Jason gave me a tour of his house a month or so ago, it is an outstanding design and build. I was very impressed with the level of detail that went into the design and planning.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

Built my coffee table and 10' long dining table. I'll get y'all some pics. They're big, stout and heavy of course.
Steel frame, 1 3/4" wood top. Flat black steel, stained and sealed wood.

Jason what do you have in place to protect your water stores with the freezing temps so your tanks don’t freeze?

Jason what do you have in place to protect your water stores with the freezing temps so your tanks don’t freeze? Very good question. This cold snap has taught me a lot. We have been without power and water the vast majority of the last 24 hours. The power can easily be solved with a generator, but I too am curious what you have done with your water situation.

Investigated yesterday. As big as those tanks are, about a 3/4" layer of ice formed on the circumference as well as the surface. My failure to wrap the pump intake and discharge in heating cable made the line from tank to pump freeze. I bet the heat cable is the solve.

Thank you.
They're stout and heavy. Didn't need em that stout and heavy, but that's how they turned out.
They will be here after all of us are long gone. I dated and left my initials on the bottom with some welds.

Looks great, the tables are nice.
I bet the heat tape will serve you well, I have my water line on my transfer pump wrapped in tin foil, the heat tape, then insulation. They have not missed a beat during this cold spell.

Heat tape works wonders, but don’t leave it on permanently or the mice will chew it off. For now, in emergency situations, you can cut apart an electric blanket and do the same things.

How big is your stand by generator? Propane? Does it power the entire house or select items?

Propane, whole house.
Tankless heaters, cooking range, and generator run off propane. I got a 500 gallon instead of a 250 gallon because of the generator.
The generator came set up for natural gas. The ONLY thing I had to do to switch it to propane was turn a valve 180°.
Getting set up with Generac was easy. I have spoken with them twice. They're Wisconsin yankees, but both times they were super nice and super helpful. I programmed the generator to run a self check at 0900, every other Saturday morning.

I programmed the generator to run a self check at 0900, every other Saturday morning. I spent a little time in Wisconsin inspecting some electrical switchgear, and touring a huge fabrication facility. Everywhere I went the locals were extremely nice and friendly. They talk funny but everyone I met was good people. Reminded me of home except for all the snow and ice, oh WAIT!

Nice tables! I'm planning on doing something similar with some cedar I cut with an Alaskan chainsaw mill. I need to let the wood dry for a year or more first.
