Ya knock 'em down - they grow right back! Yep! That's what happens when the heat goes through the roof and it's NOT because of the indoor activities! This old cabin just plain leaks heat! (Only here and there) We have a GOOD roof! It has tar paper and foam insulation (the solid kind in 1 inch thickness) under all the shingles - under all the snow. The ceiling of planks and log rafters gets warm and the snow melts away, turning into water, running to the edges, making icicles - many icicles. Always. Sharp devils, too. Pretty though!
We would rather have an icicle problem than a loss of power problem. Our gas propane heater will still keep us warm. The BIG scary thing about power loss is to lose it to run the heat tape which keeps the outdoor water pipes from freezing. That WILL happen if we run out of gas for the generator. If the town has no power - no gasoline pump will function - either.
Ah! It is................. W I N T E R
