Trese loves the cold

Trese standing by our original fir 5 panel doors. It is quite cold but you can tell she's having fun right?!
The doors are in great shape except that the finish is incredibly brittle. You can scratch the finish off with your finger nail. We are going to strip the doors and stain them a little darker.
Trese is going to be in charge of the doors!
In Mid January John the HVAC guy installed the air handler upstairs in the storage area and we have heat!!! He hasn't finished installing the ducts yet hopefully soon. I need to give him another call.
The system without ducts can take the upstairs from 20 deg to 75 deg in about a 1/2 hour. Must be the insulation!

Wow Dave said that he was going to turn us into the labor union for inhuman working conditions. He is such a pansy. It only dropped to about 4 below zero. Check out our indoor thermometer. It says a wopping 20 deg F.
Yeah we could see our breath. We are so glad that we have put the best insulation we could upstairs. As soon as our HVAC guy finishes installing the system we will have great working conditions upstairs.
In late November we installed a old used pellet stove that we purchase from a lady in Waterville. The stove took awhile to figure out how to keep it lit but we've finally got it down . It is nice to have heat.
In early December we hired Marcos and his crew to come and install drywall! In four days they hung the entire upstairs floor and did the first two coats of mud (tape).
Dave has been a real life saver. He is a very good top coat mudder (if that's what you call it) He is a perfectionist which means great quality but a little slow. I also have learned the art of sheetrock. I know have all the tools to do the job. All that we have left to drywall is the bathroom upstairs and finish mudding the stairway!
