Coffee anyone ?

$20 to $30 for diesel and equipment work? That’s crazy!

That's top earning wages here.
You could always go up the road for this wage...

Crazy to think looking at that picture for size reference that is 8' where the metal curves outwards in the center and where we call home.

Back in the 3am coffee at home club.
It's a normal thing at work. But I've actually managed some good sleep lately in my nights off. I was getting really good at waking up after sunrise. Oh well.

I am enjoying my coffee. I actually slept until 6:45. I needed that sleep! I’ll be back on the chicken coop this morning.

Only about -12°F outside, all will be fine.

Takes a hammer drill with a 4 inch wide spade bit to get to water for animals. So far the ice is 8 inches deep here. Being it's cordless I also keep the battery indoors until I need it, same with any other battery or it throws a fit once we get close to zero degrees.

I don't think I could do your cold with the animals.. except to bring in the water so it would not freeze overnight... and I don't think you are set up to do that very well...

For the pigs we have a root cellar with our water in there of 1500 gallon tank. Stays in mid 40's down there buried in a small hillside. Every morning feed 10 gallons of corn/wheat/barley mix that was fermenting, then grab two more 5 gallon buckets of water to water them all stored in there. I'm sure if I can't get water from the small pond for the birds I would just grab them a bucket of water. So far in two winters I haven't had that problem, the problem I have had is too cold to let them out -25°F or colder which is where I just leave them locked up with feed and a 2.5 gallon bucket of water.
Maybe I should do a video on the process
