Part 3/8:
Mike reminisces about past power outages that lasted up to 24 hours, emphasizing the importance of having a generator for emergencies—particularly during freezing temperatures. Last weekend's temperatures plunged to around 10 degrees Fahrenheit, but thanks to his infrared and Mr. Buddy heaters, he and his dog Rooster stayed warm inside. He shares practical tips, such as leaving hot and cold water dripping to prevent pipes from freezing, a task complicated by his current water line configuration. He considers future home improvements, like fixing exposed water lines or expanding the house, to mitigate these winter hazards.
