Yet another blizzard on the East coast

[Chilly807]

Enough with the snow already, it's supposed to be spring! We've had gale force winds, over 60 mph tonight, and heavy snow all day. Looks like another cleanup day tomorrow.

Gusts of 72kph here. Big drifts. Now its turned to heavy snow. All the plows, police and ambulance are off the road. Tomorrow morning should be interesting.

During the heavest gusts, the tarp on my firewood took flight (of course). Cause was chicom princess auto rubber bungies that basically disintegrated! I should have known better.The SnappiHooker Cdn made ones held up, but were too few to hold on. Got it secured now with the loader bucket holding it down under pallets. Not a lot of fun!

My neighbour tried screwing his tarps down this year, I think with some sort of reinforcing washer and deck screws. No idea how that worked, but it has potential I think.

Batten the hatches!
Hope you guys don't get hammered too hard.

Chilly, it turned to rain here this evening and i decided to get a start on things, lots left for tomorrow. Not sure how the pictures will turn out they as screen grabs from poor video.

Good idea, Ive seen them screwed down with tin can lids as washers. Makes it hard to access though.

Next year, Im going to have a woodshed. Have to. Chasing tarps sucks!

Yes it does!
I love PA but some stuff you just have to pass on. Hope all is well on your end of the country guys.

I wish you well with that Jason. I have been saying that for 15 years at least. I still don't have a woodshed, but I intend to build one this summer. :laughing:

LOL. I hear ya Dave. I got a ton of stuff planned for this spring/summer. I think Ill need to clone myself to get it all done.

Thing is I usually pass on PA rubber products and buy the Snappi Hooker brand bungies (which are great and sold at PA). Then I did the famous "hey look at this bag of 5, 24" bungies for $5.00!!, Id be a sucker to pass this up!" thing. Lesson learned.. Again

I'm my own worst enemy about this.

Last year we bought a piece of property next to ours that has a small natural sand esker on it, plus years ago they tell me the town had salted sand delivered there for the plow trucks. It's on the town road and easy to access. Well, of course I need a sand shed now, one where I could scoop up a FEL bucket load and dribble on the driveway for ice, and it combines well with a wood shed.

Then I look at my bush hog stored outside and think--heck if I'm building a shed, may as well make room for that too. And while I'm at it, add some space for a few things crowding my garage. Pretty soon, I'm drawing up plans for a 42'x60' shed. Then I look at that and think, nah, that's too much--no fool like an old fool and all that--and I start over knowing full well I will end up in the same place every time. That may be the definition of insanity. :laughing::shocked:

Naaa, that is the sign of a guy that likes to draw plans. Me too!
