Cheap Evergreen Trees for Windbreaks and Privacy

#privacy, #windbreaks, #evergreenprivacy, #evergreenhedge
I purchased some evergreen trees online to use as wind breaks and to block out views of the neighbors. Some on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2RLo7nf . These came out to about $2 USD per tree and where shipped moist in a wax box. That is very cheap for trees.

These trees get very tall and grow fast making them an excellent choice for quick privacy.

Built a Solar Panel Frame from Old Lumber for my Solar Water Pump

This is just an update to the solar water pump system I have setup offgrid near the lake on our land. This frame allows me to keep the panels high above the ground and tilt them when needed.

I used leftover wood I had in the barn, so it was just my time invested. I now have space for 3 100 watt solar panels if I want.

Its been a great off-grid solution to move water to my pecan trees and other plants that are over 1500′ away and 30+ feet uphill.

What to do with Two Shipping Containers

I got these 2 shipping containers and want to make something cool out of them. What do you think? I am thinking either a cabin or a workshop. These CONEX boxes are in good shape and have pretty decent floors in them. They are High Cubes and 40′ long. #shippingcontainerhome #conex #shippingcontainer
