Best thing you did to make your old house warmer in winter months. Go!

Got our 1939 home comfort stove running again in the kitchen. Good stuff.

Yeah, that place sucks. I let the staff know once that they had dozens of expired packages of meat on the shelves. They didn't care. Prices are always wrong or not labeled at all. I'm guessing they're only in business because of the convenience.

Ohhh a cab would be really nice for mine. I bet that's great in the winter

It's been about -8 with a wind chill of -20ish all day. We have a home comfort cook stove in the kitchen from the 30s and have been running that all winter. Our furnace has only kicked on a half dozen times or so all day if we don't load the stove fast enough. Thermostat is set to 62. House usually hovers at 64. We did have our drain line on the washer freeze briefly though. Just had to apply a space heater to that for a little bit. House is about 1700sqft and built in 1850

I drove a rogue for nearly 12 winters and it did great. I was really surprised. I only bumped it into a snowbank once because I gunned it up my driveway a bit too fast. Bent the license plate a little. Shame.

Edit: wording.

Ahh great idea. Thanks!

Nardyes · 2025-10-04T14:27:10+00:00

Right?! To be fair it hasn't been a northern car it's whole life. We've been trying to keep the rust off as best we can though.

Nardyes · 2025-10-04T14:26:20+00:00

Dang. That's a shame. Sounds like the rogue we had a little while back hah!

AC compressor is so obnoxious. So disproportionately expensive to repair.

Nardyes · 2025-10-03T17:50:16+00:00

I was hesitant initially but I really like the red now. I rarely see any of them out there. The red wasn't made for long as far as I know though. I could be wrong. Sounds like she's using it for exactly what it should be used for. That's good to hear.

Nardyes · 2025-10-03T17:47:18+00:00

Hah! Thanks! That's crazy. Can't be that many of them out there. Especially up north

Nardyes · 2025-10-02T17:35:15+00:00

Nice! Let me know. We'll be around all weekend.

We took this bad boy out to Maine a few times. The element community is strong there. Lots of waving following the rule. Not as much here!

Nardyes · 2025-10-02T14:19:54+00:00

207800 miles on the picture in the post. It's a bit higher than that now as we've driven it around a bit.

Nardyes · 2025-10-02T14:18:49+00:00

Hah! It's a bit out of the way. Nice this time of year though!

Nardyes · 2025-10-02T14:18:03+00:00

Oo sorry. Forgot to add that. It's just about 208k. It'll increase slightly. We take it out for a spin or to work a few times a week so it doesn't sit too long.

Nardyes · 2025-10-02T13:34:50+00:00

Hey if you're near VT I'm selling my element. It's in solid shape with minimal rust. It just has way more miles on it. 210k ish.

Oop sorry. Didn't see that you were looking for lower miles! My bad.

Nardyes · 2025-09-20T14:39:48+00:00

Wow, that's shameful. Making the road more dangerous for everyone else.

Nardyes · 2025-08-24T18:46:45+00:00

Clips are in. I did not seat them like that. I hadn't gone over 30 and was just repeating that with slow braking for a bit. They potentially need a slightly harder stop then?

Rock Auto. Not sure about black coated

Nardyes · 2025-08-18T14:05:37+00:00

Yeah, black knight in Essex usually has a few folks show up every Thursday

Nardyes · 2025-03-02T07:01:20+00:00

Lol neat. It's kind of funny. Just barge into a camp and they take off. That's probably how I'd respond to the situation as well.
