We are moving to new servers. Some things may not function properly during this time.

My PlayHouse

My PlayHouse is all about High end Enterprise Server and Storage equipment. I run quit a bit of a data center in my House, with a hundred plus servers, on and offline. I like sharing the hardware and what I know about it.
I am a big fan of Lenovo / IBM servers, and so those are often a big part.
My PlayHouse started with me working on my old house. I do not do that as much anymore, but sometimes I still do.

My PlayHouse has spring warter in the basement - 017

201 2 Miscellaneous Free

In the basement of My PlayHouse there is a well. It´s only 4ft11in beep and i have spring warter all year aound.

I have to pump out the water to avoid getting water in the basement. And I use a booster pumps. But when you have at least 260gal a day of free spring water, then it's foolish not to use it for something.

How Snow can help you, with your Insulation - 002

167 3 Miscellaneous Free

In This video we looks at My Playhouse, and where my snow melts, and looking at my isolation.
When it snows, the snow will melt first, on your house where insulation is worst.

The greenest energy, is the energy that is not used.

Automatic circuit breaker install in laboratory power supply - 031

151 2 Miscellaneous Free

I built this laboratory power supply, back in the 7-8 grade in primary school. We have in Denmark, something called "youth school" Very roughly translated. It is basically evening school for teens. But you can attend to many subjects, think that the at the time was nearly 100 subjects. And it's free,, here.

But, I built this power supply,In the electronics course and have been happy with it ever since. But it tends to blow the fuse.
and when I was on my way to buy new fuses for it again, I found a Automatic circuit breaker... or rather 5, It is so cheap in China.

I do the install, in this video.

Refills the solar system, with anti-freeze coolant - 024

167 3 Miscellaneous Free

My solar panels for hot water, has a small leak. Therefore, occasionally I'll filled them with a little more coolant.
It's good to get it done while it is not yet too hot.

Reuse pipe fittings - Clean after 50 years of use - 014

209 2 Miscellaneous Free

Recycle fittings after 50 years of use, they are however, cleaned first.

When carrying out piping work, the pipes are often not the most expensive part. Often it ends up, that all the small pieces that you use to assemble the tubes with "fittings" being more expensive.

But you can save, what else could be waste, and save money next time.

Problem with snow under the roof - 007

182 1 Miscellaneous Free

Snow blowing in under the roof, and begins to melt,, is bad!
I was awakened by the unpleasant sound of water which dripped down inside the housing. It turned out to be drifting snow, that was blown into my subroof, and because I was heat up the house, it was beginning to melt in the attic and trickle down through the insulation, and drip.

185 3 Miscellaneous Free

A house that has been without heat for 5-6 days in with outside tempratuere below freezing, gets really cold. Previously I could use the entire weekend on heating up the house, and it would only be nice and warm on Sunday when I was going home again.
With all the improvements I've made​​, with insulation,new doors and windows, wood burner and heat pump.

Heating a 1808.3ft² house from 43.8ºF to about 70ºF in 4-5 houres.

Thermostats, Radiators and Heat Pump - 003

193 2 Miscellaneous Free

There's really no reason to keep your house as warm, when you are not there or are sleeping. With a smart thermostat, you can set how your week looks. When you are at work, always out Thursday night, when you go to bed and get up again,,etc. That way you can save energy when you are not home or do not need it.

If you have a geothermal heat pump, or air to water. Much energy can be saved by being able to lower the flow temperature on the pump. This can be done by having large radiator. A large radiator can heat the same room with less temperature water.
