We are done with the Intake for this year.
Everything from the creek on is sealed in, and insulated as best as we can. Because of Mad Cat's blade, with work getting in the way of fixing it, we could not cover anything down the hill.
The snow started falling at the start of November. How many of you have that initial panic to cover up everything and move it so it can be found once everything has been buried? It was a little fun to rush around.
As a little disappointment, the next few days after, it rained and generally thawed out the snow. With everything sealed up as best as we can. I hoped for lots of snow. Then, just yesterday, a massive snowstorm moved in, and we now have close to six inches of snow. It's still coming down, so I guess it's time to start plowing snow.
We have a new (to us) piece of equipment! Thanks to eBay, we got our hands on a late 80's Grove AMZ-66 manlift. (the newest piece of heavy equipment we have!) When we were using a 40-foot manlift for renovating our house and pruning the trees, we were amazed at just how useful a manlift was just around the house! The long reach could transport building materials up to the upper floor of our house, and is way safer to use than a ladder!
We got the manlift on the condition that it was barely functional. It spent most of it's life as a maintenance platform (Only 3000 hours on it!) in a chemical plant, so the sheet metal on the unit is corroded. The unit starts up and moves around, but two functions do not work. Otherwise, it is in way better shape than we had feared it would be.
