Maintenance Monday: With today’s windy snow and gusts, I’m doing a quick “storm mode” check—devices charged, flashlight/battery pack staged, house number visible, outdoor items secured, and keeping an eye on drifting snow near vents. Small prep now prevents bigger issues later.

⏰ There’s Never a Good Time…

Just when we needed it most, our trusty Gorilla wheelbarrow broke. 😬

Our beloved Romeo has stepped up and is asking for a new one to keep straw moving and winter prep on track.

There's never a good time, but with a little help, we can keep things rolling!

Dave’s furnace died overnight, and when you need heat now, next-day shipping doesn’t cut it.
He found a Sam’s Club space heater with both horizontal and vertical oscillation — perfect for heating two floors in a pinch.
We discuss the experience in AwesomeCast 759.

🛠️ Toolbelt Tuesday: Mark it before it’s buried ❄️

Before the next big snow, use reflective stakes to mark:

Driveway edges

Mailbox & walkways

Outdoor units (AC/heat pump, gas meter, etc.)

Once everything is covered, those markers help prevent damage from shovels and plows and can save you from expensive repair surprises in the spring.

🧰 Toolbelt Tuesday: Winter CO Safety

Quick checklist:
• Test all carbon monoxide detectors
• Make sure there’s one on every level + near bedrooms
• Replace old batteries and expired units (most last ~7–10 years)
• Keep 3 ft of space around furnaces and space heaters

Small task, big protection during CNY heating season.

🔧 Maintenance Monday: Prevent Frozen Pipes

As we head into colder nights, take a few minutes to:
• Insulate exposed pipes in basements/garages
• Let faucets on exterior walls drip on the coldest nights
• Open cabinet doors under sinks so warm air can reach the pipes
• Make sure you know where the main water shut-off valve is

Small steps, big protection for your home this winter in CNY.
