Changing oil in my generator, I set it on the tailgate of my truck. Much easier to work on. I also run it before the oil change so it’s hot and the oil drains easy. Since you must keep your generator outside maybe build a three sided shelter for it from rain and snow. Another suggestion, how about a shed for the firewood to collect and keep it dry. Hey an maybe an enclosed little mud room at the front door to keep that heat in. A shed is good for lots of stuff as you know especially your gas cans, tools , etc. Its just about making organization make things easier for you guys. Hey Kyle, a woman that can live in primitive lifestyle, loves her dog, cooks, helps out and loves to fish, ICE FISH! I got two words for you..........marry her!! Have fun! Love the video and the cooking, always!

My great great grandfather, Asa Fitch Holcomb, who enlisted 12/09/1863, Co. B 24th Reg. NY Cavalry, 45 at the time, was at the front as a saddle stitcher for this entire campaign, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Laurel Hill and Cold Harbor. His feet were disfigured from a fire in his youth but as a cobbler and harness maker he was there. He couldn’t walk very well but still did his duty. I have the greatest respect for all of these men on both sides. It is the greatest disrespect in my mind to tear down or remove their memorials of the Confederacy erected by their descendants, families and neighbors for each man following his duty and even dying for it, especially Lee’s beautiful statue. History cannot be re-written. This is how it was and 21st century judgements pale with the reality of those past terrible bloody battles and times. Reunions in later years of both armies showed the greatest respect for each other and even shed tears as former fellow adversaries. My great great grandfather’s brother, Amos C. Holcomb enlisted 11/28/1861 at age 41 and survived to be discharged on 11/18/1865. He was with Co. H 93rd Infantry Reg. NY Volunteers. We need to honor all these men from both armies.
Thank you for a great job with this video.

@firewater1865 No, I was not specifically aware of certain protocols at her hospital other than strict isolation of say a whole floor and good protection materials, gowns, masks, etc. of the providers. I think a lot depended on the individual condition of each patient. If you ended up in the hospital you were definitely in respiratory distress so any procedures to relieve that would be followed. One item she shared was that smokers particularly heavy smokers had a worse time with the virus. I caught Covid myself and for me it was like a really bad cold plus at the time I had two vaccinations plus a booster. My physician had me on 1000mg of C, 80mg of Zinc and 125mcg of D3, plus isolation for ten days, rest and fluids, kind of normal stuff for a bad cold. One thing I did different was I slept in my recliner keeping head and chest somewhat elevated. In 5 days I was over it but stayed isolated for another five days. I’m 76 and have had coronary by-pass so normally take a slew of meds for that condition but am very active too. I live in a cabin in the eastern mountains of WV so my environment is pretty pristine. At the time I was doing some Substitute teaching as our county had a lot of teachers out with Covid. I guess I got my dose of the Covid from the little darlings! Ha Ha! Our county nurse monitored and tracked all cases including me and she approved me back into the classrooms. At this time, of course we still have sporadic cases but nothing like 2021.
Our county was very proactive as everyone had to do a temperature test before entering a school, students used water bottles for drinking however masks were voluntary except riding the buses and students were always spaced apart from each other in the cafeterias and classrooms. Some even had meals back in the classrooms. Virtual classrooms were available to those that desired them too. Our county is small with only 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 HS plus our teacher/student ratio is just 10.6 I think. Small classrooms not only can provide a better educational attention to each student but probably kept the virus bug down too. We are back to “normal” now but still exercise an isolation protocol if you get Covid or come in contact with someone that has. I know different communities dealt with the virus differently especially urban areas but in our little piece of the world this worked for us. Our county has only about 8,000 people being very rural. We had 2,420 cases and 34 deaths. 67% have has the first vaccination and 59% are fully vaccinated for the overall statewide population. Our county is also considered as low risk at this time. Hope my sharing sheds some light on how we dealt with the virus here.
Had to edit a date. Virus was bad in 2021.

@gerihughes1290 Lordship was really an ideal and special place to grow up in. Even Lordship Elementary School was such a great school and I always have remembered my teachers there, MSs. Everette, Bason, Donning, Koverchek and Cannon but especially our Principal Mrs. Coles. There is a great website for Lordship history which has much information. Many great places for us too, Gerstills Drug Store later Community Pharmacy with Marty and Nina Palukis, and soda fountain, the Long Beach Skating Rink, Pansy’s later Nick’s Hideaway and later Marnick’s, Eddie Mariano’s, Malafronts Grocery actually called East End Market, our churches, Our Lady of Peace, the Congregational Church, Boys and Girl Scouts, the Lordship Fsthers Club, Aherns, later Maracis, Howies, the Cricket, and many more. Hope you check it all out down memory lane!

I know very little of state run economics. That being said let me ask a question obvious to the common man. If an individual gets in over his head financially, he files bankruptcy, the debts are reduced or wiped out and anything left restructured based on sale of assets and current income. Fall River, MA went bankrupt in 1930 and the state governed its finances for about ten years. In 1975 NYC was effectively bankrupt and through a series of entities created like the Municipal Assistance Corporation, the state created Emergency Financial Control Board, loans from the teachers union of $150 million, a total restructuring of expenditures, revenues plus 2.3 billion in loans from a federal program called the NYC Seasonal Finance Act of 1975, it took till 1985 to restructure all debt and get the city back on sound footing. So why can’t Argentina, a country, do the same thing with some independent entity as trustee and receiver? They will never pay off what they owe the IMF and trying to do so will obviously really hurt the people causing further unrest and suffering. Remember if I owe my bank several hundred thousand dollars, they got me. If I owe them several hundred million, I got them.

John, as someone who has preserved, reused and even built historical replica properties, I have an intro to a solution for you. First, of course if the “bones” of the house exhibit structural integrity, it should be preserved and that is better done by incorporating the house and its architecture into the design of the new addition to the symphony hall. You should first get the symphony board to allow time to study this possible alternative. You should try to involve a local or state university School of Architecture, encouraging a project solution with multiple alternatives. The students with architects should look at the needs of the symphony hall, including design areas and sizes. Then they would brainstorm possible designs which included the house, joined, in or around, even over the house. Key thought: the reason music exists is because of the space and meter of and between the notes. This is what composers do to seek a harmony and balance in their composition. That is the challenge to bring the house in some way into the desired needs and uses of the symphony hall. How can that space in the house be incorporated into the space needs of the symphony hall, even making it a dramatic statement and impression.
I have done this with three old empty department stores, a Sears, a Montgomery Ward and a JC Penney’s in Charleston, WV. I also was in charge of construction inspection of the old Diamond Dept. Store into a state facility in the same town. Further my family restored a colonial home built in 1799 in Stratford, CT and lastly I built an office building in Charleston, WV of a close replica of a building built I think in 1777 on Nantucket Island know as the Pacific Club building. It sits at 216 Brooks Street in that same WV city.
I am not looking for any work as I am retired and happy of it. However, my “two cents” is these buildings should somehow be saved and “where there is a will, there is a way!”.
