The Deluge Continues, 3DP, GR8, Chimney Sweep, Fog, Krumble - Sunday

in Homesteading7 days ago

Woke to the sound of rain again yesterday morning as it moved off to the east. After sunrise I went out to empty the gauge and had just shy of .6". Quite the snow remover.

Got the printer going and made a case for the T114 mesh node that holds a pair of 18650s.

Then the HSW panel borders got printed so I can make the 3rd multi color panel.

@stryeyz went to start a fire in the fireplace but the smoke wouldn't exit the chimney. I went out and popped open the base of the chimney and found a pile of shit in the bottom. I then went on the roof and and found the chimney was rather full of creosote. So I grabbed the sweep and managed to get the bulk of the creosote knocked down. I'm pretty sure the super heavy and humid air also had an air lock on the chimney not allowing the air to flow. Once I was done the fire lit and burned just fine.

All day the farm was a mass of fog and mist. The creek kept emanating and oozing it all over the farm all day long. A couple times it cleared for a short bit then came right back in.

Then in the afternoon the storm moved in and the rains began again.

I printed the first 2 pieces of the mason bee "house" to see how they would come out and I'm quite happy with them. I then got the rest of the parts printing which took 10 hours to finish.

The storm moved over for the evening and let loose on the region which has flooding happening all over.

The Kraken can't win the second of a back to back game for their lives. They got destroyed by the Lightning.

The timing worked out pretty well that the storm pushed on past in time for us to go out and soak without getting rained on.

Boys have a late start today thanks to the flooding and black ice, the rain will return this evening and through tomorrow and likely get rid of the rest of the snow, I'll prep for ice climbing Wednesday, will wander farm and check on water levels and look for any damage after the storms, then R has wrestling practice tonight.
