Home Update : 2025-Dec-23
I’ve been in my place for three weeks now. The fire keeps the space warm and the insulation keeps the heat in. It’s generally been no cooler than 15° in the mornings with just embers in the stove. Outdoor overnight temperatures have been between -10 and -15°.
I’ve finally tackled building a door jam for the shed.
