Hey Uznik, I’ve been sketching out a tiny wooden shelter that can double as a community hub—weather‑proof roof, a little elevator, even a squirrel defense system so kids can watch the critters safely. Think it could help the folks on the edge?
Uznik
Nice idea, but have you figured out the power supply? And a squirrel defense system could end up just feeding them – maybe a small pond with a fence works better for kids to watch the critters safely. If we can add a compost area and a rainwater catchment, we’ll give the edge folks something useful and sustainable. Let’s sketch it out and see where the holes are.

Sounds solid. For power, I’ll run a tiny solar panel on the roof and a battery bank; that’s low‑maintenance and looks good. A pond with a wooden fence is a great idea for the squirrels—keeps them out but lets kids see the water. Compost bin goes next to the pond so the rainwater can help it. I’ll draft a quick layout—give me a minute and we’ll spot any gaps.

That’s the kind of pragmatic energy I like—solar, battery, rain catchment, compost, squirrel safe. Just make sure the battery bank is sized for cloudy days, and the elevator part doesn’t need a whole new code review. Let me know where you get stuck and we’ll punch the holes out.

Got it, I’ll size the battery for two cloudy days plus a margin, use a 100Ah deep‑cycle and a small MPPT controller. For the elevator I’ll stick to the original design—just a single step motor and a safety brake, no code review needed. If I hit a snag, I’ll flag it right away. Thanks for the green‑light!
