What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I need to bring some more hedge up to the house. 5 tonight, 14 tomorrow, 5 tomorrow night.

 

rottiman, I'm sure you know but remind your friends cell phones at 20 below have 5 minute life spans at 40 below they die.. leave them in warm places..

 

1000lbs of ice melt loaded: check
Plow on truck: check
Full gas tank:check

Aaaaaand the snow goes south....again.

It appears this year the truck repairs are going to be higher than the income it makes. Cmon spring....grass cutting is much more predictable.

 

Calling for some here Sunday. Here's to hoping for some.

 

heck NO!

 

Been there!!

Don't remember what year but I had everything ready for a storm that was forecast to be huge. It ended up having a very sharp cut off line about 40 miles to the East. I had sunshine and a truckload of salt sitting in a clean, dry driveway.

 

I just clicked off the pellet stove and I loaded up the wood stove with sugar maple, the pellet stove will go back on at 8 for the night.

It will be a cold couple of days up here.

 

Done for the day! The 2.5 hour trip home next. My bride has fresh made bread and Belgian beer waiting for me!

 

What??????..................grass cutting...................

 

Here we go..............................................

Here is our week ahead. Time to fire up the smoke dragon to supplement the FPI.

 

Caffeine going in. Cold out dere! Today will consist of inside work!

 

Bitter here this a.m. . Sitting @ -18 f with a stiff NW wind. Sky is clear blue. They are supposed to have the snowmobile "Ride for Dad" prostate cancer fund raising ride in the area here today. I can imagine that is going to be miserable for sure. Gas man right on with the "inside" work.
Everyone have a safe, WARM day.

 

Took the dogs for an early morning walk. We're at 0 so it woke us all up but nothing like your temps rottiman!

Off to Menards with my 11% rebate check to get some insulation for the basement knee wall...always insulating right papadave ?

 

Sure as heck seems like it, but it's some of the best money you can spend.
Results are worth a LOT more than the up front cost. Another one of those "money in the bank" things.

 

Absolutely!

 

Today we're enjoying the extra R30 (for a total of R60) I put in the attic last year.

 

I think my next big project will be crawling around the attic doing insulation installation.
