As you are all aware we have not gone south this winter. We purchased our park model and have been busy changing things and getting it arranged to suit us. So far the weather has been pretty good except for one overnight when we woke up to -17.5c. which was pretty cold. After discovering that our water had frozen I went outside to investigate and found that something had nibbled at the insulation around the water line. So out came the hair dryer and I slowly defrosted it and then re wrapped it with insulation.
As for some of the changes we have made, the hedging outside our living room windows have now been removed and we have installed cedar fencing which gives us a better view of the river. As you can see above. We did start to stain the lattice top but stopped as we are not sure if we like the color.
We have also installed the deck along with Susan's new garden box, but we have yet to put the railing up as we have not decided yet how we are going to do it, so we used some pieces of the old fence as a temporary railing.



Here are a couple of pictures after the dump of snow we received, it was about 3 inches. As you can see it is quite picturesque.


Now that the snow has all gone we can now finish off organising the shed and shop so we can start unpacking our storage trailer. That is going to be fun as there are boxes packed up in it that have been packed for 10 years. More about that in the next blog update.
Thats all for now so until next time safe travels and keep warm.
