    Find a reputable Witcher. If they are good they can find water to so you can drill a well. They can probably tell you approximately how deep the water is so you have an idea of the depth of the well should be. Don't laugh because it does work. I've done it before and my uncle was called by a lot because he was good.

    Determination, in site the unbearable cold, still allows you to make some progress on the siding! I went shopping with my daughter for some groceries on Saturday! I was cold with a strong wind blowing from the interior to the coast - an outflow wind - right on to the entrance/exit doors of the Superstore! Our hands stayed cold until we were home again - Chilliwack, BC. Just a little bit too cold for this old man! But today was quite a bit better!

They use very little electricity. If you are worried about the goats eating them you can put them under so they can't get to them. You can just look online if you are interested. Love the build!

    Sorry to hear about your water issues from previous issues. So if you plan on living there for life, what do you do ? Bigger water storage tanks buried, but you still have to fill them. Bite the bullet and go for a well ? Further back on your property in lower area maybe. The older you get, the more tired, frustrating what you been doing will wear you down. Plan ahead with a permanent solution, from a old retired guy. Cheaper now then later !

    Several days since maybe late December until now my outdoor thermometer has dropped down to +27*F. Thats an overnite reading not during the day like you guys. But being in a hot desert region ( 115*F in summer ) I'm not aclimated to your type of cold. Your temps stick around whereas ours happens compairativly temporarly at night while we are tucked in nice warm beds. But I can relate because I was in Illinoise where the daytime temp was a very cold -23*F. There it was, for me, the coldest place I've ever been and it was so cold it actually numbed my body so I almost didn't feel it. It amazes me how people can live in areas like yours and survive all winter long like you do. That makes working outdoors way harder. My fur hats off to you for doing your work as well as you do in such horrific weather conditions. Keep up the cooooold work because it is an inspiration to us all. Me southern AZ. (USA)
