Cold house


I may have mentioned the new house. Here it is, after the first round of snowstorms. There are several things about it that don't make any sense, like the rounded "bow house" roof - despite being built in the 70s. Someone had a bit too much fun laminating rafters for that pseudo antique look (and yes, we fell for it!). 




Ice on the inside of the window - that's a bad thing, right? But these faux antique windows...we can't replace them in any reasonably cost-effective manner. Hmm. Guess we'll just keep the blinds down till spring and hope for the best. 




For posterity, here's the whole thing, with snow cover. Actually, there's a lot more snow now... in fact, if you stand in this spot and look up, you can barely see the house at all, just a heap of white:

Try Window World for replacement windows at a really low cost. (That is, if Window World operates in your area.) We had all our bottom floor windows replaced at a great price and it's been a huge difference.
