That's a lot of snow. How many weeks have you guys gone? Without power?

Generator for roll it up.

we've gone to propane generators. Much easier to haul and store fuel.

I have a propane generator after a little more than two weeks without power a few years ago.

It's like camping with a bed and walls........not bad at all

Our farm is off grid....we have to go to town to know if the power is out.

I think watching the fire in a wood stove is therapeutic.

that was my favorite thing about beach camping in Baja. Sitting around the bon fire at night.

The Mrs hates wood stoves and fireplaces. She grew up going out to cut wood and stacking it when it was split. She also had to stoke the fire in the morning.

That's a forced hot air wood fired furnace. It's 73° in the basement. Probably around 15° outside. Upstairs is a few degrees warmer.

That's what sucks. It is really nice and warm no matter what. But I am kind of a slave to it....wether I'm stacking wood or feeding the fire.

'Managed to get a wriggle-on building the new greenhouse after a 3-day binge of CBF.
'Had to reconfigure the frame due to nebulous Chinese-English instructions

Frame is now square (to within thumb), but the aluminium saddles & pegs provided to hold it down are absolute crap & wouldn't survive next winter, so an early-morning dash to the nearest Bunnings is in order tomorrow to get some decent steel ones. Next few days are gonna be in the mid-high 30's, so I need to get stuff done early.

Pallet in the background is where the 1000L IBC is going on a stack of pallets with a low-pressure timer to deliver watering.

I COULD provide mains power to this site if I wanted to, but figured KISS & see how it goes.

Being in OZ & having lashings of available daylight & good weather makes things easier.

As marketing demands, my Internet has never gone down.
It's all underground, the contractor in this area was making $75 per foot.

I'm stuck with cable company internet. AT&T won't replace the 80's phone wires with fiber here.
