“A good wife is one who can mow the lawn in the summer and put up the storm windows in the winter.”

Uh, sure.   I have always been a lawn-mower, but this house has no storm windows 0r a storm door.  It's on the list.

There's currently a huge gaping hole in the front of my house.  I wish my wood-stove was usable because it's getting mighty chilly up in here.  Soon, there will be two gaping bay window-sized holes.  Brr.  It's window-installation day one.  Yesterday was foiled as day one, it started hailing when the installers got here.

I am hoping the new windows will help weather-proof this place, it is SO drafty.  I hate buying so much oil, and we are blowing through it like water with the heat constantly jacked up.  By jacked up I mean 68 degrees, and it's running to keep it up that high, all the time. 

Next year, I really would like to replace the wood burning stoves with something else, pellets?
