Testing the mettle

Yesterday was a good test to see if I could continue working through the winter. It was biting as I left the house at 7:30 to take the boy out to Poolesville for a magnet program test. 21 degrees. I figured that if it warmed up enough I would stop by on the way home and put up more sheathing on the roof. But it warmed up only a couple of degrees by the time I got close to home.

Maybe Starbucks would help? A half hour or so of fortification and I was ready to go. Only 24 degrees, but with the sun shining it really wasn't bad. I am prepared for whatever comes.

More sheathing. I can see that perhaps the roof will be completed.


Later in the day I went back to the cabin for a short while. A light snow was falling, and the roof was not yet on. A missed goal. :-(
But it was beautiful! :-)
