Love the coin on the frozen cup idea to see how things are working while I’m gone. I also keep an old 2 Ltr soda jug full of water/ice in the freezer while we are gone so if it does shut down it helps keep things cold till the power comes back on. I had issues in the past but since leaving he heat on at 45 all has been good.
Strange. It works fine on my iPad, version 1 which is not compatible with iOS7. Very nicely done. Thanks for the great images.

It is time to get new tires for my Subaru Outback, and I am looking for suggestions. We live in the bay area, (yes, flatlanders) spend lots of time at our cabin and skiing in the winter. On the old site there was a great thread on snow tires. I can’t seem to find that discussion. If anyone has suggestions on what kind of winter tires to get, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Pleanair47It may be due to iPad IOS not supporting Flash… there are many YouTube videos that I can’t watch on my iPod for the same reason. That’s a bigger problem than BigTreesTech can deal with 😉
joeWell, let’s give this a try… I went to your video on YouTube, clicked Share and copied the link here. I did NOT make a link, I just pasted the text here:
Hi Joe,
I have a new slide show from a recent trip to the Eastern Sierra that I’d like to share: http://youtu.be/cM4jPr2mllU. What the process to get it posted on the new site?
Thanks,

Thanks for all the great input. We’ve decided to use a relaxed approach as winter begins. We’ll leave the refrigerator on, door closed, and continue to drain pipes and turn off the heater. Before the next visit, we’ll also continue to pre-heat (by 4 hours or so) the cabin with the phone-activated FAG heater. Hopefully when we arrive, the refrigerator will have re-activated also as the cabin warms. Inside the fridge, I plan to install an electronic thermometer that can be zeroed out before we leave the cabin. Upon return, we can retrieve the stored high/low readings inside the fridge since the last visit. The frozen water cup and coin are also going into the freezer. I do expect the coin to drop. But after a while, we should know if all was well or if some re-thinking is in order. I’ll follow up here if anything doesn’t work out. Again, thanks; I feel better having a plan.
LarryI think the bottom line is if a refrigerator/freezer combo only has one thermostat in the refrigerator the compressor will not run enough in cold weather to keep food frozen in the freezer. Shouldn’t be a problem though if you keep your place at 45 degrees. We never had a problem when we were weekenders but we didn’t keep much food in the freezer.
I have a question, we have a concrete slab floor. My husband seems to think because of this that we do not need to use the antifreeze.. I say better safe than sorry.
We always turn the water off at the base and drain all toilets etc.
In this case, I don’t care if I am right or wrong, I just want to do what is correct.
