Welcome to the Walk-In Freezer Part II

I poured water into a pan for the chooks, then put a hot pad wrapped in a towel beside it for the night. It was still liquid this morning, albeit absolutely filthy. (This is why my regular waterers have nipples.) Oh well, better dirty water than no water.

I had to unfreeze the nipples again this morning with hot water (heating pad didn't defrost them), but the water inside was still liquid.

I think the chooks will survive. They don't drink after dark anyway, so it's really just an early morning issue (before I get up).

I forgot to take out the trash cans last week, so I had an extremely heavy trash can with two weeks worth of trash. It has wheels so normally I take it down the driveway, but the driveway is basically an ice slide, so I had to lug it down a long, steep flight of snow-covered stairs. Congratulate me, it only spilled once.

My new curtains were worth the absolutely crazy hassle of installing them. They look great, they drape beautifully, they feel nice, they block my obnoxious neighbors' obnoxious motion-activated floodlights, and when you pull them, they keep in the heat.
