Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska i'm get'in ready for winter....yellow leaves.. a few pic's

Its time boys I see yellow ....all my last minute work is wrapping up ! >the big one was out yesterday all ready for winter...

put some racks away and some of my spare weber's ....

more racks and tires ... even tossed up the old ice house to toss some stuff in ..it aint cute but it works.....and u cant see it unless u are in a plane!

moving this stuff out of one shed to another ..sucks...dam I have killed some stuff

nice day ..a bit hot at 77 for me tho.....

..ODWood boiler lines in ...buried ...finish grade it and 12 cords of wood ready to go ... (yup I got to finish cutting some ..but its in the rite spot

Just keep that toll booth in storage for a bit longer!

always nice to see the one that doesnt show itself every day.

Might be nice by the time I get there then if its showing fall already.

Did you bed those boiler lines?

Too early for that stuff!

Not sure if it's a smell or change in humidity, but you could definately feel it in the air this weekend that the seasons are fixing to change.

I still need to replace my back deck before winter hits, better get cracking.

I put the pipe in a pipe....a small bed of pit run out of the nenana river where needed ...thing is i'm on top of the mtn ..the teeth on the excavator hit solid shifts so I raked her clean and put insulation on 3 sides this is going into under the shop..

pipe in a pipe wit power

I stuffed the ends up (inside some 6" abs) I placed below the footings when I built the place ...I unwrapped the lines to make the bend then I covered them in empd flexible foam ... the black line s the "extension" I made of a hard black tubing ..i'll hookt my spray foam gun to the other end and fill it with foam as I pull the "extension" back out ...filling the pipe in a pipe in a pipe from the inside out

I pulled this "get ready early " years back ...its the easy street> once the outside stuff is done ... a guy can do things in and around the place at any time ..but once the snow hits ..it done /put a fork in her.....I take pics and video of my yard once I got it "set" for winter...NONE of that "where the hell!!!! did I put the dam so and so !!!" no digging and shoving snow around for me !!!! I hate that "I can't find it, stuff" lol!!!!

I always plan to get the yard ready before winter, somehow I always get side swiped by the kids back to school activities and just as I start getting used to all that, the snow starts falling.

Gotcha. The first boiler line pic didn't do it justice, I think. Looks like you have plenty of cushion to not snap a line and good insulation.

If the toll booth is down, I can inspect in a couple weeks.

12 cords...yikes.

Have fun with that.....been there done that. Glad it is over.

We finally got summer here in Kotz. 70's and clear skies last week of so, tho it rained hard overnight. The willows are turning color tho.

It's on the way boys...

Meanwhile, I'm going ATV down the beach tomorrow looking for caribou/reindeer or moose.

Probably get et by a bear...

I should add that everyone is complaining about the heat while commenting on how nice it is.

The little F's are jumping/swimming off the seawall into the Sound on Front Street. One attached a PFD to his bike, and makes the 5 foot drop at speed. Over and over...

Me, I'm hoping the 4-legged critters are coming out to or near the beach for bug relief...
