Rare to get below freezing here. Maybe a couple times a winter?

I think if I lived in a warm climate I would still build to Wisconsin building codes.

About 600 miles difference in latitude.

Y’all need to come here mid February just to see what it’s like. Lol

 

[gf beranek]

That's a smart thing.

Reflect the heat and insulate a lot…shade. Better yet, half under ground…

We don’t build like we should here. Just run the AC 24/7 for a few months. Eyeroll.

Damn, I should have quoted previous post.

I followed what you were saying.

Likewise in July…for 15 seconds both ways…

I do have a guest bedroom but you have to bring your own snow suite, boots, gloves, hat, long undies (wool is best), and maybe a pocket warmer or dozen. But I think you may have to get those here.

Thanks for the tip.

Actually I was in Minny sota once upon a time, when the ice was 3 foot thick on a lake and the wind was moving like a glacier on to shore and knocking down trees and devastating homes.

Frost heaving the ground and making the roads like roller coaster.

Brutal.

I hear the fall is nice.

Every time I'm in fl i do a double take when i see exposed pipes

My bud from up here in NY bought a place in Florida. He built a pump house and watched as the locals with exposed pipes were thawing and repairing theirs. How many times does it take?

They have water heaters and stuff outside everywhere. Go to a hardware store and they don't even have the self draining hose spigots! Absolute madness lol

 

[davidwyby]

Why would I want my water heater in my house? if it blows up or leaks, it will flood everything!
