Athamanatha<p>We had an emergency last night while cooking with our induction hob, when our battery box nearly caught fire as the interlink cables' connectors overheated and melted their insulation and burned into the tops of a couple of the batteries (not through to the inside though). I disconnected the batteries before the nasty smoke could turn to outright flames.</p><p>We finished our cooking on a camp fire.</p><p>We now have some new copper welding cable lugs on the 2AWG cables and power is back on.</p><p>We need some <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/Mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mutualaid</span></a> to keep us out of overdraft trouble.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://furry.engineer/@athamanatha" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>athamanatha</span></a></span> on Paypal, $athamanatha on Cashapp<br>Athakitsune on Ko-fi<br>Vulpinedesigns on Patreon</p><p><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/moneyhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moneyhelp</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/skoolie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skoolie</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/busconversion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>busconversion</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/electrical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electrical</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/wiring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wiring</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/solarpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpower</span></a><br><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/batteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>batteries</span></a></p>
Athamanatha<p>Today I <br>* stressed over a failed $51 payment and spent a while on hold trying to find out what to do about it (more <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mutualaid</span></a> would definitely help here)<br>* made more progress on the solar panel bumper (drilled holes in the wood pieces and fastened most of them together, except for the top side expansion piece that has to be cut lengthways and is taking much effort so I am cutting it a bit at a time),<br>* fixed my saw's (missing screw to hold on its handle) problem with a coach bolt and nut, <br>* made a start on chopping up the motor housing for the swing arm motor I removed from the front of the bus yesterday, <br>* dismantled a higgledy-piggledy ladder for its wood and screws, <br>* and enjoyed some nice sandwiches.</p><p><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/buslife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buslife</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/skoolie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skoolie</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/busconversion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>busconversion</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/selfsufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfsufficiency</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/spacemanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spacemanagement</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/materials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>materials</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/woodwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodwork</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/fixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fixit</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/fixed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fixed</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/repairreuserecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repairreuserecycle</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/moneyworries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moneyworries</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/moneyhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moneyhelp</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/SolarPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPV</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/offgridliving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offgridliving</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/offgridlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offgridlife</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/offgridpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offgridpower</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/financialaidrequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>financialaidrequest</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/helpfolkslive2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>helpfolkslive2025</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/homeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeless</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/crowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crowdfund</span></a></p>
