About 6 more boards on the roof peek and I am going to clean the snow off and tarp it until spring and then finish up the roof with water shield and metal. I am looking forward to getting back at it in the spring. I will be putting in the interior walls and some things this winter but I am going to take a little break and do some trapping between now and the rest of the year.

Savell trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Coldspring Texas	… reason I’m asking is it’s getting stupid around here in the winters lately… got pipe from the well to the house buried … but pipes will freeze in the attic even with a little insulation… it’s amazing to me how yall keep running water … shoot about every pipe in the county that wasn’t drained busted a few years ago … our little town looked like a quaint Alaskan village for several days lol Insert profound nonsense here

Savell trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Coldspring Texas	I know about leaving the water dripping… but it still froze on me doing that once when it stayed below freezing for a couple days … and where do yall put your pressure tanks ? … I would think they would freeze in your climate .. sorry to bother you with the questions… I just find it interesting to see a house up off the ground where you live as that’s how we build them down here Insert profound nonsense here
