Ok, I am going to be moving into a house.
This will be a living blog on things I will be working on.
Goals:
-
Network and security system.
-
Windows. Not MS but physical need to upgrade to double pane with a windstorm cert.
-
Greenhouse and Aquaponics
-
BBQ (possible outdoor kitchen setup)
-
Get a Dog
-
Server (game, media, and storage)
-
Solar power plus backup battery.
Ok let’s go:
Edit: 7/15/19
Network installed, security system installed and HVAC controls installed.
Need to make some repairs to my fence before getting a dog.
Not much to go into window wise found some double panes I like but this will take time.
Green house Aquaponics. This will have to wait till fall, way too hot to build it. Been doing a lot of reading tied up between catfish and tilapia fish wise. Both are good for my climate. Could go straight greenhouse to get some food going and bring in Aquaponics later. Still debating.
Would like to build a small out door kitchen
Thinking a Gig Green Egg smoker and grill combo and using Homebio gas for a burner and to make compost with. That should cover my wants in that category. Need to find a source of reclaimed wood and stone to build the kitchen.
Dog, will post puppy pictures when it happens.
Server, thinking unraid running Plex and Nextcloud. Then have a Windows VM using in home streaming. This will replace my dear bad and gaming machine. Will be doing more in home streaming testing after I move. Of course, I will have a general purpose Debian or FreeBSD VM, because you never know when you need it. Thread ripper looks good for that but will have to evaluate closer to buying the parts.
Solar that will take a while but it would be great to pair with a PHEV and battery backup. Will have to pay cash because doing it on credit hurts the ability to sell the house.
Lawn stuff and tools are already sorted so not much to worry on that end.

The two best operating systems on the open market, right now.
… plus its ridiculously expensive
