Gaylord Snowfall – So much for Global Warming at our house in Gaylord, Michigan .
Bitter cold and gusty Canadian winds out of the North are keeping area roads snow covered and slippery. Road salt does not work on the roads with temps at or near zero degrees. One or two days a week if it does get close to 32 or 33 degrees the snow changes over to freezing rain and adds more ice. This picture shows my neighbors clean driveway . He hand shovels it everyday and what he can’t throw up on the edges of the driveway he hand carries the snow across the street. He has done this for many years. He also keeps one of the other neighbors driveway clean too and he hand shovels it . He is over 60 years old and in great shape. I keep my driveway this clean but I have a little bit of help , ha,ha. We now have 109 inches of snow and were getting several more inches right now as I sit here on the computer. I just checked the radar and in the next hour it will be done and i will be off to have fun in the new snow. (:>)
Waldon Bucket linkage broke- The last two afternoons I fabricated a new bucket linkage brackets for the center link. I had welded it before but it cracked again so i just decided to rebuild it completely.
Nicole and Bills House Progress- The brick is all done on the front , the siding is all on the sides and back . The electrical and plumbing is all in and the drywall is all on the walls. Bathroom cabinets and kitchen cabinets are next to be installed.
They talked to the sprinkler system people and the fence people so everything is going great. Very exciting !
Have a great Friday
