ParticipantOur old unit gave up. We replaced it with a basic GE 18′ purchased from Middletons, Angels Camp. At the store, I was told that the new refrigerators will get cold enough to trigger a switch to automatically shut down. It will start again when it gets warm enough. It was suggested that I might run a small electric heater on the floor to keep the unit from turning off. Another guy suggested I either:
a.just close the door and walk away. The food will stay cold, the unit will turn back on when the cabin warms up.
b.empty the unit of all food, leave the door ajar, turn off the unit.
I don’t like the heater idea, and adding another chore is also not appealing. Any cabin owners that winterize before you depart with new-fangled refrigerators? Have any input? Many thanks!

ParticipantWhat type of antifreeze should we be using to winterize our cabin? I’m not sure we’ve been using the right type, and I’ve heard that this winter will be colder.

ParticipantWe were going to use Twinkle but when she came out to give us an estimate, it was $165.00 for a relatively small cabin. My wife and I did all the windows from the inside with the help of a window washing extension and window cleaning tool. Washed all the screens too. It only took about half a day. IMHO Twinkle used to be reasonable but not any more.

ParticipantTwinkle is the only choice. Great crew. Reasonable prices.

ParticipantDitto for Twinkle. Friendly, competent and fair prices.

KeymasterMost likely cables used for hauling cut trees from where er were cut to where they were processed to be trucked or trained out of the forest. They might also be broken cables that they use for strapping the trees down on the logging trucks.

ParticipantSo what are the rusty cables poking through ground around the area? We’ve got some in our crawl space, I see them in SPI land, I see them at Lake Alpine. They are 1-2 inches in diameter, a twisted rope of metal cable. Anyone know their origin?

ParticipantThanks. I just ordered the book. I really hate it when the shipping charge is higher than the item you’re buying. Grrrrrrrrr. Book is $3.50. Shipping is $4.50. Forgot what tax was.

ParticipantAnd here is the photo of what I think is a fox but, don’t really know. Why can’t these guys sit still and come by during the day?

ParticipantOmg thank you! I am going to buy this! I tried to plant poppies too, but they didn’t do well. I’m always taking pictures of the wild flowers, so I can plant them & nobody ever knows what they are.
So thank you!!! -
