Minus one and windy as holy hell which really ads to things, making the wind chill run about -22 or so. The furnace is running almost constantly.
After the fire a lot of insulation was pulled out of the two bedroom and bathroom walls and the garage door was replaced with a couple of sheets of plywood. Some attic insulation was pulled, also.
If it was a calm 0 degrees things would not be too bad but the wind just peels the heat away almost as fast as it can be generated
As I look around I think that it's pretty amazing how all of the little interlocking pieces make a home efficient, keeps it warm and saves energy. Tear parts of it out and things get pretty inefficient.
I have some sheet plastic I was planning on using for drop cloths and I think that for now I will staple it to the wall studs just to see what happens. As come ancient Chinese philosopher once said, 'Better to light one candle than curse the darkness'.
From what I can see acording to the weather forecasts, today will be the worst of it because the temperature is going to start going up a bit. It will still be well below freezing for a while but this minus crap should go away.
