Three Days At The Off Grid Homestead
655 Views
4 years ago
I have been busy the past three days off the homestead but here is an overview of what has been going on at the homestead during this time. I am working a lot on DIY Tube Video Community recently in hopes of finishing the project and making it grow. Melanie got some mushrooms on sale and dried them over the wood stove. This turned out very well. We had a nice day of solar power which topped the batteries back up all the way. I left them alone and did not try to use the excess power.

800 Watt Power Supply FAIL ~ Cant Take 500 Watts Mining Rig
789 Views
4 years ago
Two so called 800 watt power supplies can only supply half their rated power. I built a brand new Ethereum mining rig using 5x RX 580 graphics cards and two 800 watt power supplies. The mother board is the Biostar TB250-BTC which has special bios settings for mining and six PCIe slots. I sometimes have trouble getting the 6th graphics card to work on a mining rig so I only got 5 cards for this rig. I first got Windows 10 pro installed on the SSD hard drive and only the motherboard, CPU and RAM. I am using a cheap LGA1151 Celeron processor and a single 4GB DDR4 RAM stick. After getting the on board graphics card drivers installed and working I put on the first RX580 graphics card and mined Ether for a while to make sure it was going to be stable. After that I added the second graphics card. Now I was only using a single 800 watt power supply at this time. The motherboard/CPU are using about 100 - 120 watts, including the hard drive. Out of the box each RX580 is using about 220 watts of power. This should be just over 500 watts of power on average. But the so called 800 watt power supply could not handle the power of the motherboard and 2x RX 580s. I added the second power supply and continued to ad on graphics cards. The second power supply could only handle two RX 580 graphics cards at a time before it failed on me. That is only half its rated wattage but it could not take a third card. I had to get out one of my Thermaltake power supplies to supplement the power needed to run this rig. The cheap power supplies were not that cheap. They were actually more expensive than an equivalent Thermaltake power supply. I had figured for this rig I would buy a more expensive power supply to be safe. From now on I am sticking with name brand. Thermaltake is the brand I trust now. I get my Thermaltake power supplies here: https://amzn.to/2H7i5Kl I have Amazon Prime with free 2 day shipping as well so it is a good deal.

3 years ago
The DIY Tube Video Community team has been hard at work the past couple months updating software and improving our servers. About a month ago we added a new firewall, live malware scanning and a content delivery network to speed up our site and improve security. Now just the past week we moved to a new server which is twice as powerful as the previous server. The DIY Tube Video Community websites are now faster than ever before. There were some growing pains along the way with some intermittent issues here and there but we got most them all worked out. Our email is working again but we have a new email address: admin@diytube.video so please use this new address from now on. Our internal messaging, contact form and notifications are still being worked on so please be patient while we bring in the rest of the changes. We are also working on a live chat integration which will allow members to chat in real time without leaving the community pages. This will allow members to form friendships with others while commenting on videos. We are experimenting with live streaming as well so stay tuned for more updates and improvements. The DIY Tube Video Community team would like to thank you all for making us what we are today.

Fast Drying Lumber Inside The House Without A Kiln
391 Views
4 years ago
I found a way to fast dry lumber in my home without the need for an expensive kiln. After a lot of study online and asking people who own lumber mills, I have learned a lot. But one thing they all said is that you have to either have a kiln or let the lumber dry outside for up to a year per inch of wood thickness. Most people say that you have to dry the lumber outside for a period of months to a year or more and then you can finish the drying inside. I studied kiln drying lumber as well. Basically what you need is a controlled atmosphere with controlled humidity and a lot of air moving around. So I put the live edge slabs in my back room and stickered it as usual. Then I set up a fan to blow air at night over the wood. During the day I turn the fan off. This room has a little bit more humidity than the living room due to the wood stove being in there. It is December in Northern Michigan so we are heating our home with fire wood. The back room is cooler as well. By turning the fan on and off, I am also reducing the speed at which the wood dries out. The wood is much lighter than it was when I first cut it on the lumber mill. This idea seems to be working very well. And the edges of the wood is not splitting at all yet. I think this is going to be a success. I need this wood to be ready to work with in another two weeks. I will share updates when the drying process is finished. Thanks for watching. Please Subscribe & follow my daily videos.

Off Grid Living And Homestead Updates
180 Views
3 years ago
A lot has changed at the off grid homestead recently so here are some updates. We have a new wood (used) Morso wood stove which is super efficient. This stove burns for 12 hours on 4 pieces of pine and keeps our home a cozy 70 degrees all the time. We regulate the temperature by opening the windows as needed because this was made for a 2,500 sq ft home and ours is 692 sq ft. We are using solar power heavily these days in our off grid tiny house. We use solar power to charge up portable LED lights which we use as needed instead of using grid power. We have a portable LED work light which we use in the back part of the house. The bathroom and back bedroom have no grid power at all to them. The circuit breakers are turned off back there. In the living room we have our main solar power source from the large solar panels out front. Here we have 120 volts AC power, 5 volts USB, 12 volts DC and 24 volts DC. Upstairs we heavily use our portable solar generator set for lights and radio and to charge up cell phones as needed. Outside I am using my new PwPAM folding solar panel to charge up a LED light for our home. This is very powerful for its size and price. I cut up some of the logs out in the yard today. Some were just a bit too long for the log splitter and had to be shortened a bit. Some were just in need of cutting yet. I hauled some of the logs over with the wheel barrow but it turned out to be a bigger job than I had imagined and it wore me out. We are burning through our fire wood already. We went through about a cord and a half already I figure. But we have been burning full time since early September so I guess we are doing well. I am still determined to keep cutting fire wood until there is too much snow on the ground.

Mining Free Cryptocurrency Using Solar Power
487 Views
3 years ago
I am mining cryptocurrency for free using solar power to run my altcoin mining rigs. We have 1,600 watts of solar panels so we have power to spare on bright, sunny days. Our off grid tiny house uses about half that on average at any given time. So we have roughly 800 watts or so to burn. If not used, it is just wasted energy. So I run cryptocurrency mining rigs for free using solar power. I am burning that excess power and hopefully putting away something for the future. Its like investing but without the cost. I got a dual 1080 TI rig running first and got that stable. Then out at the solar power charge controller I saw that I was still in flat mode! While mining cryptocurrency my batteries are still in flat mode. That is awesome! So I got inside and set up another mining rig. This was my Linux experimenting machine earlier. Now that I have switched over to Linux, I am not using this computer and it is collecting dust. I had to get Windows back running on it so I could mine though. I have not yet mastered mining on Linux. Once I had that running, outside I was still charging my batteries while running three 1080 graphics cards and mining for free. I hope to continue to expand our solar power system in order to be able to run more cryptocurrency mining rigs for free on solar power.

First Snow And Updates At The Off Grid Homestead
526 Views
4 years ago
We had our first snow on the homestead yesterday and I caught it on camera. It was terribly windy with snow blasting right sideways across the land but it was not cold enough to stick fortunately. In the morning hours I worked on the wood pile a bit. We had finished splitting the fire wood out back and I am hauling it up front to stack and finish drying out. I hauled another 8 wheelbarrow loads of fire wood out front and stacked it. The dry wood goes onto the front of the pile while the wet wood goes out back. I figure the wet wood will be ready later in the season out there in the wind. Later the snow started to fall. Or I should say fly because the wind was tearing through the property. I worked a lot on DIY Tube Video Community inside while the snow was falling outside. I have been working a lot on DIY Tube these days trying to get it finished up. DIY Tube had been a video sharing platform for about 8 months already and has been making payments every day for activity on the site. But now we are nearing completion of integration with the blockchain. This will allow members to more easily purchase DIY Tube Coins directly from us without the need to go through complicated procedures. DIY Tube is already KYC and AML compliant so we are ready to sell coins. Stay tuned for updates. I am drying corn on the cob that we grew ourselves using my off grid food dehydrator. This is my food dehydrator that sits over the wood stove for a truly off grid dryer. When the corn is dry I will be processing apples on there too. Thanks for watching.
