It was in the 50s Thursday so I started painting my new 600 watt wind turbine. It says you should paint it before installing it outside so I had to wait for a warmer day. The day finally came. First I painted the whole thing with primer. This took me most of the day to do a good job. I did two coats of primer on both sides of every part of the wind turbine. I also worked a bit around the off grid homestead doing odd jobs and cleaning up a bit. I left the windows and doors of the mobile wok shop open to dry out a bit inside during the warmer sunny period. A wind turbine kit from Paul Walker arrived in the mail as well as a pair of wind turbine blades. This allows me to make a wind turbine using a standard car alternator. Thank you again Paul. I installed some LED strip lights under my kitchen cabinet, over the sink. They look amazing and are incredibly bright. I love them. I spent a lot of hours working on the new Youtube comments system and trying to figure out the new setup. Plus I got caught up on the forum.
