It's a cold January

It's been a very cold January so far (as you can see from the frost in the pics), which has not allowed us to get much done on the house recently. However, we are pushing on. We were very happy when our electric was finally hooked up recently. We have gotten the whole exterior Tyveked and we installed three windows. We also started staining trim (thanks for the help mom and dad).

But the biggest battle has been keeping it warm inside so the fairly new concrete slab doesn't get too cold and so we can stain. We've got a diesel powered heater that we've been using for this, but it's getting pretty expensive. We'll be glad when we can get our boiler going in a week or so. The next big job will be to put the roof trim and then shingles. We're hoping the plywood on the roof is not iced over too badly so we can work with it.
