Tell me about your projects? (infosec.pub)

I've been slowly converting all of my outdoor lighting to solar and adding more rain barrels for my garden. This got me thinking--what are the rest of you working on? I'd love to see and hear about your projects if you feel like sharing them.

Thanks in advance, I hope you're all having a wonderful day!

Well, there's a DIY electric car which needs both axles to be re-designed. They didn't pass driving tests in the field. Design is complete but welding cannot start before weather turns nicer.

Also, my house needs a battery shed on wheels - wheels to keep away construction bureaucrats, shed because it's uncomfortable to sleep under the same roof with a very considerable amount of lithium cells. I'd like to keep some distance from them so that if something goes wrong, it's would be just the cells. :) The bottom platform with wheels is complete, walls and roof and everything such - nope, not a trace, not even a good drawing. :)

If I lived closer I'd volunteer to help just to see this beautiful insanity come together. I like the "wheels" work around!

There's a pretty high chance that when it does come together, it will be presented somehow on c/offgrid on this very server. :)
