Good morning fellows. A frosty 9• here this morning. A toasty 75• inside the house thanks to the Hitzer. Giving the wife a hand moving furniture so she can scrub the carpets today, god I wish it was garden time lol. Snow coming in early tomorrow so I’m sure I’ll be busy plowing. Hopefully Phil gives us a early spring on Tuesday. Well guys have a great weekend!

Mornin'
Freddy, I agree..Brrrrrrr! Hot coffee sounds good. Outside +4*, inside +70*. I fired the 'Chubby' in the basement a couple days ago.....the Herald and Chubby are doing their job keeping us and the water pipes warm. Weatherman says 1 more near "0" night, then, warmer for some snow. Not bad for mid-Winter. Stay warm, healthy, and happy guys/gals.
Cheers

Good morning all. We started the day at 0F, but I see we are up to 6F...that should make the hockey rink feel a whole lot better.
We are getting close to moving back in our house. The carpet was installed in the bedrooms this week, so we can at least get the bedroom furniture put back this weekend. Countertops are coming on Wednesday, and hopefully my gas man can come back late next week to get our new stove fired up. He installed our new 1" gas line this week, so we should have plenty of propane for the new stove and the gas fireplace.
We also got the cardboard off the hardwood floors and the trim all installed in the new dining room. When the project is done I will get some pictures of the finished product, but here are a couple shots to give you an idea of what we have going on.
