How did the beans and ham turn out?
Most excellent......
Did you have cornbread to sop up the juice?
No,I was lazy. Mrs doesn’t eat cornbread, if I make it it’s for me.
So we have found one thing that is wrong with her.
Gobble,out of curiosity how much insulation or heat do you need in your wellhouse to prevent freezing on those extra cold mornings? I know you all have colder temps than we do. I can get by with an incandescent light bulb and 3/4 styrofoam sheet on the inside walls. I had an older pumphouse with rolled insulation between studs,I pulled insulation once because it got roached up. The next time it was about 20 degrees it froze my pressure guage line and busted it. That's the only time I ever had a freeze up. I started running a heat lamp then on cold nights.
sounds real familiarThe 50 year old well house had roll fiberglass in it and was badly decayed. When craka and I rebuilt it we put roll fiberglass in the 2X4 walls and R6? 1" foam board in the lid. Last weekend when I went into the well house it was warmer inside than it was outside. Yes there was a 60W bulb on. I have only had the water line freeze once when it was in the upper teens one morning 5 years ago and I really don't where it froze up.
