After being assured yesterday that the big winter storm was passing well to the south of us, we awoke this AM to 6 inches of fluffy snow. I had to wait for the plowman to clear my driveway before I could go to work.

Last week I was treated to the sight of a ground hog running around in a surprise snow storm. The temps have not been too cold and the snow melts right away, so I’m sure that the indigenous animals are totally confused.

My new front windows are in with a coat of primer on the outside (too cold for exterior paint yet). THey’ll be finished later in the year. But, they look gorgeous.

I’ve hired the carpenter independently to put up aluminum soffits on the underside of the roof, so I won’t have to worry about peeling paint there any more and it will also improve the air circulation in the attic. Yay!

I hope all this work improves the heating and cooling costs of the house. It’s costing enough! I think we’ve spent a sum equal to the cost of my first home, just on these improvements.

Sounds like you’ve been busy, as usual. You need to talk the husband into solar while the tax rebates are still available.
