Need a 2 week drought

[miller1098]

we decided a couple of years ago to take advantage of the rain that we have around here it's taken until now to get everything going.Now the very thing that we want to take advantage of is making our life difficult :/ .3 weeks ago we started building a weir in our stream to power a turbine,man it's been a battle.this is how far we've got.

I love the idea Hugh!! Hopefully the rains will subside soon so you can get this project completed and get off the grid! Hope you and the family are well, JIM

Good luck with the break in rainfall Hugh, it's been pants over here in Lincs. too with harvesting being very sporadic up to now with little chance of a change in the weather. The driers will be working overtime this year I reckon.
How long should it take to install the generator if things improve?

Nah, I remember a drought up here. Must have been '79-80ish. Hasn't stopped raining since, mind. Keeps the fluffy.
