The project was setting up a pump to pull water from our rain tanks into a new paddock, so it involved both plumbing and wiring — the two most fiddly disciplines, you really need the right parts, improvising is bad. Then I ran out of 90° elbows, discovered the pump had a leaky fill plug, cracked the waterproof electrical junction box, and to cap it all off discovered at the last minute that I’d installed the pump backwards.

@jacob@social.jacobian.org you’ve earned the use of a few swear words or perhaps some deep sighs after that ordeal

@jacob@social.jacobian.org At least you're all set up to pump electrified mud into your rain barrels now!
