COLD This is unbelievable! The day the pictures were taken it was -23; last night it went down to -34!!! It does not help me at all when the locals say that it's the worst in 40 years. That does not help the frost coming in the house. No, nada, not on your life, it's a nightmare.

So saying-------it's quite beautiful. Sunny skies, no wind, white, white powder everywhere. Lovely. Now if we could just get back to the balmy weather of -15.

We are having problems in the crawl space. After we talk to the Inspectors I'll give the low down. Right now what the consequence is: frost coming up into the 4 corners, into the drywall!!! I noticed it when I was in the pantry sanding (again as Jody is far too particular)and thought...hmm, this should be dry at the bottom. Not good. It is awful for Bill as he takes it on his shoulders and is using that killer HINDSIGHT. It means more work when we have other things on the go.

But, Gary the neighbour is over tonight to help with some soldering of pipes for the faucet. Yay.

Shrimp in olive oil and butter with a splash of hot peppers and lots of garlic, with Japanese noodles. And probably lots of wine.
