Still Dealing with Hurricane Irma...
The authors of this article are facing a daunting task after their hurricane hit their town. The power is out and they have limited access to basic necessities like milkshake and internet. They were initially considering staying at Nicole's parents, but ultimately decided to plate today by ear and hope that the power gets restored soon.
The authors do acknowledge the inconvenience of being without power for an extended period of time. They even joke about how eating soup for five days in a row might start to get old. However, they're trying to find the silver lining in this situation and are making light of their circumstances. For instance, they realized that their house is dated somewhat cool because it still has its original AC unit, which works quite well despite being outdated.
One of the more significant challenges they face is the limited availability of electricity. They tried to troubleshoot the issue with their LG AC unit but were unsuccessful. They even joked about how much they would have appreciated a portable window AC unit like that if they had gotten one instead of their current setup. Additionally, they learned that their hot water heater uses electricity and will likely run out soon.
The authors are now facing the daunting task of cleaning up after the hurricane. Their town is usually equipped to provide free pickup services for debris left out on the street, but there's a limited time window for this service. Despite not wanting to do this right now, they're determined to get on with it and pick up as much of the bigger stuff as possible.
In an attempt to make cleaning more fun, the authors have devised a creative solution using a "crazy cart" versus a broom versus a skateboard ramp. They've taken a leaf blower, but unfortunately, it's not charged due to the lack of electricity. Instead, they're relying on a makeshift setup involving a generator and some ingenuity.
The authors are getting ready to embark on this challenging task and invite their audience to watch from the sidelines. They acknowledge that this might get a bit messy and are aware that their neighbors may need to navigate through the debris as well. As for the "crazy cart," it's unclear how effective this will be, but they're willing to give it a shot.
The authors appreciate the support of their audience during this challenging time. They acknowledge that their power outage is just one aspect of the broader disaster caused by Hurricane Irma and hope that everyone in their community is staying safe. The writers are grateful for the opportunity to keep their viewers updated on their situation, even if it's not always easy.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys it is currently 10:00 p.m. the same exact day as the last video kind of picking up where it left off I kind of wanted to show you guys a little setup that we have going in here in the house with the generator it's kind of cool I don't know if nothing else that's a way for us to document it as memories we got the generator with the cord running through the garage coming in here and we've got the fridge powered did I ever get my milkshake I didn't and I was going to make one so I opened up the freezer to check on the ice cream and it's all soft while we were gone today visiting Nicole's parents I probably should have just left the generator on but I did it so the fridge went about 24 hours without power and some of the stuff in the freezer melt a little bit I think it's all fine it's just we're gonna have some frostbite on the ice cream then I got some lamps hooked up and we actually made some dinner with this microwave oh boy oh I'm dumb I just tripped over the cord probably not the best place to have it but anyway we have microwave and Nicole actually made herself a smoothie with the blender I'm surprised that little generator that I have I think it's maybe eight thousand five thousand I can't even remember I'll have to go read it all I know is it's powerful enough to power two air conditioners on my race car trailer if I ever wanted to have two air conditioners in it but we're running all that stuff plus in here we have the little AC unit this is where we're gonna sleep since it's a smaller room got a light and some phone chargers unfortunately it sounds like we're gonna be without power for quite a few days possibly even a week we're just toughing it out now if you even want to call it that with all our luxuries we're so fortunate to have a generator I'm really stoked that we brought that from the warehouse but no internet and for whatever reason our cell phone service hasn't been working I don't know if maybe a tower got messed up or something from the hurricane so we'll probably either stay at Nicole's parents or go over there for Internet I don't know we can only do this for a couple days but it's gonna get old eating soup after maybe five days so well I got my milkshake except I think that ice cream wasn't frozen off and this is more like ice cream flavored milk it's now technically day three without power and it's getting to the point where it's not really that much fun anymore and it's starting to get to the part where it's kind of annoying luckily our house is dated somewhat cool because that a/c and that we got it doesn't work yeah I realized last night the rest of the house was actually cooler than the room with that AC unit and a lot quieter so just like a fan pushing a lot of air on whoever's like a foot in front of it I did the troubleshooting you're getting returned sorry LG I don't really know what we're gonna do right now we might go stay at Nicole's parents we're just gonna kind of plate today by ear and hope that they turn the power back on by the way yes I know we probably should have just gotten a window AC unit I just like the idea of that portable one because I thought maybe we'd be able to use it in the racecar trail or two since our air conditioner that doesn't really cool well either but oh hey we realized too that our hot water is gonna run out because we have an electric hot water heater so those of you that may be new to the channel and don't know my sense of humor that well yet it may sound like I complain a lot that's kind of like my sarcastic humor I realized that we got so incredibly lucky here and as you can tell most of the stuff that I'm complaining about I'm laughing and I have a smile on my face so it's not like me really being upset about it I just want to keep you guys updated in a fun way now we are about to tackle this mess one of the cool things is when there's a hurricane or some sort of massive disaster the town's normally have free pickup of all this crap if you leave it out front by the road but there's a limited time window for that so as much as we probably wouldn't prefer to be doing this right now let's actually kind of nice out we're just gonna pick up a lot of the bigger stuff throw it out there and then I have a really fun and cool way that we're gonna clean this ramp typically I've handled the rest of this small stuff with a leaf blower have a really cool electric one but it's not charged and I can't really charge it but I can it's just gonna take a while because I just plugged into the generator I have a way to make sweeping this ramp a little bit more fun than it normally would be I don't know if it's gonna work or not but I'm ready for nickel are you ready for it do you get it at the tailor self-reference what do you think about this idea Nicole we'll give it a shot crazy cart versus broom versus skatepark well maybe you picked the too cluttered area No watch out watch out watch out we're gonna try to get a launch so I'm gonna clear a real nice path for mr. crazy card over here cuz we don't want to get stopped like a skateboard on a stop rock that'd be no fun did you fathom my way get that to my way outta my way riders ready watch the gate if all the elves go in the other direction that were to work great if I was going the other way look at that pile look at that pile she's nuts tucked in like AC thank you guys for watching unfortunately I have to keep cutting the day short because I have to a lot like a massive amount of time to upload just because today I think I'm gonna try to upload on actual hotspot on my phone so hopefully I have enough service for that but it's kind of getting tough with all the Irma stuff just cleaning up to keep making interesting videos I hope you guys enjoyed this one we tried to make it fun for you but tomorrow I think what we're gonna do is just a basic QA we haven't done one in a while so I'm sure there's a lot of questions you guys have for me and Nicole so please comment below if you have any questions you want us to answer about the comments that you want to see us answer that you like agree with with someone else that way we can definitely answer that one but I want to thank you guys so much for all the support we hope you're all safe if you don't have power I hope you guys get power
