Small Solar panel on the roof to charge a car battery hooked to a few 12 volt incandescent bulbs ? Like say an old xmas light set cut down to 4 or 6 bulbs ?? Wheres the Sparky he might be able to tell you if that can work. I do know the little bulbs c-7s..... get pretty damn hot .

These popped up for sale in my area. Exactly like the first heater I remembered us having in that old farm house. Coal was a mess!!

 

This from someone who has not ever dug into the ground in TX, Mike think Maine rocks but in their case they have caliche which is HARD AS HELL from the top but the side it breaks like slate it is not in small chunks either it is ledges a few inches under the soil.:} I thought digging a hole in Maine sucked hitting the dinosaur egg rocks etc etc and usually you could lever them out but that caliche crap who ever thought tiling Texas with it needs to be shot:}

Just cut all the bulbs off and twist the two wires together. Gets real hot... For a few milliseconds.

 

Yeah but then he has to wet his finger tips and hold them together and he would whine about that I am sure :}

Our yard is just a facade. I could start digging and get enough rock to block the house.

 

Thank you for the edgumacation, I have been saying it wrong.

So I have been reading up on E10 gas...it sucks. 3 month shelf life before it starts to absorb water...nice. what I read is that diluting and burning it off is the simple way to get rid of it. If it isn't too late, of course.

Makes me glad my gas station is always busy, gas won't sit there too long.

I will pull the hose and put some fuel in the body, next time I am there. Hopefully the moisture is low enough.

 

And here lol I am not sure where or how far you would have to dig to hit a rock, Years ago I had to dig up a phone line to see where it went I dug a trench by hand 6 foot long or so about 2 foot down and did not find a single rock, pebble nothing . I was amazed lol I even called my dad and was like you would not believe this :} . An old farmer here told me the ground in a lot of this state was underwater at one time. Which made no sense to me since most of the lakes and ponds here are man made.

We are on an old debris flow from a decomposing granite mountain range. More rocks than dirt. Went to cut a 12" root, had a 10" rock inside if it. Chainsaw didn't like that.

 

I bet not :{ If you drive around Maine and look in the fields you will see huge piles of rocks on the edges kind of looks like the folks are farming rocks lol. Most are the smooth semi round in size huge to tiny as I recall from school they were ground up on the bottom of the glaciers as they moved through .

Find an Army Navy surplus place and try to find Tankers Long Underwear try a set see how you like them. I will warn you if you have them on and go inside a heated building lol you might get really warm really fast . I used them for years out side with the pups in cold enough to give a dog frost bite on his ears temps.
Seems Amazon has them but for a trial might be better to find them at an army navy .
