I left Michigan a little over 25 years ago for Texas. When I saw the area over the wheel wells of your truck, it reminded me of one of the downsides of living in the Rust Belt. But, there are things about Michigan I miss, like the four seasons: June, July, August and Winter.
@jimdelong949 6 ай бұрын
Brings back memories of when i lived in Michigan. When it snowed it snowed. It was awesome to see nothing frozen when you got back to the cabin. Glad you were able to find a deal so you could seal in the sides of the mud room. Excited to see that happen

Uh-oh!! It's all your fault, you just put my creative ideas into overdrive, with the vinyl windows. Ha ha!! What you don't use for the Mudd room, maybe make a small greenhouse to grow winter garden. Or.. close in part of the open deck on the side of your house to make a sunroom/ greenhouse with a door to access from inside the cabin?? If, I was 20 years younger I would love doing something like that. Lol..I would be an awesome supervisor though. 😊 Love you guys❤ stay safe out there.

Windshield washer fluid in a spray bottle will do wonders for your solar panels, You wont risk scratching them or breaking them. Once the snow gets saturated it just slides off and as the panels warm up the snow just slides off on its own.

Can't wait to see what you have planned for the plastic window "screens". That mud room looked more like a snow room. 😂 Niceto see the cabin maintained just above or at freezing while you were away. I bet Jen was thrilled the wood by the pole barn stayed snow free this time. Cabin looks so cozy and I loved the entro with music driving through the snow. Great editing.

Id find a piece of chain link wire fence and make a drag and pull behind a vehicle snowmobile or pickup not as good as a plow but as long as you disturb the snow it will turn into "crete snow" and be easier to pack when you drive on it looks like youed have a tough time plowing it anyway because of your hilly terrain. Just my two cents

Guys ,What shape is the hill you live on ? Mounds exhibit a variety of forms, but conical, dome, platform, and effigy mounds are most common. Some mounds were built in a single episode, while others had multiple stages of construction. You could have giants underground there , Yea ? Down state where Mound Road Is used to be , Giants burial mounds . You could be living on an archaeological gold mine .

It could be cool if you checked into a "wind sock". If placed in the open, you can learn to read it and the wind direction.. I think when it is (lets say) at 45% the wind is 25 mph .. and of course the opening points to where the wind is coming from ... not high tech but air plane pilots use them as they are very reliable. .. I may look to this too.

I mounted my Gasland on the wall in the cabin. It only runs when water is flowing and I figure it can’t put out any more carbon monoxide than a propane stove. It’s right above the sink and use the dials to adjust down to cold all the way up to hot. No dual water lines and less to freeze in winter.
