No new posts for a few days, that was due in part to medical appointments but mostly to getting a contractor in to resolve a problem with the windows.

Though the house is insulated we came to find out that the frame around all the windows was not.  Nothing between the window molding and the outside plastic edge of the window. That’s an half inch to three quarter inch gap on the sides and closer to an inch on top.  Add all the gaps around all the windows and that’s a hole seven inches wide and thirty-four inches tall, nothing but a thin piece of wood and a thinner piece of plastic going directly to the outside.  And that’s just the first floor.

With Natural Gas at $2.08 CCF going into this winter, that’s a heat loss I can’t have.   The joys of home ownership.

So here are some Fall photographs from years past.

Great year for fall photos, not a turkey in the bunch…Err?
