Another thing to remember

Note to self: "You live in CT. It gets cold in the winter. Put something on top of the box blade before you cover it to prevent glacial formations."

Lol, kinda looks like my FEL that I covered beside the garage for the winter, more just to keep the sun off it, what ever that is.

This is something you should only need to experience once to never repeat - Yellow binding straps "tied off" frozen.

If you have ever seen a trucker "artfully" tuck all the straps back on themselves flat, you are watching a guy that has delt with a frozen strap in a knot before.

That's ballast.

I had a boat cover that looked like that one time

Yup, fold and tuck every time. It irritates the snot out of me when someone helps me out and rolls the straps, finished with a knot I usually stop them and tell them I will get it when zi see the roll them.

Ha Ha, Real men don't cover their box blades. Real box blades are men...

Mine has been living outside for about 17 years uncovered. Still works fine and aside from a bit of paint deterioration, is no worse for the wear... I do set it on wood to hold it off the ground though...

You do know water will go straight through the box blade onto the ground without that tarp on there, cut out the Ice dam issue!
