The aunt that just died was not good for the past five years, but my aunt that’s still here, lives by herself. Doesn’t have anybody looking after her. Family and friends bring her food once and awhile.
When I get done running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I’m going to go meet her Cap and find out a whole bunch of stuff....The aunt that just died was not good for the past five years, but my aunt that’s still here, lives by herself.

She will tell you like it is. I guess when you get to 100, your allowed.

Do you test the ice by driving out on the ice, and if you don’t fall through, the ice, it’s good.
She’s one of a kind.When I get done running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I’m going to go meet her Cap and find out a whole bunch of stuff....

i test it with a cordless drill and an 18" auger bit marked at 8",12".i test at the very edge then at around 30 meters, if it's over 8" thick then i drive out on it.too much $$ invested to be foolishDo you test the ice by driving out on the ice, and if you don’t fall through, the ice, it’s good.
I still can’t get up to my camp. Still 3’ in the driveway.
Hopefully by the long weekend.

last test i bottomed it out so it was very thick but there's lots of snow insulating the ice now.
You can never have too many outlets or too much garage space.66* and partly cloudy today. First morning without a frost, started out at 40*
Today I finish wiring the house. I cannot believe I have to buy another 250’ roll of wire on my way out. That makes 1,750’ for a 1,300 sf house....
I can remember when a house had 4 15 amp fuses and probably 100’ of wire.
They require wall plugs a minimum of every 6 feet and a minimum of every 2 feet along kitchen countertops. An exterior plug on front and back of house, three smoke detectors hard wired, all boxes have to be pig tailed now and a kitchen has to have a minimum of 2 circuits. Mine has 5. I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome from twisting wire.
Anyway, my electrician friend will be out tomorrow to inspect my work, if it’s good, then he’ll pull permit on line and call for inspection next week.
All but two windows are installed downstairs. I have to rent a sky track to install second floor windows.
the guy i bought my cottage from built a really nice, well insulated garage to store machines,the only problem is he went around the permit issue by not wiring it to anything.it's got interior/exterior plugs that aren't attached to anything.i have to run an extension cord an outside plug that powers it,i literally have to plug in my garage
That's when you wire it into your house panel yourself and then plead ignorance that it wasn't done right and you bought it that way. Only works though if you never tell anyone.the guy i bought my cottage from built a really nice, well insulated garage to store machines,the only problem is he went around the permit issue by not wiring it to anything.it's got interior/exterior plugs that aren't attached to anything.i have to run an extension cord an outside plug that powers it,i literally have to plug in my garage

Oh I know. The rules are about safety. Too many morons running 25’ 18 gauge electrical cords to run space heaters and burning themselves up. I’ve seen kitchens with one counter outlet and one of those 6 way things you can plug into it and run toasters, coffee pots, microwaves, blenders etc.... etc....
Yeah, it’s a boom you climb into, with the tools and in my case a window, then raise up to the second floor and install it. The boom can be moved from window to window steering it from the bucket.
My damn house has the whole main floor on two circuits, we’re getting a new panel, so he’s going to fix some stuff.Oh I know. The rules are about safety.

Btw, my garage is detached, wired it last summer, it’s not included in the 1,750 feet in the house. And that’s 12/2. Doesn’t include the 14/3 and 12/3
