Some people know I’m a bit nuts and over the weekend for fun I built a few faraday boxes to hopefully keep my electronics safe in case of…  well whatever might happen in our crazy world.

I bought a steel garbage can, picked up some cardboard boxes and lined the interior, nothing conductive is touching the metal so enclosed my stuff should be fairly protected.  After doing the quick insulation, I put a cell phone and radio inside to test and neither could receive any electromagnetic signals so that’s a positive!  In addition to the garbage can, I also did a few extra 50 cal ammo boxes I had laying around. 🙂  Colin wants his creature comforts at the end of the world. 😉

Other then that we didn’t do too much, the weather was nice but we hung around the house mainly.  One of our rental properties was vacated at the end of last year and needed a bit of work done to make it look nice, that was completed late this week and I just listed it for rent.  The previous tenants while leaving a bit of a mess were pretty good and I hope I can find another great tenant to work with.
