named after Portland, Maine, or some other Portland. . .

Tim an I are in the middle of upgrading our solar power system in the wofati from our goal zero system to a larger inverter batteries an bigger solar panels. This is what tim built to hold the panels so they are easier to move around for exposure. It will set on top the wofati.

I love that articulated arm. It looks like a sunflower! Now you just need it to follow the sun automatically, like a real sunflower.

Could the oil drum pocket rocket be covered in cob? I have two little ones and I like how the feed is higher. I am hoping that putting cob around it will make it a little cooler to the touch as well as add some much needed asthetics.
