WHOAH !!! things are happening. At least the wood doesn't get soaked while the stuff is all in white.... brrrr....

I was working on my own shop today, and in the evening I could see the ice forming on the inside of the roof. Luckily it's all enclosed and sealed up by now, but no insulation yet.

Good thing is that freezing winter, as in our parts of the world, the air can't hold much humidity and, as a matter of fact, gets very, very dry. Good construction weather conditions.... hats off to your builder guys, Jeff. but I guess Canadians are used to that.
Good to see you with Jay and his 57 Ford beauty !

Jeff what part of Ontario is the "new" Palookaville located in? Here in Nova Scotia (I am just over an hour Southwest of Halifax),we have had just the lightest dusting of snow the past few mornings, but it disappears before noon. It is barely enough to make the lawn look somewhat white. The past couple of days, we have been -2-4 degrees C (28ish F)in the morning, and "warms" up to 4 or 5 C(40ish F) in the afternoon, I just turned the heat on in my garage for the first time this winter, today, the lowest that I can set the heat pump is 16 C (about 50 degrees F), which is enough to take the chill off, and be comfortable enough for a fat guy to work in the shop. This will be our 5th winter on the East Coast, and so far, we have never had more than a foot of snow, more like 8", which takes much longer to disappear compared to the West coast. I don`t have a snow blower, since our driveway is gravel, and about 900 feet long, doubt one would work very well, or last very long. Luckily my neighbor has a 4x4 PU with a snow plow, and he looks after us. Eventually I may buy an old plow truck of my own, if the situation changes.
Ecode Jay, curious what that zig zag looking piping on the wall behind you in Jeffs photo is for. Never seen that before. Those E code 2x4 air cleaners certainly look terrific, are they the same for a E code Thunderbird, or is there some difference between them?

  I believe the piping has something to do with taking moisture out of the system if you do some painting, plasma cutting.....

Great to see Jay, even if it was for a short post. At least we know he's doing well.
You guys that don't have a snow blower.............I don't own a snow shovel either, lol. I've only had to shovel twice since moving here in'03. If we get snowed in now, we'll just have to wait for it to melt.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Here is your annual reminder, be very careful shoveling/blowing snow.
I have lost three friends in the past few years from heart attacks while cleaning driveways.

I don't mess with snow. It falls, and eventually it melts. If I think about it beforehand, I buy a bag of ice and spread it ahead of expected snowfall. Otherwise, I either stay in the house or walk on top of it until it melts.
I have a LARGE library of books to read, and if I can make it down to the shop, then there are cars to tinker with.   :003:
