This Better Work...

[@micaiahwolfe]

Hey Matt, just so you know, when the goats get bigger horns and stick their heads through the fence, they can get stuck and die. Unfortunately this has happened to some of our goats. You might try using different fencing that they can’t put their heads through. (Like so he can see this.) P.S. We usually burn their horns when they are younger so they don’t grow.

[@7thsluglord363]

Can confirm, had goats, they get their horns stuck easier than people might think. They also have the ability to destroy literally anything they can get to... So i think it might be in Matts interest to get the herds, and the resort, fully separated.

Matt, You need to get some rolls of Chicken Wire to put on the inside of the other wire to prevent the goats from sticking their heads through and getting hung up in the fence and harming themselves ! Also , get a load of sand to put down on the ground in that metal building before putting any straw or mulch down.

[@jamesf4329]

Hey Matt, may I suggest building a small 3 sided shelter for the generator that's open away from the airstream to help deflect some of the noise away.

[@crackinjahcs]

Even a simple sandbag wall can reduce the noise quite a bit. A shelter would protect it from sun and rain also.

You could always get a duel fuel generator. We use them on the job site all the time and one 20lb propane tank should give you about 14-22 hours of run time(depending on load). I'm sure you can get a kit to retrofit your current generator also.

[@calvinh.8882]

Matt, That one big rock is sweet! I bet the "all-natural bird bath" in that big rock is a mortar created by many generations of Native Americas grinding acorns in it. I'd keep that one for sure and make sure it's never damaged. It was most likely made by one of the bands of the Coahuiltecan Nation. Most mortars are round, but I've seen many that are oval, and that one you have is very unique. Very cool piece.

Glad to see that you got a much larger generator for the travel trailer, What a lot of people don't know is just because a generator will run the AC unit doesn't mean it is running it properly. If the generator isn't producing the proper amps the AC may work but it is really bad on the AC's compressor and will cause it to burn up.

[@brianjfsabo]

Hey Matt, may I suggest a solar generator out there? You can put the panels on top of the airstream and then you just need to get a power wall for it

[@jimmarshall5453]

The huge roof of the administration building would be ideal for solar.

[@zx1100a1]

I bought an extended run kit for my 3500 and hooked it to a 12 gallon tank. It would have been cheaper than purchasing that 7500. It has a pump so no gravity feed and will work on any size remote tank to suit your needs. Converting the 3500 to propane is also an option. It makes a little less power than gas but run time will be as long as you want.

Just a thought if your new one doesn't run long enough, you could put a "Y" in your gas line and have a long enough hose to drop in a 5 gallon can of gas. Just keep it about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the can. Just a suggestion? Just now saw the part of the rock with the built in bird bath, not telling you what to do, I waold put some small rocks in it so it's only about 2 inches deep. Years ago I didn't know better until afterwards, if it's too deep, birds can drown really easy. You probably already know that.

[@iankenney6515]

I'd be shocked if you ever see this but... Honda generators are absolutely worth every extra penny. Long story short, Got stuck at my friend's house years ago when parts of Western Washington got hit by a really bad ice storm. We very rarely get those. There were so many (actual) trees down over power lines in the ten miles between between our places that i could not get home for five days. In those five days his little Honda EU 2200 ran all if the lights, refrigerator, entire entertainment system (lots of music and tv) and anything we needed to charge. All while being quiet enough on the front porch for us to have normal conversations while sitting out there. Pretty sure we went through less than ten gallons of gas running it the whole time. Needless to say I bought one shortly thereafter.

Matt, you should just convert the generator over to propane! Runs longer off bigger tanks and is less to worry about!

[@grntitan1]

Actually most generators run less efficient on propane or natural gas vs gasoline.

They run quieter on propane and they are more cost effective on propane. We've run all our big generators on propane to power houses.

Matt should call the trailer the Chrome Dome or some variant of that 👍

[@ricktomlin5529]

Hi Matt. A cheaper option would have been to bypass the onboard fuel tank and run a fuel line to a much larger external fuel tank. You could get a tank big enough to run the generator for weeks. The other option would be to install solar panels with battery storage to run the airstream and have the generator as a backup for that. Zero noise with solar panels🫥😆

The goat shelter needs to be insulated against the heat and, perhaps to a lesser degree, cold. Without insulation, all it is, is an oversized tin oven. Probably should have concrete floor added to the goat shelter side as well as the feed store half so that water can't run underneath the walls and make any bedding into a soggy moldy mess. It will be far easier to clean out a concrete floor than a rocky floor.
