I have been sandblasting like crazy. That sandblasting cabinet I paid too much for is so convenient. I guess it was worth the money. The only problem I have with it is being able to see what I am doing inside. I have a vacuum set up to suck the dust (created from the break down of the sand) out of the cabinet, but it doesn't fully solve the problem. In fact, I have to clean the filter of the vacuum after only a few minutes of sandblasting. I should build a cyclone filter to take the fine dust out before it gets to the shop vac, but for now I will continue plodding along this way.

Now that I had the probe stuffed into the cistern and the connector soldered on, I figured I should connect up the whichamathing and try it out.

I connected the power cable as well as the DE9 connector.

Since the prototype was a huge success, I got to have some fun burning myself with the soldering iron.

As mentioned earlier, we get raw water from a local reservoir at a slow rate. For water storage we have a cistern that holds approximately 12000 imperial gallons. From there the water is pumped into an intricate system of pipes running all over the place. I am sure you don't want to listen to me rant about our complex water system. I think my father is the only person who really understands what every valve does. Anyway, we needed a way to tell how much water was in the cistern and just like that this here project was born.
