Getting cold out there...

Winter storm rolling in....

Tonights already gonna be better...

Stopped by and bout some hardwood fire wood befor heading out. What a difference! So far it's burned longer, I also picked up a box of fire starters in case the fire does go out, should make life nicer in the wee hrs of the morning!
It's also getting overcast, expecting some weather in the next few days. But for now, the clouds are keeping the temp above 40!

What a night...

Stayed in the winter rm last night... Great night sleep until the fire died, woke up freezing... Ever try and start a fire @ 3am? Not a fun experiance. Gonna give it a try again tonight, but I'm gonna make a point of getting up a few times to add wood. So, off to work after a three hr nap!

First fire in the stove...

It's a cool one, so I started the first fire in our stove, what can I say, just what we needed! Nice and warm, and no smoke leaks! This is just one more thing for us to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Just in time for thanksgiving...

Put the final touches on the floor, and set the stove this morning...

Moving in to the winter rm.

Set up the desk, and brought in the couch from storage tonight. With luck we'll have the stove set up in the morning
