My setup
« on: June 22, 2010, 11:40:24 PM »
OK, many of you know I've been tweaking around with my Honeywell setup.  I formerly had an old footstool balanced on a stub of 4" EMT pipe that used to contain a C Band satellite dish.  I've crafted a proper shelf out of a 1" x 10.5" x 2' piece of poplar, painted with 3 coats of flat white latex.  Here's the final setup (with an added bonus; a Stratus rain gauge I received today).

Thanks.  Wondering when I'll get a chance to use the new rain gauge.  It's been a scorcher here for the last week with little relief in sight.

OK, yet another mod.  I moved the thermo/hygro back to the shelf underneath, and put the solar panel above.  I was worried about it's current location (mounted on a post at the boundary of my yard and my very-cement patio under an awning).
