I'm not sure what your using for posts and I'm assuming you mean the ground freezes and the posts start to move because the ground can't hold them in place anymore. You should be using 4x4 pressure treated posts and a lot of them depending how big your car port will be. You to dig about 2 foot holes only about 6-8 inches around for each post and then you need to pour concrete in each hole around the post (Note:make sure the post is straight and stays straight).

What are the curly hooks in the silk bag with nylon cord? Thank you

You appear to have a portable or self-assemblable carport structure. You can ask the supplier for details, but at a guess, a spiral or curly metal piece with a hook or eye at one end could be an anchor for screwing into the soil to hold the carport down in the wind. Screw these into the ground at the corners and sides, and attach to the building with the rope.

How do i eliminate moisture from an underground,natural gas galvanized gas line. I have no gas flow to my garage or my 75k garage heater.

Check on the local codes governing gas piping, but it would be my suggestion to consider abandoning the existing line IF you are sure there is a compromise to its integrity allowing water to enter. I would think if water ENTERS...then GAS has to be able to excape. It'd be a lot of condensation that's required to either just block the line or freeze and block the line. If it freezes due to lack of depth, it's going to rupture anyway sooner or later necessitating replacement.

At the above ground location before where it goes subterranean, (after checking the codes), consider installing the appropriate brass fittings to then allow a new underground copper line to be installed by attaching by means of an iron pipe to flare adapter in the appropriate size. Then utilize type L soft roll copper to lay in the new trench to the garage and tie it into the existing line inside the wall. Type L is the thick walled soft tubing and can be used in many locations for gas, whereas Type M soft copper tubing is thin walled tubing for use with water and not gases. Your area may not allow it. That's what building inspectors are for.

Before proceeding, MAKE SURE your line is in fact the problem then double check with a local authority whether or not copper materials are recommended along with brass fittings for the connections. IF the original and suspected problematic gas line is for sure GALVANIZED it is not in any way approved for use with natural gas. It is probably black iron pipe.

Can it be put in a carport year round

Cold weather will not cause problem. The refrigerant stays at gaseous state well below freezing temperature. If i am not mistaken R134 boils at -27 degrees F. below that it would turn liquid but even then it still will not harm the system. Make sure there is no water in the line going to the ice maker and water dispenser because water can freeze and bust the water line.

You will need to pour a substantual footing under your posts
I would suggest using Sonet Tubes of at least 12 inches and 24" deep, setting on at least 8" of 3/4 minus gravel, then fill tubes with a good 5 or 6 bag mix of concrete, once it sets surround the concrete with gravel well tamped, You can install connector plates for your posts in the top of the concrete.
You need to have enough weigh and surface so that the water and soil cannot heave the footing

Won't start when temperture drops around freezing

a combo of issues could be your issues.
Does your area normally drop to freezing?
Battery condition and fluids set to right levels?
Do you have a block heater set on the engine?
You say "around freezing" we talking under or over?
And if your area normally dosent get that low, you will
heave to weatherize your car. are you running water or anti freeze?
in the radiator?.. These hopefully will get you in the right direction

Clothes are still soaking wet after spin cycle and the wash cycle is complete.

Sounds like your bearings have gone in the back of the drum and damaged your water seal. the clay type substance is possibly water mixed with grease.
