Agree. Kevin Dye also painted our cabin and did an excellent job.

Had our cabin painted by Kevin Dye a few years back. Excellent job. Kevin even drove me around looking at colors of other cabins. Very nice guy.

Can anyone recommend a painter. My place could use some TLC.

I removed the posts regarding Abbot’s at the request of the original poster. Apparently there was erroneous, or at least unsubstantiated information being spread (aka Fake News)

What happened to Abbotts’s Snow Removal and what happened to the other posts as gagacabin mentioned?

[gagacabin]

What happened to the other posts on here? Some are missing, or is it just me?

Along this line, last winter for the first time, the snow blower/plow service we use (won’t mention any names as the service has always been excellent) ground deeply into our concrete driveway in spots. Does everyone use similar equipment or are some machines more prone to do this kind of damage than others? Would like to retain the attractive “stamped” surface on our drive if possible.

While looking up snowblower maintenance on YouTube, I came across a quick and easy addition that hopefully will remove my snowblowing frustrations. I’m sure everyone faces the same challenge. While trying to clear wet heavy snow, I’m frequently having to unplug the chute because of snow build-up. This happens when there is a gap between the edge of the impeller (the device that pushes the snow through the chute) and the side of the chute. My gap was just under a 1/2″. By adding a rubber pad on each impeller blade, the gap goes away and so does any build-up. Can’t wait to test this on the first snows.

My thanks to Jodie’s Mobile Repair (209-795-0735) for installing the pads for me. It would not be a difficult project for a DIY’er but I already had Jodie doing some troubleshooting for me so I asked him to do it and he did a great job.

Hope to hear some success stories…

Adam went out of his way to help us with some driveway issue that we had during the heavy snow. Thank you Adam.
Jessica was very helpful with any concerns or questions that I had too.
I highly recommend his service for snow removal.

Thanks again for the great reminder of what’s all around us.

Wow, that was fantastic. Thank you for posting and taking the time to edit that. I particularly enjoyed the bobcats and mountain lion shots.

The camera is easy to use and the batteries last about 6-7 months. I have had a camera stolen/smashed in the past so I now have a metal case around it in the woods. I will be back at Christmas to see what the fall/early winter animals are up to. It is a Moultrie Wildlife camera.

Mike, what a great video and such an incredible diversity of wildlife right out our back door. I assume you have a critter cam set up. I have often thought of doing that too. Are there any tricks to getting it right?

There’s some kind of thermal pattern to it. The smoke seems to be heaviest at night or early morning when it has been really hot during the day. I’ve definitely noticed because those are the nights when you really want to leave your windows open to cool the house, but several times I’ve had to shut them and live with heat. Usually it’s fine when I fall asleep, but I’ll wake up right as things are really starting to cool off to the smell of smoke. The smoke will hang around until mid-morning, and then usually drift off for the middle of the day as it heats up, only to return. However, when the temps are cool during the day like last week we haven’t been getting much of it at all. Since this weekend will be very hot, I’m predicting smokey mornings.
