When winter freezes pipes or heavy snow damages a dock, ingenuity becomes essential.
Some favorite DIY fixes include:
- Frozen Pipes: Using insulation, heated cables, or temporary reroutes until permanent solutions can be installed.
- Dock Repairs: Quick boarding or reinforced supports to keep vessels safe during unpredictable tides.
- Power or Heating Issues: Backup generators, wood stoves, and creative energy-saving setups to get through outages.
In a town where waiting for deliveries isn’t an option, resourcefulness is survival and neighbors sharing knowledge and lending hands make these solutions possible.
Here, DIY isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about keeping life flowing, staying connected, and learning from each challenge.
