Wind? NO! We have windows!!! or... How to stay warm in -20? Shovel out the house
It has been a busy couple of weeks, but seems that we are not making much headway. The snow and cold have really slowed progress. However, the windows came this Tuesday and they are slowly being installed. The addition of the front one certainly was welcome to block the wind!
We had a severe snowstorm last Friday that all but shut down Huntsville. A nice opportunity to stay home, decorate the tree and make some calls. The amount of snow did cause some extra work in that the roofers had a lot of shovelling to do before they could start with shingles.
I spent much of my time shovelling out the house- one way to keep warm as the temps dipped to -20. The basement level is sealed in and heat on to keep the frost out until the floor can be poured on Monday. That means we have hydro! They came yesterday after a long delay with lost paperwork and then cleanup after the storm.
On the weekend, after a quiet birthday party, Fred and I uncovered the windows and found a home for some. It is nice to see parts of the old Winoka being re-used.
