Hey, dumb question, but how much anti-freeze in the Wisconsins? :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist.

Lavoy, their is a logical answer to that....after even a short day of bouncing on the old bcats, they need the oil and... I need the antifreeze!

Freezing Already

I would imagine the Pilsner is starting to freeze in Saskatchewan as it is here in Edmonton. I did the rounds on a few recent purchases to go them ready for winter.

Next step is to determine what winter projects to work on and get them into position for winter. It was too wet for us to get the dirt work done for my dad's shop so we'll be working in my small one for the winter.

We just poured the footing this week and will move the building into it a few weeks. That way we can pour the floor inside with the heat turned on.

I'll post some pictures on how we moved it shortly. You'll either be impressed or think I'm crazy.
