Friday

Turned over the boards that I painted yesterday so I could paint the other side. Then I stood them on edge and painted the edges. I got the second side and one edge of each board painted before I ran out of white paint! Each board needs the second edge painted. I guess I should have painted faster!

Then I went to the Ahi lot and installed the blocking behind the splices on each side of the gazego barge rafters.

Yesterday, I had plugged in the larger 110 volt mini refrigerator to a second power inverter. As long as the sun was shining directly on the solar panels, it continued to operate, but at about 5 PM when the sun was not directly providing new power, the inverter went into the “overload” mode. This morning I trimmed more branches from the trees above and around the shed roof to get more sunlight on the solar panels. Then I turned on the inverter before going to the Ahi lot. When I returned, the inverter was screaming “overload”! I figure that it will work if I turn it on at about 9AM and then turn it off around 4:30 PM each day.
