    Forecast Graphic for today

    I love when John puts them up when they aren't expected! Every once in a while when we are expecting a decent storm I check to see if he does a mid afternoon update or on a weekend. I missed this one, but appreciate when he takes the time to do that.

    Question on Norway Spruce trees

    Me again...I have done exactly what you show in that picture in two different locations with great results. I do have to verify if they are emerald green and I will do that Monday with my landscaper.

    Question on Norway Spruce trees

    I have all of the trees mentioned so far. Arbor Vitae are candy for deer. I have had deer up north eat anything that is green once the snow gets deep and they are getting hungry. Can't blame them I guess. Deer down in Illinois eat different plants than the deer up north, but when food gets...

    good dose of snow

    3" in Spread Eagle, WI. Not much but it's at a start after that 10" loss last week.

    FWIW, I used a plastic drum so no corrosion.

    I explained in post #46 how mine is configured and it has worked perfect for 20 years. Only issue I had is when the overflow outlet screen froze up mid winter. It became clogged and weeds grew all around it during the summer. Part of my winter prep in the fall is to ensure screen is clear. Once...

    Locked gates and no grooming north of Mohawk

    Correct me if wrong but aren’t their access roads the snowmobile trails? In other words, now it’s suggested that the land owners make new roads because snowmobile clubs have taken them over for their use? Don’t get me wrong, I agree conversation should happen if any type of solution is possible...

    No not really. I was thinking 14' X 14' since a buddy of mine has that for his shop and he's a GC. He can fit everything they have in that door with no problems. Several others in this thread were suggesting a larger door so I'm looking at that obviously. I can't see going higher than 14' but...

    I know you are asking favoritos but I usually put a reducer on the floor drain located next to the boiler to make a funnel. With the newer boilers you need to also run the condensate through a neutralizer to neutralize the pH so you don't get corrosion in the drain lines. I even have the...

    I usually use CHI overhead doors but I'm ALWAYS open to new ideas and products. Will for sure take a look. My current overhead doors have an R value of 14-16 I think and I've seen some of the newer doors as high as R-18. That's awesome. I keep my garages around 66 degrees and the weakest link is...

    Good info. I use this type of drain. https://www.ndspro.com/products/drainage/channel-and-trench-drains/dura-slope-trench-drains.html or this one https://www.zurn.com/products/building-drainage/trench-drainage/linear-trench-drain/general-purpose-drainage-interior/z874-21 I have never...

    I think the drain location and layout depends on your intended use and layout you plan on having. In my situation I plan on one long aisle from end to end on the long dimension...off to one side. In this case out of 120' I may put 80' of drains?? If I pull in the trailer full of snow I want all...
