    Have you guys thought about put tarp over the solar panels before the snowstorm come in, it may make it easier to pull off the snow build up. Also maybe put tarp over your battery shed to help it from freezing.

    Hi guy's, that'll help keep the mule dry, but the squirrel might like it also. You definitely need to create a drive through parking for the snow mobiles, to make it easier to access them. Especially if you get hurt and Jen has to haul you out in the sled.

    Technical description for your hook. Used in many different industries, and has many different names. It may be called a box hook, cargo hook, loading hook, docker's hook when used by a longshoreman and a bailing hook, bale hook or hay hook in the agriculture industry. 😁

    About the hook that you were using to push the tubing into the crack and you asked what things they were used for, I’ve seen hooks like that used to carry blocks of ice for ice boxes before refrigeration. Watch the movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou.

    Awesome idea to help protect the Mule! Personally, I would've started with the longer tarp/Shelter Logic, and wrapped it from the inside corner and around the front. Not so much on the ground to roll up when you pull the Mule out, and probably neater and nicer looking..😂😅 Love what ya'll are doing ❤️

    Hate to rub it in but when we get to our cabin in SC it will be low to mid 60's all week. Not sure what January will bring though. But it is the reason we chose to build 700 miles from home so we could get away from snow and cold. I was a supervisor on the railroad before I retired and I always told my guys that when weather conditions got cold, snowy and windy to slow down everything you're doing. Think about the task you're about to do and assess the risk. Take steps to mitigate the risks. Everything becomes more hazardous in bad conditions. Sorry about the lecture but it's what I did for 35 years. Stay safe and stay warm.

      @OffgridwithJayandJen  Годину тому

      Nice.....I'm open to options for sure. My big concern is getting the flashing up above to keep moisture from sitting in the joint with some type of bad material. This is why I didn't want to use spray foam and such.....rather try a better option. 😁

    • @alexanderdamato838
      @alexanderdamato838 Годину тому

      @ there is a great DOW product, the 123. it is available in various widths as a sheet that comes in rolls and would do a better than decent job of replacing a flashing detail if you didn’t want to use a copper flashing. Both could slide under your facade boards.

    I definitely love your videos ❤😉. Sounds like you're going to be snowed in for a few days. 😅 ☃️. I bet you'll be thinking about moving next year. 😮 I hope not because I love your views and videos. 🙏. As far as the hook goes, I call mine a hay hook and I've used it a good many years. It works really well after you get the hang of it. 😜 It saves a lot of bending over and blisters on the hands. Plus it speeds up the work process. You can stack a lot of hay in a hurry or load up the elevator with ease.
    Be careful with that packed snow on the driveway you might go for a joy right. 😂.
    Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you and you🥳🎄🎉 both.

    Speaking of "The Mule..." After 14 years, the mice finally got my Mule by eating enough wiring as to require a complete new wiring harness. Took it to the shop where I bought it on October 18...or exactly two months ago. Wiring harness was supposed to arrive from Mexico November 20. They have no idea when (if?) it will arrive. I can use the little JD tractor to cut firewood this winter and may not even need the Mule. Kawasaki no longer makes the 610 and the bigger side-by-sides are in sticker shock country. An as-is trade isn't much help in defraying a major expenditure. I hope you're planning to put a bunch of sticky traps in strategic places on your Mule this winter. Yes, "one is none..."
