The Last Days of Good Weather
I have been relentlessly plugging away at my home renovation projects before the weather worsens. I have nothing against winter; however, it is the least conducive to outdoor work around the house. Autumn is probably best, weather-wise, but the increasingly shorter days cut into how much I can accomplish in an afternoon or on a day off.
Thankfully, the renovations are going well. The exterior of the pig barn conversion is nearly complete, and I will soon be moving indoors to tackle the building’s interior. I would have been further ahead if I hadn’t focused on a job I had planned to years ago—insulating the walls in the rear portion of the house, which now features a new entrance door.
I have another week or so before the overcast skies, fog, rain, frost, and frigid temps settle in, and I am doing everything I can to make the most of it.
Nevertheless, a part of me is looking forward to the colder, darker days; they will provide a welcome and perhaps much-needed excuse to rest and concentrate on other matters for a while.
