Document steps to fabricate open water level sensors and put in a .md file in appropriate location Here's a rough draft

Chop 1.5” sch-40 pvc into 8” sections (nb: may want shorter so that cables reach)
Drill 9/64” hole 5 cm from top of pvc
3D print top end cap, sand
3D print bottom end cap, sand
Re-tap NPT threads
Cut solar panel cable terminator
Pass solar cable into pvc, taking care to give enough slack inside to make connection/solder to microUSB connector and enough outside to be able to maneuver solar panel onto top end cap
Solder microUSB connector to solar cable
Solder stacking headers onto adalogger featherwing
Update system firmware on Boron
Insert microSD card into featherwing
Stack boron on featherwing
Attach cellular antenna
Solder 3-pin cable with female receptacle onto featherwing spare pins
Solder 3-pin cable with male block onto ultrasonic distance sensor
Drill holes in top end cap for solar mounting screws
If end caps are sanded enough to slide onto PVC all the way, epoxy in place. Allow to fully dry/cure.
Thread distance sensor into bottom end cap with pipe tape around sensor threads (3 wraps in proper direction)
Connect 3-pin cables for distance sensor, through inside of PVC
Insert remaining electronics
