    I'm debating running power to it or not. All I really want is a bit of interior light for winter nights. It'd be a lot of cable to get out there since the septic system is in the way of the more direct path, so I'm thinking of just doing a small external solar panel / interior light kit. I see some <$200 kits that look decent.

    It'd be kind of nice to be able to keep a battery tender plugged in so the ATV/tractor always start in the winter, but the ATV was always fine even left out under a tarp and not plugged in. If they ever aren't, I should probably just buy a new battery anyway.

    It’s not uncommon for people to run businesses out of there home. If I were looking to buy form then I would start doing more research. Find a copy of their DBA, some reviews, etc. maybe they are a legit business. Usually though if it’s too good to be true it usually it.

    Theres so many scams today it’s unreal. Always better to be safe than sorry.

    I know right
    Even with the safety net of cc/PayPal fraud coverage it’s still sketchy
    For example:
    We got our kid a trampoline for Christmas. I ordered one in October from Amazon that was the same brand but half price of anywhere else. I ordered it, confident in Amazon’s ability to deal with fraud
    The next day a sketchy fedex van showed up to my house with a very large very heavy box from the manufacturer labeled “1 of 2”. ok weirdly fast but whatever.
    2nd box never showed up and after the max grace period Amazon refunded my cc. I found some reviews from over the last decade that consisted of people trading parts they ordered for parts they needed lol so this has been going on forever.
    I can’t see who is benefiting from this scam as somebody is paying to ship these incomplete trampoline kits
    So now I have a pile of the un-fun parts of a trampoline I need to dispose of lol

    TLDR some weird shit going on out there

    The only “before” picture I have, just prepared the floor for luan. You can see where the old hydronic baseboard heating was on the wall.

    Is the second picture a picture of the hardwood covered to protect it while you re-do drywall?

    I picked that up from shipyard workers in Japan, they'd put this down and tape the joints in any compartment doing work or heavy trafficked areas- didn't have a single damaged deck.
