Update Aug 10 2012 CDT
The repair/patch went well.
Though it took a little longer than I hoped, it was withing what I planned and all temp fixes and parts are doing their jobs.
Since I will need to eventually move out these temporary measures I plan to do a few changes to the way each device in my network is powered as well.
I am slowly working to take most of our house off the grid, its a long term goal but I am still working on the "saving a watt" part, as this is something I can more easily afford
This involves moving some of the services I historically ran from here to my server in town it's mostly sitting around barely loaded anyway.
All of anotherpower will still be here and powered by renewables however.
This lessens the need for most if not all of the always on, power hungry gear that I have that is NOT powered by renewables.
This includes a move to put in devices that can all be directly powering them from the low voltage (24 volt) partof the RE system though various more efficient means. I will document how that all goes
