Default Old Girl Shows Her Displeasure At Sleeping Out

Hi All

Well since I got Beauty back into the heated shop, she has been showing her displeasure at being left out side over night in a snow storm. She has been peeing all over the floor as the snow melts.

Amazing how many gallons of water had to be vacuumed up twice a day as the snow melted off the roof of the truck.

It has been so cold for the last several days (-23C overnight) that even though the air temperature in the shop never goes below 40F or 4C, that's as far as the thermostat will allow. The water coming off the truck is freezing on the floor around the out side walls. Frost is into the ground so hard that it is going in under the slab.

The funny thing is that the air is so dry that as soon as the standing water is vacuumed up the floor dries within about 15 minutes. The floor is both smooth and nearly dead level so water spreads out, guess the good thing is that in the process of vacuuming the water up I get the floor pretty clean.


Cheers Phil
