Friday morning: I've never held a microcontroller, Why did I buy a soldering iron, this seems too complicated, What even is YAML?
Sunday afternoon: I've built four thermometers and integrated them into my homeassistant setup! I'm so cool!
There were some steps I think could have been better described in a guides I found. I'm thinking of maybe doing a writeup, but I don't know if anyone would read it, that's not my usual style of writing

Will continue this little side project when I grab some expanding foam to seal the openings in the water jug and use it to make sure the water goes where I want it to go in the waterfall. All kind of happens at once because the can is not reusable.
The stuff isn’t cheap either.
The good news is the forecast is for a rainy day so perfect for turning off the pond pump. Any water lost should hopefully be replenished naturally.

I am so happy with how this folding ladder came out! Yeah the folded state looks a little whack but that’s ok, it’s only so we can move it for cleaning #diy
Ich habe die letzten genutzt und ein paar Postkarten gestaltet.. Leider wollte meine Kamera euch diese nicht zeigen und hat den Fokus auf das Wesentliche verloren..

Underneath everything is the reservoir and filter system
I snagged a 140L storage box with wheels at a 70% discount, and fitted it with a drainage tap + quick connect inlet.
I’m using brass quick connects everywhere I can, to make my future jobs easier 
The filter is gravity based - water enters at the top, through a nylon screen to remove ferret 
, and then through a typical pond filter. This then goes directly into the reservoir and gets cycled through the system again by the pump

Apparently my update didn’t post 
Finished the topcoat, and setting everything up! First test of the motor went well, but on a subsequent test it conked out and now the impeller doesn’t spin… might be time to check eBay for a replacement! #diy
Rainy weather, but the hauling continues.
Going to have a big stack of wood in the yard! Trying to put it near the splitting place without blocking anything.
Strangely, hauling logs in the rain makes me feel much more alive than hacking away at a computer keyboard fixing code for enthusiastic, yet doomed tech startups.

This weekend I went along to a great shed building course. We built the wooden base frame and flooring for this caravan! A highly enjoyable course, learnt a lot, and really cool to construct something and see it coming together.
Course was run by Ian Watt just outside Alyth if folks are looking.

the transplanted goldfish from the bottom pond seems to have fit in well with the remaining two originals (there were 4 each to start).
There are now three and six in top and bottom respectively #pandemicpond #diy #home #plumbing #ueerruuugghh

T piece fashioned to combine the flow from the two bog filter barrels. The PVC pipe cutter is SO handy. Precise and quick.
And noticed a resident of the pond who seems to have found him/herself in a difficult spot.

the good news is, it seems alot easier to convince everything into the hole when the sides of the container are thin. So this only took a couple minutes of prying/cajolling #pandemicpond #diy #home #plumbing #ueerruuugghh

the least fun part of diy pond work is making the pipe fit in the rubber hole... 
this will be the reservoir for a new waterfall on the original #pandemicpond. I need something that could handle the flow and bring the water up to a nice height. So a water jug from CanTire, a hole saw for the inlet, and a jigsaw for the outlet is the trick.
