    Thanks. I would have preferred to do something bigger but most everything left out in my shop develops rust so I just put the cheap stuff out. 

    Are you running a dehumidifier, Jeff?  If not, might be worth trying to see if it helps even if it is unlikely to cure the issue.  I know my shop, without the DH running, goes through huge swings of humidity.   Given the heat/coldsink that most tools represent they attract condensation like crazy which is likely the cause of some of your rust problems. 

  18. And now what did you do TODAY?

    The bomb cyclone knocked out power in Northfield (and a good chunk of the rest of Vermont). But we got our generator working on propane so we have working heat, refrigerator, stove and outlets in one room. Trying to conserve propane to just use the essentials since this is the first time we used this generator in Vermont and it is unclear how long this may last. 

    Update: The power came back on around 6:15. The generator worked great and we were able to make a nice dinner and finish eating before power was restored. We feel pretty good about the first test.

    Same Jim, power kicked out here around 8pm last night when a second cell went thru and hit us with some crazy gusts for a bit.  Lots of trees down which made going to pick up the kids quite the adventure.

    Still no power here which makes this one of the longest outages we've had since we bought the house (11+hrs).  Everything is ok for now, both fridges powered, house mostly heated, etc.  But the temps dropped like a rock over night (from 50 to 10F) so things are going to be wickedly frozen out in the world.  Here's to hoping the power comes back on soon.  I'd prefer not to attempt to cook Christmas breakfast on a single burner.
