You will NOT have any problem, other than a cold fridge and frozen ice cream, if you come down here and do the gate guard gig with a residential fridge.The Texan wrote:
Had a new rig go in 200 yds west of us yesterday, H&P 468, with their own gate. Now we will get a lot of "lost" souls, as we just did, going to the rig....:B.
We are taking 4-5 days off, starting Tue, as our fridge is dying and we have a new Samsung residential fridge to get installed. Jamie said he would get a temp here for us and we would come back to our same gate, sure hope so.
Had a quick, heavy downpour yesterday, so we are back on waterfront property for a few days. Our frogs did not return though....
How is the residential fridge going to work out there. Are you on 24/7 generator? 50amps?
We replaced our Nevercold with a Samsung and have been very happy with it but we are always on shore power. When we do move we run the gender a couple of hours. Seems to hold temp good. We were afraid we had tricked ourselves out of being able to gate guard.
