Updates

Changelog and improvements for The Hermitage.

Guides Reorganized Into Build It / Fix It / Upgrade It / Controlled Chaos

  • Reworked the Guides index into four sections so articles have an actual home instead of living in one undifferentiated pile.
  • Added a new Build It guide for installing a water heater leak alarm before your floor discovers indoor swimming.
  • Added a separate Upgrade It guide for the overbuilt Wi-Fi text-alert version, because apparently a buzzer by itself was too emotionally simple.

DIY TV Antenna Guides Added

  • Published two new DIY TV antenna guides in the Guides section: a high-performance bowtie UHF build and a compact loop UHF build.
  • Both articles include step-by-step instructions, built-in diagrams, practical placement advice, and rough current-market parts pricing.
  • Added the new antenna guides to the main Guides index so they are easier to find and use for actual build planning instead of vanishing into the void.
