Good Morning!--Chat thread

thewife, you need a water hose!

No, I need umph!
2 hoses are draped all over the squeeze area in a noodle mess, from draining during the deep freeze. The third hose I would need, is over here at the house.
I can't take the third hose over there until I wash out Hubbys boat.
I did the math, buckets are less work!

Your draping hoses to drain? I hook one end over something and then slowly pull the hose in, draining it at the sametime, coiling it at my feet as I go. Drains good and they are more compact when done.

My cheap hoses don't coil, they climb fences!
I unhook from the faucet, then slowly feed it over the side of the chute, letting it pile up on the other side. When I need it again, I just hook it up and go!
It usually doesn't become such a noodle mess, but I'm thinking when Hubby stole my third hose, he had to do some digging!

I use the more expensive rubber type coated hoses. Those cheap plastic ones don't like our cold winters and they don't last long either. It's worth the money to buy the more expensive ones.

Yeah, but, how long does your's stay frozen? For awhile in the morning and then thaw out later in the day?

 

[wynedot55]

yes if i was lucky.an sometimes it would be a few days fore i could use them.goodthing the cows could drink from the pools.

 

[Thewife]

The sun came out!
It will probably go away as soon as I head back to the barn!
I had to bring Mr. X's baby Kubota over here to hose off the tires.
It has 3 that need air, but for some reason he has all the valves on the inside?
Won't be too bad airing up the front 2, but the back one is gonna be interesting!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Some put them on the inside so they don't get caught on brush, etc. as easily.
