zila1: Sometimes we have snow on the ground by Halloween. Let's see what happens this year. I only stepped outside twice today. It's just so nice and cozy in the house.

zila1: ShrimpBrime: My crawl space is heated too. My basement is heated real nice too. It's warm and cozy down there. I work out during the winter months down there.

ShrimpBrime: Yep, should snap the trees into dropping the leaves now. Summer to winter in just a week. Gotta love Chicago land! My crawl space is heated. Cause if not, cold toes all winter on the main level

zila1: I just got a freeze warning for tonight on my pc and my cell phone. I'm gonna go out and drain the outdoor faucets and put freeze covers on them. I like that little added protection. Neighbor down the street forgot last year and his pipes burst. Ugh.

austin86: zila1 my house was rewired by a X old order Amish guy... I know the pain of having to rewire stuff all to well. Fun times !

austin86: zila1 Hmm ours has a humidifier on it, maybe because its 90% one and not 98%. but now that I think of it I need to drain my heater heater, we never use hot water TBH so I'm sure its not to bad

zila1: I have Peripheral neuropathy and can't take the cold weather very well so I try to prepare my house for it as best I can. Hence all of the stepped up maintenance at this time of year.

zila1: I do this every year in hopes of coasting thru the winter with as little problems as possible. I also have a whole house back-up generator to maintain. 24KW Generac. I love that thing. Easily powers the whole house during an outage. Ice storms can suck.
