“Work in progress”

Fitting lights to a Metcalfe barn kit. Made slightly trickier because the barn had a floor.

Wiring for the lights will run to the front corner of the building where they will terminate on a small piece of perfboard holding the resistors that allow 12v to be used. The 12V cable will run down and out of the bottom and be very short, just enough to bend over and slot into a gap cut into the foam base that the barn will sit on. There’s a second building yet to be added to this structure.

More pics to follow this evening.

Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).

I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.

Edit: Almost forgot! I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.
