the power went out last night so every single heater, every single heat tape wrapped water pipe, every single extension cord that plugged into each water trough, every single heat lamp, the very expensive electric heated hose.....were totally useless on the very coldest night of our lives. the power eventually came back on sometime, i am not sure when..we were all comatose with the cold and locked into shivering frozen sleep. this morning i am starting with a sore throat and stuffy nose.
murphy is an uncooperative asshole.
Maybe Steve could work his magic and make some wooden shutters that could be closed across the windows at nightime. Its an old-fashioned solution but it works and would be permanent.
