The shores are rocky and make it difficult to pull the dock out of the water and onto the shore for winter. Ideally we would be able to build a dock that can stay in the water all year round (even as it freezes into ice). Additionally, the lake is controlled by a dam, and there can be fluctuations in the water level, so we need to provide slack in the mooring line for the dock. text/html 2025-08-11T00:11:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.mikedabay.ca/doku.php?id=electrical&rev=1754871086&do=diff The electrical system is mainly solar powered and stored in an array of batteries. Solar Panels The solar panels are Conergy 260P panels. There are six panels on each side of the car path. Batteries There are 12 NCT-13 Lead Calcium batteries. These are all wired in series. This makes the battery bank a 24V system. text/html 2025-08-07T20:07:40+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.mikedabay.ca/doku.php?id=foobar&rev=1754597260&do=diff eojrnbfl text/html 2025-08-10T23:53:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.mikedabay.ca/doku.php?id=start&rev=1754870016&do=diff Hello! Let's make this a great space for keeping MiKeDa Bay in great shape! Here is a rough list of current projects (please add to it!): * New Dock * finish the deck * window trim * door jams * flooring * fire place surround * water tank level sensor * understanding the electrical and power setup of the camp * toolshed inventory All TODOs Water System How to’s: * Opening camp * Closing down camp * Lighting the boiler * Priming the water pump text/html 2025-08-07T20:07:40+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.mikedabay.ca/doku.php?id=toolshed&rev=1754597260&do=diff Header 1 Header 2 Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3 Cell 4 text/html 2025-08-09T01:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.mikedabay.ca/doku.php?id=water_system&rev=1754702520&do=diff Water System Water is pumped to the cottages from the lake. An electric pump near Grandpa's camp pumps water to a tank on top of the hill, which is then fed to the cottages.

Water level sensors are cheap and can run on a trivial amount of power, similar to the clock on the radio or microwave, which are always on. I could build something like
