    Why would you leave it down in the dirt where ground moisture can cause more trouble, later. Jack it up and leave it up there. Put a proper floor or at least some kind of masonry lower wall. Water and wood don't mix. It's a lot of work to jack it up.

    • @Ricks_Tech_Talk
      @Ricks_Tech_Talk 6 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment, it's good for others to see things like this. I didn't want it any higher than what it's at now, and the shed lasted over 30 years last time. I should have put down a vapor barrier, but I didn't know any better. I did coat the plywood underneath, and I fixed the standing water issue. The rain was pooling around the shed for years and that's all fixed now so the ground stay nice and dry. I have a few holes in the floor that I use to check the 2x6s and it's stay dry so far. If and when it rots again and if I'm still around, I will end up pouring concrete.

      I have a large screen as well. It's 120 or 110 I forget. But the pvc for that screen is 3" schedule 40 with no supports in the center and no need for anything in the tubes for sagging. To make the big one stand up I used T connectors and added 2 feet of tube on each end, then that connects to the one tube coming down. Have fun and thanks for watching the video

My issue is a (ex. device that is right next to a satellite will connect to my router in basement, or satellite furthur away then the one right next to it) Then devices will get crappy wifi. This happens on multiple devices. Do you have any experience with this. Thanks in advance.

      The tires are wide and that a lot of weight on the tongue. It's not too bad when it's moving, but making big corrections it takes some force but nothing major. Gravel should be fine. I've used it in grass, and it only slipped when the camper wheels started to sink into the lawn. This one shows it in the grass ua-cam.com/video/X7_CQhoZGKg/v-deo.html

We have a bit of an incline in our driveway and our trailer is an intech sol dawn do you think it could do a greater incline than your driveway? - Our trailer weighs about 3000-3500 pounds- how much does the electric dolly weigh and can you (or do you) take it with you to campgrounds? I was hoping to be able to sometimes use it at campsites or rv camps- what are your toughts on it and where did you buy it ?

      I purchased it direct from the manufacture parkit360.ca/products/force?variant=41156456022197 The Force Dolly weighs approx. 80lbs without the Handle, Ball Mount, or Battery installed. It's easy to disassemble and fits into the trunk of a small sedan or trailer storage compartment. If you have a ramp to drive it up in, it wouldn't be so bad.

      @Ricks_Tech_Talk I recently installed this meter and all is great, however when I plug in an On/Off switch to my project the reading is 0% and voltage shows 10.1V If I remove the On/Off switch the result is perfectly normal and I get e.g. 35% battery reading. Why would this be? My project consists of the following: 1) A 12.6V Lithium Ion Battery pack 3S2P 2) LED strip lights (2.0m) and 3) Touch sensitive On/Off switch NOTE: All components are DC (female and male) jack compatible and hence plug and play is possible. I installed the Battery Voltage Meter as described ----> It follows AFTER the On/Off switch. Please let me know your thoughts.

      It needs to be connected to power at all times :( But by doing that it will drain the power of the battery over time.

      @@Ricks_Tech_Talk Thanks for your feedback. To confirm, does this mean the meter needs to form part of the circuit and be placed before the On/Off switch? Why would I get a different reading when I place the meter after the On/Off switch? Shouldn't the reading be consistent regardless?

      My guess is the current / resistance is changed when it's part of the circuit because it needs to find a way back to the battery for a reading. Just hook it up separate from the circuit. But it should work fine if you want to and a switch in line with it to turn it off. Just make sure it's just an on-off switch and not one that lights up when on. If you have something inline with the meter that draws power, it will mess it up. So in the end the meter and your project will connect to the pos and both to the neg. When I did mine, I had the wires connected to the pos and neg hooked to a XT60 connector, I just plugged the meter in when I wanted readings.

      Thanks, on the back side it's 7x7 The Google sketch up file is in the description and it shows all the measurements.

    Hard to find a nice big computer desk build like this one. Awesome job. I'm jealous. Don't have a garage or the sweet tools to do this. Nice work Rick.

      You are so kind, thank you so much. This desk could be made with a saw and sander. You could build it with just rough cut lumber, then sand it down after it's built. For the top you could buy butcher block countertop. Thanks for watching the video.

      ​@@Ricks_Tech_TalkThanks. Been wanting to build one. Very hard to find a manufactured computer desk as large, and certainly not as much quality as your build. But I need to do something. Had the same ugly old desk for over 20 years.

    Do you use the keen hubs or the Samsung smartthings hub to allow the vents to work?

      I started with the Keen hub then moved over to the samsung. Now I use all Flair vents and pucks.
