i worked outside my whole life. The trick is not to go inside and get warm, just dress warm and keep moving. Haha. Once you go in you sweat and then you get cold faster so stay out and work hard. Been there done that. Haha

I’m sorry for jumping in and detailing the thread like that. I didn’t want to start a political rant but I did say it so I own it. See I grew up in that once great town In my mind. my family were police officers there, my grandfather once Owned the famed hardware store in town and my uncle owned one of the beast known taverns frequented by many of the Universtys sports teams and coaches alike that was run out of business due to the changing government there and that’s a known fact. I still work in that town. Don’t misunderstand me, I know there is an issue with homelessness and many have a ligit reason. Just the city has just masked the problem instead of trying to help in better ways that’s all I’m saying. The government that’s been in place the last 20 yrs there have become the feel good not the want to really help government. As for me, Ive helped what I can with our vets at the local VFW with my coach and past commander there For things for vets coming home to give them support that my help them get jobs when they get home so they can live a good life and to not become homeless.
That said....let’s get back to the weather! Getting 7-8” of snow they say tonight. We got 12” at my cabin up north 2 nights ago on top of the 9” they got the week before. I’m gona have to get up there with the plow soon so I can get in to the camp. -6 up there right now!
All good here. And I can’t even get into my camp in Cape Breton. Too much ice from all the rain lately. We don’t have any snow on the ground in Halifax. All gone. Don’t mind that a bit. A snowmobile would be great in Cape Breton. Most people there have one. I need tracks for my bike like IDBuckshot. Very cool.I’m sorry for jumping in and detailing the thread like that.

Yeah I agree, in fact it’s ignored by everybody. I grew up in California, we were the shining city on the hill when it came to mental health institutions, an example for the rest of our country. Then a governor came along and decided it was a waste of money and shuttered half of our 30 odd institutions turning them out onto the streets. We will always have a percentage of the population that suffers from mental health and its obligatory for the rest of us to take care of them.
And to the weather, it will be sunny and warm (50’s) where I’m at in New Mexico at 8,000’ the snow on the ground should be melting.

It’s not 50 but it is 40 here today. It’s beautiful out. It would be a great day on the bike. I guess we’re not going to get anything of the cold and snow. It’s all going up and over. To Quebec. Haha. I wish it would stay like this ALL winter. Wouldn’t bother me. I don’t have a snowmobile anyway. Haha. Stay warm down there.

A good friend just retired from President of a big furnace oil company up here. He wasn’t happy when I put in a Heat pump. Haha. Oh well. We still have oil for hot water. Our bill for oil so far this year is about $160. And our electric bill is $93 over last year. That’s with electric heat on in the basement. Our neighbor filled their tank twice so far. We usually spend over $3,000 on oil each year. So hopefully the Heat pump will save some money. Good for air in the summer too. The house is staying at 23c or 73f , so the heat is good. Once Muscat Falls comes on line, power will stay good for years. Power for all. Haha hopefully. The U. S. is going to benefit big time off it too. It’s a huge Dam project in Newfoundland. Good luck this week. Stay warm.

I’m the only guy in our shop that was trained in fuel oil. It’s kinda a dying trade here. I worked on them for quite a few years. Good heat but messy and needs maintenance regularly. I have propane and have an air to air HP with gas back up. I fill my tank 1-2 times a year as opposed to the 4 times before. I heat my barn with a propane unit heater and a tankless WH. What type of HP do u have?

Yup, theyget you for that. Not unusual to have a tank in the ground back in the day. It sucks when u have to get rid of it.
I bought a LG . Good to -25. So it says. It’s been to -20 and still good. I have the furnace set at 20 and it hasn’t had to come on yet. And yeah we have gas off our coast and coming ashore but our great government thought it would be better to send it to Boston rather than let us use it. A few businesses have it but not many homes. But the HP works good. My friend in Alberta with the ranch has a big horse barn with a huge national gas heater in it . No horses so not using it. My buddy in Ontario raises horses and just put up this post and been barn. Probably done by now.

I guess I should have sent a picture of the HP too. Mini split. Inside and outside.

That picture is of my camp before it was renovated. That’s what it looked like as a schoolhouse. Except for the little bathroom on the side. Haha
