    Man and I thought my day was rough. I had to unload a pallet of sod in the rain, I guess it could have been worse.

    We had the wind, but no snow (yet) at work this past week. Crown Point had to be closed due to 80-90mph gusts.

    Light rain with a 6 mph wind out of the north .............. nock the wind down to about 40 and i'd trade ya. The snow would be insulation for my ranch.

    How far along are you on the cabin? Obviously, that's gonna put a wrinkle in the buried electric. I'm thinking you posted it was insulated.

    Today I am going to try to unroll the wire, all two hundred pounds of 1 1/2" diameter wire, 265 feet long, while praying the plastic sheath on the wire does not crack from being frozen. And some how get it stuffed into 265 feet of plastic flex conduit. The cabin is insulated and about 1/2 vapor barrier is installed.

    80mph wind and snow. Nice.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
