sounds excellent

I read that... I was just wondering how well it ran when the outside temp is under zero. I once bought some exterior flood lights AT MY LOCAL STORE that were no good below zero. :rolleyes:

I wish that sweeter heater gave the temp range in which it runs. Have you gotten onto any of the Facebook pages? Alaska Flock Talk or.... ...... ...... there is one just for Fairbanks I think. I would ask on those threads. I would be good to get first hand knowledge .

dogs will learn fast.... the kid will too. electric fence doesn't kill, it just hurts. How bad it kicks depends on the strength of your charger. ;) but you need one wire close to the ground, and a second wire at grizzly nose height. You could always turn the electric off when you go...

nice setup and ingenuity. That doesn't look like near enough ventilation though.

Is that sustained -40, or a few dips to -40? I am pretry sure that most dumps up here let you scrounge. SCROUNGE! If you are close to an actual town with a dump they will have one area for household trash and one area for construction trash. The construction trash is a gold mine. Lots of...
