First Snow of 2011

Well, it had to happen.  The good news is that it didn't stick for more than a couple of hours.   

Banjo and I saw the snow up close on our walk

Len and Ross were eager to get the trenches filled in before they filled up with water from either rain or snow.

We have our driveway back - and as mucky as ever

Len also finished doing the first half of the ceiling insulation by moving the scaffold OVER the stairwell behind the fireplace. It was quite the feat of fearless climbing and working at a height as he had to be up 4 levels to reach the highest point.

Good thing a 2X12 is strong

Len spent yesterday getting ready for our first electrical inspection which went well. We were given the go-ahead to insulate all the walls and ceilings as Bob, the inspector, is happy with how Len is wiring the house. Good thing - this morning the house was -4 and our heaters could only keep our loft at 10. A little chilly. The heating guys will be finishing up most of the ducting and as soon as the equipment arrives we will be hooked up to our geo wells. Can't be too soon.
