I used to clean my dad's shop every few months. it wasn't more than two months later that it didn't look like it's ever been cleaned.
eventually I just quit because nobody seemed greatfull enough to really try and keep it clean and organized.
If I could give more than one thumbs up to this comment I would. My grandma was raised in the great depression which translates to boarder line hoarder. So my dad naturally has the same tendencies. Nothing more amazing than cleaning a shop out and finding the things you threw away have been resurrected like our Savior Jesus, and now are hidden somewhere in the shop. Yes, my dad will launder paper shop towels to reuse. Paper. Not clothe. Milk jugs? How dare you not keep 300 in case you need them. I ended up putting holes in the bottom of milk jugs and soda bottles so that they’re useless, otherwise I’d have recycling trucks thinking they can deliver at our farm.
Brexit Monger don’t tell him!!!!
Dude I feel the frustration. In my situation growing up my dad would make me clean the garage/shop as a chore. It wouldn't take more than a week or two for it to be destroyed. It wouldn't of been as bad if he wasn't narcissistic and had the patience or desire to teach me the things he was working on that destroyed the organization but that made it so I was cleaning up for someone instead of myself. Luckily I'm 24 now and have taught myself most things a man needs to know simply out of endless curiosity, proper use of the internet, and diving into things I know nothing about. Just replaced calipers and break pads for the first time the other day, they intimated me but turns out 4 bolts and 2 plungers is just about all there is to it.
I live at my parents and have a small property with a shed for all our tools. I have been cleaning it so I can use it . I think he's a boarder line hoarder.
They sell an attachment for oil bottles it's 98 cents and it has a little funnel tip that screws on to the bottle. Trust me it's a life saver for snowblowers etc. god bless
Noah Sorensen I’ll have to look for that. Thanks.
also if you turn the bottle so the spout is on the high side when pouring it is less likely to run down the side of the bottle onto the floor.
Noah Sorensen i know sometimes they give them oit there also great for antifreeze
All those tools and no funnel assortment.
my grandfather has tons of tools and funnels
Horrible Fright has great funnels for cheap. No quality issues either. ;o)
Cut a water bottle in half remove lid works well
Unintentionally did a chainsaw against chaps test today. All I did was lightly bump the chain against the left leg chap. Yes, the fibers instantly jammed the saw to a stop. Not as big a mess as you had, but a blessed irritation none the less. I'm sold on chaps. Much less costly than a trip to the ER, to say nothing of the pain avoided.
My cousin wished he had those..........16 stitches later.
Filling the fuel tank full (removing as much air space as possible) and adding fuel stabilizer, and draining the carb from the bottom (drain screw) is much better to avoid stale varnished fuel come next season. Fuel varnishes with oxygen, so a vented full tank with a very small air space is much better off than mostly empty tank with large air space. (Small engine / Motorcycle mechanic for 20 years)
Fill the tank and drain the float bowl. Remove the battery if it has one and trickle charge during the off season. Some go further and remove the plug and fog the cyl. with WD-40 and reinstall.
My Dad was never into letting use equipmentlike that. I was over a friends house and mowing his lawn with a garden tractor. The tractor stopped moving, so we tried to figure out what went wrong. My Dad said, that what you get for letting him use your stuff. What ended being wrong with the tractor? It was a key, getting sheared in the wheel! It was so simple to fix. My Dad was always critical, but since I am a Christian, I loved him, until the day he died. My Grandpa was critical of my Dad, so my Dad was critical of me. Sad my Dad died not knowing God as his savior. I'm envious of you and your son relationship and wish I had that with my Dad. I love watching your channel and learn a lot from it. Thank you!!
What I do with those kinds of oil draining systems like the one on your small generator is to attach a male hose fitting on a small piece of clear hose and then simply screw it on to the threading on the drain and tip it over into my catch pan.
Heh,30+ years as a mechanic,and I never thought of that....D'OH!!
Thanks for the kind responses. It's rare to have nice replies these days. I'm glad my idea might be of some help to others.
I know how that goes. We found an amazing deal on an atv for our homestead- and I literally almost passed it up because I didn't want yet another engine to maintain, service, etc.
HomeSteadHow what atv did ya get?
EpilepsyWarning a Kawasaki bayou 220. The electric start didn't work and the owner was done trying to fix it. Got it for $150. The pull start works great and with the help of a awesome neighbor we got the elect start working again. We show the atv in a few of our recent homestead videos, building our dog park, kennel
HomeSteadHow I'll check it out right now! That's a pretty cool story I actually own a 96 bayou 300 that I got for 600. My electric shaft worked but the pull start didn't. He wanted 1200 but the day I was supposed to buy it he said it wouldn't start and I told.him id come get it for 600 and he did! Fixed it the same day and it's been a good ride ever since.
Get a vacuum oil extractor.
Much easier, neater, and faster changing oil in a bunch of little engines with weird drain plug locations. No chance of a cross threaded drain plug, or having to replace crush washers.
Don't have to tilt little motors on their sides and spill oil everywhere. My Subaru has a top mounted oil filter so I never have to crawl under my car to change oil.
I agree. Mine can be hand pumped, or run from a compressor. With most engines, you can actually get more out out with an extractor than you can by removing the drain plug.
Ya but tipping it and draining it will get some of the sediment that builds up on the bottom out.
So what should he do with his lawn tractor, quad, water pump, and sawmill? Tip them on their sides to get the sediment out? C'mon, modern detergent oils keep the dirt suspended so it can be removed by a filter (or drained out).
Mark Schmitz good luck with your car when calves on the road. The little gauze in the sump will be clogged up with little shavings and so on
20:35 I believe that’s a craftsman flathead driver.
You are lucky to have Brian, a knowledgeable hard working pleasant person who is ok spending a couple extra minutes teaching Jack some small but valuable tips.
way too many tools? no such thing
So regarding those screw clamps that you like so much... The auto industry went away from those inferior things many years ago. Not because the constant pressure clamps were cheaper (that was just an added benefit) but because the constant pressure clamps work better! A screw clamp gets torqued once in it's lifetime and eventually due to thermal cycling and aging the hose materials shrink making that one time torque insufficient. This is why constant pressure clamps were developed. It's to reduce warranty costs. You're not alone in your dislike for them. But there are special tools available that work great with them (yeah more tools!) and quite honestly they do work better in the long run. Carry on the great work you do....
Steve Huetteman you are bang on. In plumbing if you use a piece of flexible hose with those clamps, you have to retorque a few days later and then retorque again a few weeks later otherwise it will start to leak.
i have to admit i cringed a little at how much you cranked on the spark plug on that honda generator...
Some anti-seize (copper based) would give a nice seal & prevent any problems when removing the plug.
Me too
TheBCSledder yea man
Yup two many more annual spark plug changes like that and he'll need a cylinder head.
Depending on the head material he should be right for a while with Steel, Chances are if its aluminium hes gonna tear it out, done that once tell you what never again. Not saying i'd do it that tight but he knows whats right with his own equipment.
Brian getting the Honda started in 1 pull... well done!
This was what I was forever trying to get across to my stepfather when I was a kid: you don't wait until you are in the middle of cutting hay to find out you have a bad bearing in the mower or a bad tire on the rake, you spend your rainy winter days servicing your equipment and getting it ready for next season.
One thing that I have come to learn is especially when you get older and when you buy your own tools, is servicing them. When I was younger, I would always wonder why folks do it so much and often and why they like it so much. It's not any of those reasons. It's because you've invested time and money in the tools and for it to last, you service it and maintain it. You treat it well, it'll treat you well in return. Also while servicing them if you laugh and have a good time, you can create memorable memories and pass the knowledge down to newer generations. Then they'll more than likely pass it down to a newer generation and so on.
How did you know it's raining here and I have nothing to do but watch you tube videos? !
"What are you European?" Haha that's funny I enjoy that
I literally choked on my coffee on the intro
That shop is so satisfying visually.
Best funnel for small jobs - a small funnel (funny that...) stuck into a foot-long piece of garden hose. Means you can pour oil into just about any orientation of oil filler port without losing oil all over the place. We use it on a V6 van where the engine oil filler port is up under the scuttle - works really well.
Thanks for this video. You are smart to have two of you carrying on a running conversation.
That makes it good on explaining "how to" ideas and instructions!
"Since you didn't have anything better to do..." Cody the psychic. You're amazing me every time I watch.
What an administratively responsible couple of days you're taking now. Using your "down time" during the rains of fall to get all your power tools... the big stuff... into shape for the coming year. This makes your tools last for years and gives you a long long service life. Good on ya!
Those Honda's are always a PITA. The only way I found to do it is empty the tank so you don't spill fuel, turn it on its side so you can fill it. Pour in the amount stated in the manual and then turn it back upright. Any extra will come out the filler and if its not enough you can tip it back up and pour in more. Also there are much better corrosion inhibitors than WD. When I was younger I worked in a bike shop whilst I was studying as an aircraft engineer. We submerged a chain in WD-40 in a pot. 2 weeks of submersion and it was rusted! ACF-50 is the ultimate, a little more expensive but worth every penny. Even used on aircraft to protect them.
WD-40 was developed in San Diego for use in the Atlas missile program. I worked there at Gneral Dynamics Astonautics when we developed and produced the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile. It was intended primarialy as a water displacement and peneteating product, not as a lubricant or corrosion protecion. It was used in Vietnam to remove water from small arms and artillery. It will penetrate and 'kill' primers if sprayed on ammo. A superior product that I have used for rust prevention is Boeshield T7, developed by Boeing Aircraft. It's offered in a variety of sizes and can be purchased on line from Amazon.
Brand new 2018 Clark Yale Fork lift??? your creative humor is creeping out again. Learned that in Glasgow while you were in school?
Loving the new colours too
Glasgow? Cody?
nah you're joking
We own a small tool rental store. To fill all these small engines with oil quickly and cleanly we save the spouts from quart bottles of gear oil and thread them onto these Napa oil quarts. Trick is to use Napa or Pennzoil quarts as most others have too large an opening for the little re-purposed gear oil spouts.
I became a believer in Stabil fuel stabilizer for small engines. Before winter, I drain water from carburetor bowIs, or fuel filter, or sediment bowls. Pour in a strong mix of Stabil, and maybe top off the tank. Run it awhile to fill the carb. I think empty tanks collect humidity, and cause gumminess.
Your son is very fortunate to have a father that teaches him and passes down knowledge.
Filling oil like on your honda 2000 is why I always save the squeeze tops off of 90wt oil bottles. I reuse them on my chain bar oil to keep from making a mess.
We have good old Cody back. No furious rant against Europeans today. Congrats Cody!!
Never a dull moment around the homestead. Thanks for sharing
**Dumps the generator into the oil pan**
"If it's oil or gas, I'll spill it!"
**Tips generator over to get the oil out, Gas leaks out the top**
HAHA. Oh too good. Good vid!
Stefan Lipsius hi
After watching I winterized my mower & trimmer. Started my snowblower for the 1st time & started 1st pull. Glad I Only have 3 small engines.
Convair, an aerospace contractor, first used WD-40® to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. The product actually worked so well that several employees snuck some WD-40®cans out of the plant to use at home. From wd40 website
I change the oil and fuel in the spring. Like you said, the most important thing is to get the fuel out. Modern gas turns into turpentine pretty fast.
Brian did a good job of cleaning up that shop. I think it's easier to clean and organize someone else's shop when you're working for them then it is to do your own. For one you're conscious of not wasting someone else's time can you want to show that you can do a good job. 2, you don't get sidetracked on the many little things you tend to focus on the big picture and getting it done. And 3 it's fun to go through other people's stuff. LOL
I know one should not be jealous about other people's belongings, but every time you grab your grandfathers bolt boxes i can't but be a little envious. Now i will say that my grandfather had the exact same thing, be it on a much smaler scale (he wasn't a mechanic), and those served me very well during my childhood days making all sorts of nonsense. Unfortunately his stuff is almost run out (think the only things left are some actually hardened nails, and maybe a couple screws or bolts, which still prove to be very useful and i treat them a lot more special than in my childhood days). Now luckily I noticed how useful this stuff was and i tend to now save all sorts of this stuff myself, really good habit i think.
I appreciate the way you show your son how to do things. My father can build or fix anything but rarely liked to share, or maybe I didn't show enough interest.
Can't believe I watched 24 minutes of small engine maintenance, but I had nothing better to do and enjoyed it.
I'm not watching your videos only when i've got nothing better to do. i'm watching them without any connaction to whatever i need to do.
I'm stopping whatever i'm doing and watching them.
And i guess i'm not the only one.
I've always been taught to add fuel additive and fill everything up all the way. If not, in the winter and if the tanks are empty then there's a possibility for condensation in the gas tanks and could harm your engine when starting in the spring.
Funnel: Next time you are down to the parts store, pick up one of those 90w squeeze bottles and keep the nozzle off of it. They screw right on an oil bottle, and they'll take a hose if you are careful (hold onto the hose or it will push off when squeezing) I keep every one of them I get.
For a funnel, use a turkey baster. I do my lawnmowers and parking lot vacuum this way: Take the bulb off the turkey baster and save it, you might want that with a pvc pipe later to make a mini siphon, but then you take the long juice holder part of the baster and at the pointed end shave off the knurled tip with you knife. Instant small engine oil funnel :)
Also the turkey baster funnel fits GREAT in a hydraulic jack if you need to bleed and fill it :)
Instead of draining, I add fuel stabilizer to all small engines and anti gel to my diesel. I do shut off the gas and run the carb dry, but use the stabilizer in the tank. I can fire up the generator, or wood splitter at a moments notice instead of having to refill and start over each time. I also use nothing but premium non ethanol gas in all gas engines.
I just finished using my Honda EU2000i for the last 5 days straight here in southern Maine due to the wind storm, best generator on the market. The steel screw in the stainless clamp allows you to pick them up with a magnet when you drop them and they shoot all the way under what you are working on, so not all bad.
Wranglerstar we use the lids off of gear oil, and if that doesn't work you can add a piece of hose on the end. Hope this helps.
I work for a honda dealer. You correctly put the acid in the battery. Poking a small hole into the plastic container, it drains faster. Also you should charge the battery to 100% to increase the life. You dont have to drain the tanks on the generators or other honda motors if you use non ethanol fuel or fuel with a preservative like sta bil. You should always turn the fuel off and the fuel out of the carb
I find a small piece of sheet metal creased in the middle works great for diverting draining oil.
Perfect timing, I'm doing the same thing this weekend. I always winterize on the weekend where the clocks fall behind, and springize on the weekend when the clocks spring ahead. Chris
Did he just roast us at the beginning of the video
That is why i am here tho...
Yes he did. I was thinking the same thing. Out of caricature

He doesn't really want us watching, he has told me before.
It's not out of the norm though, the guy talks about being a man all the time but is more snarky than a hipster and more passive aggressive than a high school girl.
I use cut water bottles. I also use them for caulking big openings.
Oh also, there is an adapter you can buy for the honda, that threads into the oil fill port. It gives you an extended spout so the oil can be poured out without spilling everywhere. And its easier to fill too. Also the magnetic dip stick is a good addition too. Bought both of them back a couple years ago.
Don't need lots of tools. Just the right tools.
I'm a plasterer and when I started I got dragged into the I need this I need that trap. Few years later I take the bare amount of tools with me and just make do. Some new tools take away the need for lots more but generally most tradesmen carry tools everyday that they never use. My rule. Go through my tools and if I don't use at least weekly I leave at home. Mechanics tools are different because they tend to be one use only made for that job.
I love these sort of episodes, where you just take us along to work with you
Is the firepump drained so it dont freeze and crack??
As a small engine mechanic, just let me thank you for using non-ethanol. Using ethanol fuel is as bad as you or me drinking arsenic.
Ethanol in gas keeps a lot of repair techs employed.
Only bad if you are long-term storage.
I use ethnol if I know I'll use a full tank but after that I run the carb out and fill her up with non
why do race cars use it
These are my favorite type of Wranglerstar videos
Put the cap from a power steering bottle (the one with the pull out spout) on your oil bottle and you don't need a funnel :-) . Or if it doesn't fit, just dump the oil into the power steering bottle then fill up from that. Works a treat!
Empty gear oil jug works awesome for small engines with tight quarters
good tip for storing and or using motors over winter remove the battery and store indoors till you want to use it
and i get that some things you don't want to remove the battery after every use (like cars and things you use daily) a jump start battery might be helpful
Cold batteries discharge faster than warmer batteries, so if you're using a cold battery, keep a warm one in reserve.
Cody, for your small engine oil fills. Buy your oil in gallons and pick up a pump for gallon containers , you'll cut down oil fills a lot !
I have the same Honda eu2000i generator, great little set. But it needed one modification, a way to shut the fuel off to the carb. So I purchased a quality 90 degree metal fuel cutoff valve, connected the fuel line to it, drilled the appropriate size hole in the top of the generator, installed the valve in the top of the generator case, which I like because it is easily accessible without removing the side cover. Now anytime that I am not going to be using it for awhile, I simply start it up, then once running, I shut off the fuel valve, and let the carburetor run empty. When i need it again, I turn the fuel back on, crank it a few times to get the fuel back to the carb, then it starts back up. Simple.
And Yes, I also do NOT use ethanol fuel in ANY small engine. Here the only grade of fuel that doesn't contain ethanol is 93 octane premium, but its worth it.
I also stabilize the fuel in my storage tank with a product called PRI-G, which is the best fuel stabilizer I have ever found. (the PRI-D for diesel is also great) So long as you add it to the fuel at least once per year, it keeps it fresh. I have used gasoline that is over 2 years old in my small engines, and the ran like I just bought the fuel that day.
Plus, when I use this fuel in any of my small engines, I don't have to worry about it going bad in a month or so like it normally would. I can let it winter in them, and thats ok, they still run perfectly fine the next spring. Although I still try to install shut-off valves in most things (if they don't already have them) so i can empty the carbs for the winter, or any time they aren't going to be run for a while.
Anyway, didn't mean to run on, just my 2 cents.
Two things. When you pour from a quart oil bottle, turn so spout is at the top. This gives more control. Second, local Stihl mechanic said using RV/Marine gas in small engines will make them last longer.
I use a little sea foam in my tanks of gas first thing in the spring. Seems to help blow everything out and keep stuff running well.
The best filler funnel thing for small engines is the screw on top that comes with 90 weight quart or bar and chain oil its already pointed and screws on to most quart bottles and to speed up the filling you can just squeeze the bottle
Cody, get your self some hose clamps made by Norma. Made in Germany, The have beveled edges so they won't cut into the hose, and the teeth the screw rides in is not cut into the band, but a raised surface. I think the band is pressed. You can find them on all German cars. I will not use any other hose clamp after using them. I'll get them when I visit the wrecking yard. I know you pay attention to details.
Thats a great idea they came up with for getting the acid in the battery. We used to have to use a single tube on each cell.
Old fuel, I dump it in the old pickup (1997 Ford FI) truck and run it. Never had an issue with the truck doing this.
Storage, I always run Ethanyl free fuel with stabilizer. You never know how long a piece of equipment may sit. If I plan on long term storage I will drain the fuel, and add a little 50/1 ethanol free 2 stroke mix with stabil in it and run it until the fuel runs out. The 2 stroke mix coats the carb with a thin coating of oil along with the internal parts of the engine (at least in theory).
Use an old oil bottle to make a funnel. same way as the paper one but plastic. Also bottles such as "Heat" or other gas treatment bottles make great funnels. Just put the cap back on when you use it and throw it in the toolbox. keeps it clean till you need it.
Time well spent! Most home owners and even business owners fail to do routine maintenance and it comes around to bite them in the end!
The grocery store actually has tiny funnels. I have a Generac 3250 that is at a really odd angle, so luckily I used a water bottle I cut to shape ...and it screws into the oil hole!
perhaps laying the gen on its other side would make it easier to fill the oil on the honda ?
I hope one day to have my life together enough to have as much as wranglerstar has and the knowledge
Hi Cody - glad to to see your PMCS'ing the wildland fire fighting water pump system. You put to much money and time into restoring it to let old man winter freeze and break it. Good tip on reusing old fuel filters for small funels. Thanks
You can never have to many tools like if you agree
typical facebook user
or even 'too' many.
i used to think that in my younger days, as of the past 2 weeks i have been going through all my tools, so far i have a gallon bucket full of screwdrivers i have no need for, about 100 plus extra (backup) name brand sockets, about 30 too many wrenches, i have more than 10 drills, 4 circular saws, 5 air compressors, tons of misc pliers, drill bits and a bunch of other stuff im going to be craigslisting soon, i think i just kept buying stuff at flea markets and yard sales because they were a bargain. non the less, they take up too much room and make it harder for me to find what im looking for, my tool boxes havent looked this clean in about 20 years.
If you move overseas it can be economically impractical....and, hard to get your investment back!
beach bummin Laughed so hard when I read this. Exactly how I am at flea markets! My tools may be numerous, but they are quality and I have a budget still!
you know it's an american speaking when you hear the sentence "fuel is not that expensive" ahahah no criticism just saying.
ahahah you're savage man... ahahah
Someone call the jelly school this guy's jelly of our gas prices.
except our gas turns to jelly after while because of the ethanol :)
of course I would like you fuel prices. I pay more for a liter then you guys pay for a gallon and I believe there is like 4 liters in a gallon
actually english isn't my first language so I end up saying gas too because of movies and stuff. but I know it doesn't make sense because it's a liquid.
Im watching you making a Funnel ,I just wanted to add a tip, When you want to add bar oil to your chainsaw go to Walmart and buy the clear condiment container they come in a sixpack for about $4.00 ,they sell them in the red & yellow ones too you use for Catsup & Mustard
Hello Cody, I have a question what happened to the prandi axes and should i buy one, greetings from Germany.
Cody gave up axes when he gave up homesteading
These videos are so calming after a day of stress
Nice! I'm an addict, too!
Hello Cody and family, I thought it might be a good idea to mention to Always Always Always Remove Any Spark Plug Wire, when working on any small engine. Especially if you are working near the blade. One careless spin of that blade, and you are missing some fingers or worse, if it decides to start, if you do not. Also, Cody try screwing a 2 inch long piece of pipe in that generator drain to help not make such a mess. I enjoy the videos!!! Have a Great Day!
Another PROPER Wranglerstar video! Thanks for sharing.
next time you change oil in the generator try using a soda bottle for a funnel i believe they are the same thread
Seafoam will also stabilize fuel.
Hannah mich - I here that stuff is great
Good to see things taken "proper" care of. :) Enjoy the season!
The first step is admitting you have a problem.:)
Ah winterizing...thanks for reminding me!
Love the father son interaction. Kid is spending time learning valuable skills instead of melting his brain with screen time.
I might suggest to Brian that ignition prior to the "normal" ignition is "pre-ignition." Detonation is the "uncontrolled combustion" of the remainder of fuel/air after the normal ignition event due to excessive pressure/temperature of the remaining fuel air mixture. Sorry, "teacher mode."
The work never stops, and winter just makes it more important to get it done! Great days work, good crew!
Cap off a rear end oil bottle works great for filling small engines
@wranglerstar - just my 2 cents. If you read the instructions that came with that battery it would have said leave the vent caps off for the first charge. Lol. I’ve had negative experiences with emptying my gas tanks. I personally just use stabil all year round then do a winter mix for storage. I’ve had carb seals dry out and leak as well as float stick when left without gas. A great winter project for jack is to go through grandpa’s bolt bins and sort for faster access. Especially those priceless items. Take care. Be well. God bless.
The Honda oil bottle comes with a built in spout for filling the EU2000i
I’ve always found if an old lawn mower, generator, two-stroke gas powered tool, etc starts taking multiple pulls, it’s usually bad/old sitting fuel in the carb, or the spark plug needs to be replaced. I’ve saved myself and neighbors from having to buy brand new mowers after the old one “quits startling” by buying a $8-9 dollar or so new spark plug😂
Small unrelated word of advice. You dont necessarily want to run any 2 cycle out of fuel ever because running it out of fuel leans it out. Runs it out of lube and gets it very hot. I have killed 2 cycle dirt bikes from running them out a few times. Melted the pistons and i know when i run my chainsaw all the way out i can smell hot aluminium from the piston.
A brass fitting and hose will make that oil drain easier on the honda. Tip it o the other direction and take the plug out. Then thread in the barbed fitting and put a hose on it. Then put hose on it and into the bucket. Works well. I have a dirt bike that has a funky drain like that. Way easy to do.
I worked on Honda’s and we never had the spring type clamps leak, they last a long time. The screw type need retightened after lots of heating and cooling.
i'm watching this after i've done all my work, today is relax day....although there is always something to do i'm taking a break on this rainy/snowy cold day.
I'm getting ready for winter here in Northern Ontario (St. Joseph Island). Wet and windy weather ..
love it! still need to winterize everything on our little "urban homestead" haha, anyone have any experience winterizing a boat with an in board/outboard motor and transom? If so, I'd love to hear it so we don't mess something up! so many places for water to freeze!
