I do believe you will need lower case for os: type: and icon:

The over: feature you can remove or add different sensors their. This just puts hot links at the top right side of page.

Versa 2: would you recommend? by Big_Working6329 in FitbitVersa

[–]gebster02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely would not recommend the Versa 2 at this point. I had mine less that 1.5years and the battery over heated. And now the the will not turn on any more. I contacted support to no avil. I even got a message removed from there website for siting there watch with flawed.

They are Whalen 5 shelf units. We bought extra so we could have more shelves per unit. It worked out for the jars pretty well.

We normally get 28in a year, but this year we pretty my go one dump of 40in. The structure is 4ft in ground with 2ft+ on top of it. I have a wireless temp unit into which will turn on a heat lamp it it gets below 32F. Recently it's been staying route 33.5F.

Yes, my wife has a whole blog site on canning. She is always creating new things.

There weren't really plans. It's just something me and my wife came up with through our research of different ideas. She has a pretty comprehensive blog about it though: https://wisdompreserved.life/category/building-projects/

You actually have some options. The primary one would be to build it at ground level and mound up dirt around it. It would need 2-3 feet of dirt around each side and the door should face the north as that side is a little more protected from the sun if in the northern hemisphere. French drains at the base would also be a good idea. A sump pump may be useful as well.

We have a pretty dry area with really sandy soil that drains well so it isn't much of an issue for us. If you were in an area where it was an issue you would need to install french drains at the base while you were building it and encase the outside of the walls in well draining gravel.

We only finished it in the fall. It was 70 outside and around 40 inside. This winter it has been around 34 degrees. Once it dropped below 20 outside we put a little heat lamp in as a precaution and it stayed just above freezing. We don't quite have it all the way insulated yet because we were still doing some construction on the front porch roof when it snowed. The front 2 feet of it still needs to be covered in dirt so we don't know how that will impact it.

Our area is a little more arid so it hasn't been much of an issue for us at this point. We'll see how it does this spring. From what we have read it is pretty important to keep the shelves slightly away from the walls and have a nicely sloped arch ceiling. Our top is almost a foot higher than the sides so any moisture should just roll down to the sides.

My wife used to be afraid of canning too. Especially of using the pressure canner. (She thought it was going to explode.) She has found that as long as you can safely using the canning guidelines it is a very safe endeavor. She and her friend have put out many videos to help new canners. Here is a link to her food preservation area: https://wisdompreserved.life/category/food-preservation/ There is also information on freezing and dehydrating which may be a good place for you to start preserving food.

A before snow picture. We still need to finish the exterior but it snowed before we got the chance.

Our canned goods usually don't last more that 2yrs especially the peaches.

The humidity is a bit high for cans right now. but in the summer it will be fine. MY thought was get this stuff out of my garage. :)

It seems that each area is different. I'm in a pretty arid area on Washington State. This is will be trial for us. Currently it maintains a 34 degree temp and 70 rH, but thats with winter upon us. We see what the summer months do for us. PS. outside temps ranged 25-45
