WOW! OLD WOOD FRAME?

Put some bubble wrap on the windows!

And maybe this summer . . . rigid foam panels on the North side 4” worth with block or brick outside of that???

How much in your attic?

BE safe, Bro. And warm somehow!

Wood stove heat or what? Must be electric at those prices.

Wow.

It’s an old brick (1880). 3M wrap on most windows but many, many envelope problems. We’re on natural gas, but stove and water heater is electric. Next year, on-demand water heater and gas stove. Wood stove for primary heat and thermo-loops set up inside.

OTOH, hoar frost is spectacular. Snowshoeing every week. Snow accumulation will yield good ground water recharge. Nursery stock and seed orders in and paid. Orchard had about 40 fruit and nut trees and I have about 1,200 ft^2 in raised beds and 3,600 ft^2 in cleared field behind the barn. I start bees again and plan on a few dozen chickens.

Life is good. God is great. People are crazy.
