The older I get the more I agree with this.. that said I'd suggest even if you decide to go sans screen at least run the power and wiring for it in case you change your mind in the future... even if it's just a nice surprise for whoever owns the house after you leave!

Oh, I will definitely do that. I plan to run pretty much everything but water out there.

As for the future, I plan to leave in a pine box! :D


I somehow missed this! Fun fact: there is no code restrictions in my town against running a garden hose 30 feet long just 2 inches under the dirt.

Note hose-sink:

And humor me and be kind if you note plaque on the door... it’s from my dear mother who thinks I’m nine years old.

Time to give this thing some situation awareness. Fun fact- OpenCV already has a shallow/ manageable image classifier neural network in it :D

If that fails, I gotta figure out sockets to make this talk with my linux box.

Same here.. when I moved into this brand new house 6 years ago within days the brand new plasterboard was riddled with holes and huge chunks missing.... some still haven’t been finished.

Oh nothing will.. you’re worth more to me alive. At least until Indigo 9 comes out with the ability to control a Rosie from the Jetsons like robot.

Ok I just asked my wife and she's ok with that. She suggested it'd be a good idea for us to be involved during the build so it's more to our tastes than yours, what with that pillo.. I mean.. unexplained circumstance that's yet to happen.

Did you see the 52” on the gantry in the previous pic? When I say happy place, I mean it :)


Oh, I saw that (in prior pics too). I'm designing a new house now that will definitely have a happy place. Right now, the idea is for 25' x 25' (625ft). Don't know if I'll put a screen in there or not; sometimes happiness is being away from screens for me. :D


Quite honestly, i only use it 10% of the time for TV in the shop. It swivels around to face out to the bar when I have guests, but I mainly use it to Airplay my ipad, on which I draw schematics. I also have a Grafana dashboard (hosted on a rasbpi) that is sized for the screen.

Yes but that involves having children nearby and generally I try to avoid them.
