Forgive my gratuitous snow photo but this is the first snow we have had since buying the place in 2020.

1984 4Runner Michael. We bought it a few months old with around 6k miles. It was my wife’s work truck for a few years but has been at our place in south Alabama for hunting duty more or less for the last 20 years. Clutch slave cylinder froze on it last fall so I trailered it home for some TLC.Very lovely Greg. Is that a new addition to the fleet I spy under new roof?
Thanks; it's slowly but surely getting there. First post, second photo shows the HVAC plenum. It has a 4T heat pump which so far has done great summer or winter.Just read through your whole thread, great work. I did a shop six years ago and the lighting has always been an area that needed improvement which I’ll be doing this summer. Have you considered any kind of HVAC? I have heat and a portable AC unit, but the AC doesn’t keep up with the hot Michigan Summers
Final question it look like in the earlier photos. I saw something with a black car cover that could’ve been a Camaro? Did I I spy that again great work
We have one tree down across the creek but oddly enough it didn't actually fall until around 10 this morning......with me watching. Now that doesn't happen very often. BIL just left our house and said Alabama Power crews were working nearby so hopefully we will be back online soon. I actually drove our main road in both directions and didn't see any downed trees and/or lines so not sure what the problem is/was.Mine went off about same time but I'm on Tallapoosa River Elec Coop. Came back on at 7 so no real frustration. I was on AL Power for many years and I like TREC better. Longest I've been out since at new place was about 6hrs one night when a drunk took out a pole/transformer. From the news it sounds like AP still has a lot of outages. Given the wind when the front came through I thought for sure I'd have some damage but as far as I can see, only one dead pine finally fell.
460 Ford for 30 KW sounds like overkill. My 50 KW is powered by a GM 5L V8 running off propane. It was not straining at all yesterday but I'm sure we weren't using anywhere near the full capacity of the gen set.I've been looking for a good deal on a commercial grade generator for years. Thought I had one locally a few weeks ago - 30kw powered by a Ford 460 but somebody else wanted it more than me. I made him pay for it though! Mostly just want it for a good deal and to tinker with more than really wanting a backup power source for the house. In the 40+ years I've been in this area the longest I've been without power was a couple of days after Hurricane Opal in 1995. Many others were out for much longer but I was lucky,.
