Brrrrrr, you guys sure are cold.
If you could do a favor. Would really like to see it warm up. We get in Va 01/20 to visit son and family. Not sure shorts and a tee are gonna do it.

As for diesel and propane, both right about $5/gallon here.

It was single digits this AM up here in NYC. Sun is out, have not been out yet. Wife is fast asleep, drugs and our new morning routine. She took a few steps this AM. Ya! Buddy!!! And I booked our flight home for next week. That cheered her up. We need to push and get her physical and mental state to be out of here. The hotel is awesome. They check on us frequently and the location offers all the fast food and sandwich shops one can imagine within a sprinting distance. I even visited a grocery store across the street for Blue Berries and Grapes yesterday AM.

We are ready to come home, it's final count-down now.

Thank you all so much for the positive vibes and prayers! God bless you all.

11F and mostly sunny @ 14:00, windchill -5F. Overnight low was 4F.

Have to take the trash up to the road here in a little bit, which will be fun no doubt.

The Woman spent yesterday cooking after running out to pick up groceries. She made the sausage dumplings and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes ... and entirely on her own origination ... I didn't say anything. She actually made double and gave half to our neighbors up the street. It was delicious.

Spent most of yesterday cleaning and moving junk out of the fish room. Still have a little more stuff to go and then I can start washing down the walls and ceiling and getting really to paint. I dunno what the paint is, that's on it currently ... looks to be almost flat but it might be satin ... and sure could stand to be repainted.

It was recommended to me to repaint the room with mold and mildew resistant paint ... thinking about using Zinsser Perma-White Mold and Mildew-Proof Semi-Gloss from The Depot. Supposedly a paint and primer all in one. I guess at $22/gallon it's reasonably priced. I don't think I'm going to have a moisture problem, as I plan to keep the tanks tightly covered ... but I'd rather be safe than sorry. If anyone has experience with this product feedback would be welcomed.

-4 this morning and it has made it to the forecast high of 20. Forecast has changed for tomorrow. Was our only day above freezing this week. Now that won’t happen till Sunday.

Home with wife and boys. Wife has another stomach bug and wasn’t sure if boys also had it this morning. Looks now like kids may have just been tired. Wife was supposed to go back to work today but hopefully tomorrow.

Winter power bills run $110-150. Plus about 1,000-1,200 gallons of propane. Summer power bills run $200-250. But winter bills also include any block heaters and tank heaters. Also has shop on it so some is for business use. Will change once I get new building completed. Pulling everything off the house and moving to a commercial account.

Drew. Definitely check attic insulation but also make sure the floor is insulated between levels. Especially with you having separate hvac systems.

Rip. Good news.
