-7 temps on way

[Lightspeed]

Winterization already well under way.

last week:-

watering hose drained and stored indoors

Outside tap stop cock closed and circuit drained.

Backup cold water tank drained

Pressure washer drained

main stop cock (under garden) insulated.

Snow bridges installed around roof perimeter

Gutters given a final clean

finalised glass fibre wool over ceiling insulation ( 32mm) above bedrooms...this was a horrible job as that loft is also the old grain store so has extra strengthening beams above which is a 1" thick tongue and groove floor that's been undisturbed for more than 50 years.... maybe a lot more than 50 years judging by some of the rubbish we removed from the previously uninsulated ceiling layer under it.

.....and most important prep of all, twinkly exterior Christmas lights installed.
