At least one Rep (elect) used the cloak room as a baby changing room.

Oh the systems I worked on were from the 60s, still in operation in the late 80s, still in operation when I departed the location.

I used to repair these suckers.
Military used them, in the 90s (were still in use in 89 when I left).
Due to the low density of bits, they can survive a EMP blast without corrupting the data.

Reply to Sealant on TV or a way to waterproof? by votegoat814
Build your own waterproof box. Paint ever surface with weatherproof paint, seal every joint with silicon, ensure there are weep holes at the bottom. Possibly full on vent holes to get ride of heat. Use non reflective glass/plastic.

Reply to comment by PersephassaThePurple in Considering doing brick ourselves - No idea what we are doing by PersephassaThePurple
I helped a friend redoing the fascia bricks on his fireplace. That's what I remember he had as the materials.
He had already put on the chalk lines, so it was just put glue on the brick, stick it to the cement board, check the spacing, hold for 30 seconds. Repeat around 100 more times.
Probably lots more times for 3 walls worth.
Check out the how to shows (like This Old House) they should have videos about how to actually do it. Look for ones that cover outdoor fascia.

cement board
fascia bricks (1/2-3/4" thick)
construction glue (weather proof)
mortar to fill in between the bricks and look like real bricks
Going to be lots cheaper than having a mason do it for you.

Reply to Water pump not working when hooked to 12V battery, 20 W solar panel, & PWM solar charger controller by anh_cloud9
Do you have a timer on the pump side or if the load comes live, its pumping its little heart out.
If the 2nd, then a 20w panel cant keep up. The controller is sensing low voltage in the battery and will not turn on the load. If you force the load on, the battery may not have enough juice to run the pump and just keep draining the battery.
If you add some sort timer that runs the pump for only 20-30 minutes in the morning. The solar panel has a chance to charge the battery the rest of the day.
