  1. I miss last year's George, everything was gonna be a blizzard- much more fun than downcast George.
  2. Gotta get an underbody coat on in the fall
  3. 1 1/2 and dang if it ain't pretty
  4. Also, space heaters in a flooded basement? This guy can't be real
  5. Absolutely do not use flex seal to water proof your basement. I hope that guy was not being serious. There are only two ways to keep/get the water out. A correctly installed French drain that is backfilled correctly is the best. Obviously if you don't already have that then a quality sump is your only route unless you want to fork over a heap of cash to go digging around your whole house. Gutters with downspouts draining well away will help, everything else is a bandaid. Good luck.
  6. That is massive overkill but I bet you sleep well. I'm at 420' on top of a hill with 2x6 walls and I haven't blown over yet. Was on a framing crew a while back and we had to do some steel I beam construction as part of a 24' tall vaulted room over staffordville lake for wind load.
  7. Anywhere else but here please, don't need power outages
  8. Weak troll, if you're going for it you gotta go with short bus.
  9. Fair. Wild enough with all the brain donors driving around in their phones.
  10. I can sort of understand not liking snow but you don't like pedestrians? How do you feel about that rock and roll music?
  11. Doesn't the CIA already do this?
  12. 3 woodstoves? Man is committed. I went to just mini splits in my house. Power bill is a whopper in the winter but no oil bill and no mess in the house from wood.
  13. I have a Jotul Firelight I use to heat my shop. Burn about 3-4 cord a year but I blow a lot of hot air right out when I run my equipment. I am morally opposed to inserts as they lack the poetry and/or magic of either a woodstove or a true fireplace. Man has to draw a line somewhere.
  14. +1 for fans. you can get ones that will mount to the jamb of the entry ways up top. Also, look into an Ecofan. sits on top of your woodstove and runs on heat difference. Moves a surprising amount of air right from where it's the hottest. I point mine directly toward the weather station at ORH for maximum effect.
  15. One more good sled for the season if I'm lucky. The classic 0-8" for my hood according to those earlier nws maps
  16. Id rather them just give the employees the overtime to twiddle their thumbs than spread that crap all over the roads. I weep for my truck every time I have to drive around on this crap.
  17. Pretty sure DOT would send em out to salt for rain at this point, wouldn't want to save money for any reason- That'd be silly
  18. That was me this morning planning to do a job outside. No thanks.
  19. Wire up new hitch mounted sander? Figured I wouldn't even have to bother this season at this rate.
  20. My 98 year old grandmother said we're due for a storm. Buckle up
  21. Have you tried going outside since last winter?
