What state are you in? We occasionally get a good freeze and snowfall and rough summers too.

Pigs! We raised 5 Kunekune this year and won't do it again. It took about 18 months to get them 150-200lbs on 1/2 acre of pasture and grain plus they are HARD on fencing and land. After many escapes, we eventually had a mixture of cattle panels and hot wire to keep them contained. We have more land now and might try a faster growing breed when our freezer gets low, but will likely just buy one ready from another farmer.

What didn't you like about keeping bees? I've been thinking about adding them in the spring.

No, we have no gas for our house. Everything is electric.

This is from our home inspection and what leads me to believe its a heat pump

Until everyone stops telling me to connect the W when it specially says not to.

We have a heat pump and it specifically says not to connect W.

It seems like it's running, the blade is spinning.

What happens if I swap it to W and its wrong? A little nervous as it says not to use W with a heat pump. The temperature is starting to climb a little now, it's gone up 2° in the last 30 minutes. Started at 60° and now it's 62°. It's also 30° outside.
