Hmmm, sounds like it’s only in conduit on the outside of the house….

Anyway, if so, don’t burry those staples….
You got a hose laying there ready? Wood deck or concrete patio?

Patio stones with a foot of packed gravel. Hose is about ten feet away. And the tap has a frozen proof tap. So if we get it, everything should be good. Haha . And the staples are for 6/3. So it should leave a little room.

That's called a frost proof, don't forget to drain your hose every time after use.

Or at least disconnect the hose so the faucet can drain...assuming it was installed on an angle down to let it drain. That copper pipe splits with just a little ice in there. I have 5 on my shop and a couple years ago we pulled 4 hoses in the Fall and the one that wasn't split about an inch and it took a month for the insulation to dry.

Just came in from the outdoors and the snow is up to around 15" as measured on my 18" boots. In a couple more hours I'll go push in the dark so I can move snow before it turns over to rain about 11 PM...Spring is coming!!

Ok good, presumably you’ve got it real level. Is it by the bedroom door? They still telling you March or so on delivery?

It’s drained, waiting for the hot tub

Even if I left it out all winter, it would be just a night in the garage with the stove on.

Yup, and tap was turned on to let that water out too. I have a shut off in side the basement.
Spring means hot tub.

It’s as level as I could get it. So perfect. Haha. It will be about 15’ from the basement door. And five feet from the garage. Will always be a fire on in the winter.
Still March. Fingers crossed.

The storm is weakening. Only 6 to 8 “ now. With a little luck it will change to rain. I hate the snow, rain, then back to snow. Lr knows what I mean. Wish I had a tractor. My wife asks what I would do with a tractor, answer, anything I want.

I pulled out the blower for the front loader...damn snow was so wet it would only throw it 15 to 20 feet...still better than pushing.

I spent 2 summers in Ft Myers in high school working construction. It was mostly swamp and skeeters then...different now...enjoy the crab stuffed flounder.

You’re really dating yourself….
I hope to do some back water fishing. They’re fresh out of sea spidies down there, but the orange, red and yellow are in good repertoire…

 

[Montecresto]

A bristly 21* this morning with an eventual high of 39*
Leaving around 3:00 and should be in Shreveport for the night…

And here I thought you were enjoying retirement. You’d abruptly become the most popular man in your precinct……

Not my fault when I was born.

My Dad and I did a fair amount of float fishing the mangroves. That's the only place I've see a Florida panther. We hunted the Everglades for wild hogs back when they had a majority of European boar blood...60+ years ago. Now they are mixed with former domestic pigs and I've heard they don't taste as good. The so called "Russian boar" tastes different too but they do make a very large and tasty rack of ribs. Turks hate them since they aren't supposed to eat pork although lots do. Our Rod and Gun club in Izmir set up almost weekly hog hunts and we killed 10 to 15 hogs each trip. The native farmer loved us since the hogs tore up their gardens and crops. The hogs had rib racks almost 3' long with not a lot of meat but it was tasty too. We smoked/grilled the backstrap, drank some local beer and slept in the club slot machine room...those were good days.

35F rain on top of the snow...sucks a big one!!

That's a long road trip.

Yes Sir and really bad this time of year due to the snow birds.

We have a new issue:

Heavy snow and rising temperatures combined with wind will create
widespread areas of unstable snow today resulting in very
dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain is not
recommended. Avalanches may run long distances and can run into
mature forests, valley floors, or flat terrain.

Up to 38F...guess I'll go blow snow or push if it's too wet to blow....or I might take nap.

No, such things aren’t anyones fault….

 

[Montecresto]

Yeah, with business in the middle….
Kind of an annual event. Always a nice break from the cold, good time of year to hold it.

Maybe showing my age indicates a concern I've survived this long!
