We’ve had unbelievably nice weather so far. We just got our first snow on Oct. 22, 2015. It was only about 2 inches, and it melted off by the next day. That’s really late for our first snow of the year. By now, we have usually had several snows. I wonder if that means we’ll have a warm winter, or if we’re going to end up paying for that nice early winter with severe cold and snow storms. Time will tell. At any rate, we have taken advantage of the nice weather by continuing to work on the outside of the house as much as we can. When bad weather hits, we’ll move to the inside and work on that.
We got the deck put up (except for the railing). I guess I knew this, but it’s really big! It wraps around a little more than half the house. There is almost as much square footage on the deck as there is inside the house. That’s a good thing! It will encourage us to spend more time outside.
