I figured it was just an oddity and we bought another, this one seems to be working intermittently and can't keep up. We have plans in the works to do something else to keep the water thawed. Right now we just have to break through the 4" of ice.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-39391657886802314282011-02-02T23:39:35.506-06:002011-02-02T23:39:35.506-06:00What is that blue stuff in the de-icer photo?

Let me tell you it is miserable and thankfully it's supposed to be moving out of MT, heading East( sorry to those East of us) thus the reason for the wind! <br /><br />Turkeys are dumb, ours have shelter, but rarely use it. It's bedded mice and blocks the wind, has a heavy duty roost and yet they choose to roost out in the weather and frigid temps*sigh*<br />Our cattle don't want out of their barns today, so we'll leave them in.<br /><br />Our windows look the same<br /><br />Bundle up and stay warm<br />KelleKelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-61505226060331024982011-02-02T09:32:42.165-06:002011-02-02T09:32:42.165-06:00The turkeys look disgusted. :) Great pics!The turkeys look disgusted. :) Great pics!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769150016495656772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-27298332383402422902011-02-02T09:00:39.644-06:002011-02-02T09:00:39.644-06:00OMG.
