What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

We're getting ready to order wood for the armoire. Of course, that means that we need to have done all the drafting to be sure we have everything. On top of that, we need all the tools. We have most, but we still need a circular saw and some clamps. I bought some pretty big clamps when I was planning on making furniture after we first moved here, but this thing will be pretty big. After looking at all kinds of clamps, I got some ones that are just seatbelt-like straps with four little corner braces and a thing to tighten it all up. That will be enough for the sides, but they will be too short for clamping the top and bottom. I'm thinking that the solution here may be to buy some long strap of the same width as the strap that comes with the tool, take the existing strap out of the tool, put in the new strap and little corner braces, and use it like that. We'll see how it goes.

In other news, the controller for our solar panels is making all kinds of noise. I couldn't figure out what was going on up there, but I finally looked at it and saw that it had a picture of power lines on the little panel. I think it has finished filling up the battery and is now sending power back to the grid. It clicks back and forth between sending power to the grid and to the house, as as it does so, it makes literal clicking noises. It isn't awful, but it was confusing. For people who have rooms in their houses, it probably makes sense to put the controller into a mud room or something. If you just live in a barn, though, you have to deal with the clicky controller.
