yes! I've gotten used to back up provisions, but used last of my laundry detergent this morning. Don't know how it happened

My laundry DET is shipped to me in bulk in little biodegradable pods. I don’t remember the last time I ran out.

We have electric heat but do most our heating with wood easy to build the fire enough to have 72 in the house lasts most the night electric is backup

Since I retired last spring, this is the first winter someone has been home all the time, so I keep the woodstove going. The propane truck came yesterday (at 7 am on a Saturday?!?) and I laughed, because we were still at 60% full.

So glad hubby loves his new 40 ton woodsplitter. He's gonna get to use it a lot now.

Do you think you'll be able to get all the necrotic stuff off?

Yes, I do. Her next treatment will be tomorrow. I'll post an update. I doubt I'll get it all off but I think I'll make it better... If I don't pass out.

hot water heater.

NOOOOOOOO!!!

So it turns out the well isn't capped but sealed with an inner expansion ring. We got it off and it took 45 minutes to bring up the chlorine and another 15 minutes to bring it into all of the plumbing.
I'll head up in the morning to start flushing the well for a few hours before taking DH in to get the biopsy results and figure out what the next steps are.

You could do this. Shocking a well isn't hard.

I grew up was in Shelton first time I was not on a well so like 50 years old before I had city water filter on faucet even here where we are now

Good morning everyone!

Another grey and drizzly Monday, so let's grab a nice big mug of freshly brewed coffee and try to enjoy the day anyway.

Good morning Cafe. 6F this morning. 11 degrees colder than predicted. Thanks weatherman; you ijit. I'll take a big mug of hot coffee, thanks LF.
Flushing the well will be difficult in such cold temps. I have to run the hose out to the nearby woods so I don't kill the grass with the chlorine water but I risk the hose freezing closed.
