I'm confident that Al is quite well aware of this fact. But, his wagon is pretty full with tasks that must fall into priority order. I've heard him mention something previously about building a position for the saws and stuff (waxing back to the fabulous work area he built in the barn at the previous property). In time, we'll see these changes made. No doubt.

Al I like the sliding windows you make for some ventilation. I think you should have considered a better backing for the door like marine or exterior plywood.

Al, could you position some places in barn for a camera to capture the interaction with chickens (feeding and counting eggs), feeding whatever animals are inside the other stalls. Take a survey and see just how many of us long time subscribers miss the daily routine choirs. Could lengthen the videos which would not hopefully need any editing. Absolutely do not find daily chores boring.

[@davidgetchell3633]

Good morning to you Sam. I think both TYMs have block heaters, Al just NEEDS to plug them in ! I don't know how much of a drain on their power supply it is, also one for the Can-am up by the house.

[@samvalentine3206]

@@davidgetchell3633 - I had a questionable battery when I was in college (in the 70's) for my VW beetle - it would not start the car when it was cold, and Ithaca NY had cold winters. I started taking the battery inside to keep it warm overnight and that made all the difference - until a good friend gave me a new Sears 36 month battery. It was nice not to have to lug the battery inside every night! So the120v heated blanket for the tractor battery might help Al with his questionable battery...
