It’s cold in this house

Well this 3 day weekend to work on the house couldn’t come along soon enough!  We should be able to wrap up the electrical now that the exterior lights arrived and we’ll be ready for insulation.  And none too soon because we just filled our oil tank after one month of using the heat consistently and that was 344 gallons of oil over December – yikes!

We have someone coming today to give us a quote, hopefully they can do the spray foam when it’s this cold out.  If we can’t get it done soon I may be convinced to put up some fiberglass insulation temporarily – anything to keep the breeze down in here 🙂

On a side note – hello winter – we got a raging snow storm this week.  And of course our snowblower wouldn’t start!  So all day Ryan tinkered on and off with it and I shoveled on and off a bit (front walk and bottom of the driveway).  Finally we went and got a new sparkplug and that fixed the problem – we also changed the oil as it needed it.  So by 5pm we were snowblowing the 2 ft of snow that had fallen – not an easy feat!  But alas it was done and now our snowblower is happy again (we hope).

So 3 day weekend here we come, got some old projects to wrap up (wiring) and some new projects (demo the closet) all in prep for insulation.  Hopefully we’ll get a little relaxing time too.  Man my hands are cold – back to work!
