I know I'm going to roll the dice against the weather and get screwed. There's a couple things I need to do before winter. One is install a new pedestrian door on the barn. It's not architecturally consistent with the original construction, but I opted to avail myself of certain technological breakthroughs that have happened upon humankind since like 1800...hinges for example. I did the rough. I just have to slide this heavy-ass pre-hung door I bought into the opening and pop a few nails into it. But it's so warm and stoned in this chair where I'm sitting I cant bring myself to go out into the wind right now or probably any time soon.
I also wanted to tile my front porch in natural stone and build a railing painted in some whimsical pastel color so when people drive by they'll be impressed by how groovy we are. But realistically, that may have to wait until spring.
