Old MacDonald had a shed
Things have progressed over the years, not just at old MacDonald's farm, but in lifestyle blocks and small farm holdings. These progressions in technology and machinery are to keep up with the times (and possibly the Joneses'), and with all improvements going well, should allow more of a quiet spell in the evenings.
Improvements we have seen in this market are:
- A new irrigation & pump system upgrade
- M/O/G inlet has been installed
- The meter board had an upgrade
- VSD and UPS to keep the power steady
- Remote control gates installed
- Has been thinking about adding solar, just haven't cleared that shed out yet.
- There is still a 50 year old main switchboard on the wall in said shed...
A switchboard will often hum away quietly in the shed for a number of years until it takes the main part. No rhythm, wrong pitch and a smelly circuit breaker. Old MacDonald had a shed. Again
In an endeavour to modernize or update systems, the main switchboard can get overlooked. This can lead to an overload on the circuits and no future proofing. As more modern upgrades draw more power and demand quality power, the more it makes sense to tidy up the shed.
