We are now with heat.

Following the purchase of the wood burning stove, a visit from the chimney sweep and arranging for the insertion of the necessary double lined insert chimney tubing. We have put in 2 chimney liners so that we can have a fire in the salon as well as the one now installed in what will be a dining room.

After the snow and then the heavy rain we now know where the roof leaks are. I always knew I would find a use for all those old plastic bowls I kept "for a rainy day". The replacement of the roof is now on the priority list, together with the new front door and back door. The existing ones don't exactly fit anymore having dropped and warped.

Today the sun is shining in a blue sky following a night of windy rain. Some of the early bulbs are beginning to break through in the pots amoung the pansies.
