USB solar panel off AliE with about 260mm x 260mm panel surface area, $13.

The goal of course is 10 watts (5v 2amp) in bright sunlight.

*Almost* at the point where I can comfortably give these out as Xmas gifts.

Dockteck 6-in-1 USB-C PD Ethernet Hub with 4K 60Hz HDMI, 1Gbps Ethernet, USB-C Data Port, 100W Power Delivery, 2 USB 3.0

Since the official steam dock has been delayed indefinitely, will try this one instead. Newer, so it likely does not exceed the 15 watts or less that it kind of needs to be.

I had done a similar pressure washer purchase. I have a gasser but its cumbersome, loud and really annoying to pull out to spray something off quickly. I basically just wanted a ready to rinse station by my garage door so I had purchased that same Greenworks (but a Kobalt) washer and put it on the wall, and it sucked. It leaked from the bottom, it was noisy, the gun felt cheap. So I took it back and ended up buying a Karcher K2000 on Kijiji for the same price, its a $400 washer for $100 cash. I took it apart off its rolling frame, got rid of the crappy hose, attached it to 50ft of rubber hose from PA, put up a hose reel, added a gun mount, and plumbed it to the sink in my garage for full time water (and easy to drain for winter).......For relatively cheap I have a quick and easy to use pressure washer setup that works great, much quieter (induction motor and wobble plate pump). Sure its not 2.3GPM, but the number of times I'm doing heavy jobs is minimal, and its just like whipping out the garden hose but better

Looks awesome, especially because you customized it to work as a wall mount.

This is awesome, I really want a set up like this in my garage as well instead of having to wheel out the gasser for quick rinses. I saw a company I think either in the US or UK that had wall mount pressure washers for this purpose. Can't remember the name now but they didn't ship to Canada at the time I was looking into it.

There are a few brands out there for the higher GPM stuff. They're all over $1k I think. I'd love one. They also require a 20+ amp breaker. Most garage outlets are only 15 amp, so that's headache.

Edit: I just remembered you're not allowed to wash your car with soap on your driveway in the city. I just move into town, and have done it once with no one complaining, yet. If they ask, I'm using lemon juice and essential oils.

Technically you can't even rinse your car in the driveway, regardless if the rain would've done the same thing anyways.

Actually you can, in Calgary, as long as it's "only water" and the vehicle's "not overly dirty".

But honestly it's such fine line that I just don't bother.

That’s why I like having my driveway/garage behind my house, can’t see me washing unless you’re my two neighbours who don’t care.

Word, front drive homes suck.

Well it says on the street. Which is not your driveway.

Back alley, unpaved especially, garages are horrible.

I enjoy the front drive home~ings

[vengie]

Best is when you have a front attached and a rear detached garage on an alley.

That's where The Help lives.
Agree.

Paved back alley FTW. They just street swept it this past week, it’s like Christmas!

That is certainly a statement alright

[Tik-Tok]

How could I NOT buy this after seeing it?

Note, this isn't for me, but I'm going to sneak it into the firepit at the next BBQ or party I attend.

Such a troll face from the colonel too
