The relatively mild weather has broken, and it fell to below 0° last night. All of a sudden it's winter. But the house didn't get any colder than usual; it's starting to look like this old house is pretty winter-worthy, even though only half insulated so far.

I quickly shovel the 2 inches of light powder from the driveway, then start on a new house project. The plan is to rearrange the kitchen, putting a better door where the south window is now. So i spend today on prep work - get the sill fabricated and set in place, do preliminary measuring and cutting, and salvage some siding.

I still have insulating to get done, too, but feel the need to construct something - and to take a break from the distasteful tedium of insulating.
