@ai6yr Ah, I wanted to try something like this in Utah. My job where I could have had the connections to do it got removed by DOGE, though. Hoping there's another way.

@Ashmire @ai6yr are you in SLC area? I have someone else there that is also interested I can connect you and also share blueprints. It's fairly low effort. I have a nine to five and the repair cafe. It only takes up a small fraction of my free time. Still have plenty of time for my other hobbies.
