Jtrap..maybe those beavers won't be hatters this Wintah..

Jtrap..maybe those beavers won't be hatters this Wintah.

I been reading up on under ice beaver trapping, appears all they eat when they are under the ice is aspen twigs, anybody got any of those i can borrow?
These pine bark chewer's probably wouldn't even know what a aspen is, lol.

We got 70 inches of snow ( not kidding) on the tug hill here in New York this week. I finished my snow from today around 4 this afternoon, put the tractor away, and hopped in the truck for a ride. I bet 90% of my neighbors were cleaned up too. I guess it's what your used to and prepared for.

Savell...east of the Mississippi..it's called Poplar

West of the Mississippi...it's called Aspen

Thats all I use ....they can not pass it up.

If yah need some...let me know

Savell....up here it's called indoor plumbing..

It's called insulation and burying them deep.

Typical bury on a water line in a road is 8 ft. 8 ft out of a road is a good idea as well.

I think it's easier to heat a house at 30 below than it is to cool one at 95 degrees. Put in some insulation in.

It's not hard to keep things from freezing even easier at the temps you guys may encounter. Doesn't cost much to any extra on a new build. Easy to solve on an old build.

Nessie, I'm west of the Mississippi, no one calls it aspen around here.

All things considered I'm only 80 miles west of the Headwaters lol.

Mostly referred to as popple in the north....

They are deep in the ground where they enter the house where it's heated. Sometimes a drafty basement will get cold enough to freeze them though. There are some houses with unheated crawl spaces under the house, those pipes are wrapped in electrical heat tape and insulated.

... interior walls mostly after they come into the basement.

We have a drilled well..with a casing.

And the line going from the well to the house ..is buried 4 feet

Below the surface.

And yes...a hole is still in the foundation to run the pipe in the basement ...to the water tank.

On them -25 days ...you might leave the cabinet door undah the sink open

To let some heat in.

Other than insulation and foam pipe coverings ...that about it.

You going to be on the Bruce Bucket for a couple days , ??????

Good move ...nothing like being prepared..

I got some deer meat in the freezer, a wood stove and some moonshine. I will survive just fine!

we heat with natural gas here. (not THAT natural gas!)

Back in the olden days lol When I was single I lived in an upstairs apartment. 1st year the pipes froze.just opened the kitchen cabnet doors under the sink and they thawed. After that I let the cold water faucet drip. No more problems.
BTW its -7 nere now. Unheated basement all plumbing there. Outdoor pipes 4' deep. Rural water No problems.
just

BTW its -12 in Minneapolis lol

yes piped in. we had a propane tank at our old house. And an old converted coal furnace. Power was out for days once but even though the fan would run, the furnace put out enough heat to keep everything from freezing.

Savelll is right Texas is nice but the ifasructer isn’t set up for it. Lived there for 2 winters a little ice storm shut down Dallas with rolling black outs for 3 days. People were freaking out. I went out and drove around wasn’t a car on the roads. Ice Wasn’t anything worse than I had seen up north. Just another winter day up here.

Everything is plastic here. Even rural water.
