Here's a CD & Album found stored away at home:

That's interesting, we were just listening to the Doobie Brothers last night, found Doobie Brothers Greatest Hits CD stored away at home last night, too.

Looking Goood!!!!! We have icy roads, thankful the weather was not as bad as the forecast so far, so we're hoping to see the Patriots win this afternoon!!!!

Around Lincolnton NC it's about 20F with temps forecast to increase to about 30F before temps drop again this evening. Freezing rain forecast through today until this evening. I'm seeing what looks like sleet right now. So far power is OK here with reported outages around the area. Temps forecast to drop to high single digit Tuesday AM, that's very cold for this area around Charlotte NC. So far Spectrum internet is working, too.

That's interesting about the location of the heat pump & code. That's a neat graph, too! Hope the forecast improves, will have a better idea tomorrow.

@topgun2 @CRM & @Steve Morris, Appreciate the replies! We have a newer heat pump installed and it does a good job heating with our winter temps in southern NC. Thanks,

Agree, planning to have 3/12 pitch (new at this) and making it easy to set up/take down along with compact storage. Will see! 🙂 Thanks,

We have a heat pump here in southern NC and have a question, has anyone here experienced damage to their heat pump or familiar with damage to a heat pump from excessive freezing rain/sleet/snow build up on the unit's fan and exposed components? I'm thinking about installing a temporary 4'X4' tarp about 2' or 3' above the unit during the storm to keep excessive amounts of ice out of the unit. Since we've lived here winter storms have not been as bad as local news stations are forecasting this storm to be. Thanks,

Here's the old & new style battery tray:

If the wiring is correct, also thought there may a loose or bad connection in a cable, but the current draw looked even across all the batteries. The minimum torque on my Epoch lugs is 70 inch pounds. Geoff gave me the torque in NM that I cannot find, but I had converted the minimum torque to inch pounds. When you go to Q, there will be plenty of knowledge there to draw upon.

John, I'm just learning about Epoch batteries, are all the cells on Epoch 3 close to the same voltage on the Cell page? Edit: The more I look at it they are probably close to the same since the voltages are 12.8 on all batteries. Geoff in support at Epoch has answered all of my questions, so far.

The bill is in Ollie (stored) for 4 new bright white shades in 2019, believe it was around $700 for 4. Will check next time I visit Ollie.

It's not as difficult as it looks, I would replace them all so you have the same size/age cords in that shade.

I'm guessing around 2017, that's what I came up with in 2024, but I should have asked Oliver when I talked to them about the fiberglass spare tire cover.

The following thread on Will Prowse's forum started last August, (mentioned on page 1 of this thread) is up to 62 pages so far, https://diysolarforum.com/threads/battle-born-battery-issue.110295/ I cannot embed the YouTube link, but "Will's Garage" (not Will Prowse) on YouTube has done a BB autopsy with discussion videos. This video by "All About RV's" shows Will Prowse's video and expands on the subject:
