Brilliant.  I would never even thought about making such a thing, and you make it look easy.  Great work.

You have it good down under.  As Ed has mentioned, there are very few 2nd hand panels available in S.A.  Also, unless your panels are secured really well, they have a nasty habit of getting up and walking to the closest low income settlement.  My neighbour had his solar pump panels disappear in the middle of the night.  It would seem that they weren't happy with their position on top od a 5m pole, so they somehow sawed the pole down and walked away, never to be seen again.

Hi Ed, you'll never guess what came out of my boot this morning.  This is the first day in about 50 that i have put shoes on, so he has made himself at home.  Luckily was dead and came out on the 1st shake

LOL, ja spiders can grip when they want to.

Good one for your perseverence in getting that wheel off.  I would have lost my patience after it broke off like that and taken an 8 lb hammer to the thing

VP, you are lucky.  Our understaffed police force have got their hands full trying to enforce the lockdown rules.  Too many people in South Africa are just ignoring the call to stay at home and are out riding their motorbikes or driving around in their cars for fun.  More people have been arrested for breaking lockdown rules, than have contracted the virus.  Our government has just authorized 72 000 soldiers to be deployed to assist the police.

Hi VP, you seem to have an endless supply of old engines to restore.  I'm sure it keeps you pretty busy, where do you find the time to do police work?
