Looks like we actually might get some winter weather here in SC. It doesn't seem like 4" of snow could be a mess but Releigh NC didn't do so hot with 2.5". Lol

Ohhh, good point AK. But I am a little concerned about this statement below, lol. Maybe keeping the Carhart's in a different place might prevent this from happening?


EDIT: Just saw this, and thought you'd all like it....

Yep, they plan is to getting it running but leave everything as is. Looks too good in its original state to mess with. Fenders and sheet metal are all rock solid. Engine spins freely so just have to do the usually maintenance things and she should be driving. My father in law specifically placed it there for a yard ornament until it runs lol. I think it looks right at home

Ha the guy was actually selling 4 8Ns and 1 2N... I wanted to buy one but the wife was not having it. I will get one eventually; and yes I want it just because I am a ford guy.... other than that John Deere all the way lol

And yeah our -12 temps at night froze most of my houses water pipes. Both showers, all 3 toilets and 2 sinks. Luckily all the sinks and the guest shower thawed out. Master toilet and shower and downstairs toilet are still frozen. With the weather this week I dont see them thawing till Sunday. Praying pipes dont burst because I am on a plane to Buffalo today. The wife does not want to deal with that alone LOL

Do you guys ever let the faucets drip at night? Whenever we get down in single digits or lower everyone around here lets the faucet drip overnight to keep the water flowing.

My in laws do their house is an old farm house from the 1800s My parents built a house in the early 2000s so we never messed with it.
My house built in 94... we are currently letting faucets drip. That is how we got the shower and sinks to thaw out. The shower and sinks will be dripping until we get back up into the teens (we need at least one shower working lol). Should have done it a few days ago but just didnt think about it before we went to bed that night.

Yeah, my hindsight is always 20/20 as well, LOL.

I just bought tickets to G3. All kinds of excited.

The three guitarists are: Joe Satriani, James Petrucci (my personal favorite), and Phil Collen.

Wow, Satriani doing live ? Want some company lol.

That sounds like a blast. Probably see a lot of old farts there getting jiggy wid it lol. Nah, nice to hear he still playing/entertaining. I never got tired of hearing Joe play.

Have to say I envy you and your FIL. That stuffs cool!

I can't here, my tank would fill, but you gave me a great idea...just now lol!

What if I connected back up to a city water supply and let just the supply drip right before the connection ? The connection is insulated and heated, that won't freeze. Doing so would eliminate the need for my fresh water tank all together...which is freezing up all the time. I know my daughter is charged for water out there, but there's a cap. Guess I have to see what the cap is. Might be worth it.

I entertained other ideas, so your aware. As in a heat tape or heated hose, out of the question. So is installing a permanent water line below the frost line...out of the question.

Huh, think I'm going to try this.
