cold here this morning- we have -1* with the wind chill making it feel like -16* and the rest of the week is suppose to be similar temperatures....brrrrr.....when temps get like this we have to watch the goats extra close to make sure they are staying warm. A few ventured outside for a bit but most are staying inside.

Except you would then have to give up ALL your outdoor animals SBC! No hiding in the house when the critters need your attention. I guess you better just stay down there in "warm" North Carolina ;)

@Bruce if I lived there.. I would just be in hibernation.

unfortunately hibernation isn't an option but some days I wish it was...;)

Just got back from going and looking at a furnace at a unit- it wasn't running, with DH talking me through the steps via phone I got it going again-he will stop in later and double check things unless it has problems again sooner(I told the tenant to let us know right away if it doesn't warm up after an hour or so). And because of the cold, he has to go and look at some frozen pipes at another unit......

sounds like the tenant was able to reset the outlet and plug in a heater but he still go and take a look to make sure...he was contacted by the owner to take care of this.

Wanted to check the "like" box H&R but what's to like about possibly inop heating equipment in the middle of winter? :hit Hope no broken pipes.

Just looked at my extended forecast and this coming Sunday night is supposed to be low single digits and Monday night... negative! :ep High Tuesday of ~36°f followed by lows of ~19 that night. I didn't sign up for this when I moved here to TX... Thought I was far enough south. I guess with this global warming I better consider Central America. I here Costa Rica is a real nice place for expats to retire to. ;)
