Temps have dropped from 40 to 17 in the last 2 hours.

Freezing rain and 40mph winds.

Another office day for sure.

Stay warm my friends.

I know it is a lot worse elsewhere, but this is not normal here, so excuse my whining.

Well let's see... It's -7 F. now. I have two houses to keep warm by firewood. It's snowed three times in the last three days and I have an 1100' driveway to keep open by shoveling and I'm not whining (much). Now I gotta fix the hole in the roof.

Actually I wouldn't trade it for ...

It just looks so darn pretty out, I wouldn't trade it for a beach-house. Had to come back in and post this live picture of our house.

Beautiful!!

Wow, is that the house you were working on all that time?? Looks so gorgeous, there in the snow!! 🙂

Too bad there isn't a way to keep the snow without the cold. "Yea, I'm BBQing out here in 95º weather in my shorts and flip flops looking at the 12 feet of snow..." Oops...sorry. Hawaii flashbacks!! 😐

Very nice Perry, and the trees will keep the wind down too!! I see all these fancy houses out in the open and on hills and wonder how they stand the wind, or lack of shade in the summer??

Perry, I have a fairly long driveway, about half of yours though, and I have a little tractor for clearing mine. Here is a couple of pictures from our big storm a couple of weeks ago, about 20 inches. The first picture is looking down the road in front of my house, which is drifted in pretty bad. It took me about an hour and a half to clean this out to the main road. The second picture is the drive in front of our house.

Actually ...

the picture I posted is our existing house on 7 ac with a 350' driveway. The new house is on 25 acres and it has a 1100' driveway.

David, looks like some good snow drifting going on. I hate it when you get the driveway cleared and the wind fills it back up.

Perry,

Will you be living in the new house you are building, or are you selling it? I seem to remember you referring to it as a spec house, and around here that generally refers to a house that a builder is building to try to sell on the general market.

Based upon the picture that you have shared, it is coming along very nicely. You should be proud. You are quite the craftsman.

Jimmy

thanks Jimmy,

I might have the new one sold already. To a surveyor's inlaws.
