From blizzard to torrential rain in two days. This is the winter we’ve been having.

In the clear time in between, the priority was to clear as much of the snow back as possible, because after the rain comes freeze and thus what is not cleared will be frozen solid.

Also, we wanted to tighten up some of the gaps that still allow weather to intrude. Out of inexperience, our top row of strapping was too low, especially on the low-side wall. This leaves a significant gap for wind and precipitation. We attended to that with some extra boards

Several cans of expanding foam were also pressed into service. At least until one can semi-exploded and got all over me. I shall have to wear the residue on my hand until it wears off.

Add a trip to hardware store for latches and hinges and brooms and shovels and to find out that the insulation we seek is in another castle….

So many little jobs that take time but don’t show unless you look for them

Such is life.
