I woke up to find snow everywhere - a good 6 inches must have fallen through the night and the temperature stayed below zero all day. I was getting low on water in the verandah so I had to hammer my way through the ice in the water butts - the tap was frozen solid. Definitely a good idea it was to fasten the top onto the butts with wing nuts rather than screws.
After the customary chopping of a bucket load of wood to replenish the stocks up here I carried on with the wardrobe. And I'm definitely sick of Brico Depot wood. The horizontals I made out of the left-over demi-chevrons from the roof - those that I bought from the sawmill - but the Brico Depot demi-chevrons I was using for the uprights - they just split and collapsed. It's the sawmill in future for me for my wood.
Much of the wardrobe is done but I ran out of light and so I went into the barn and carried on tidying up the wood that used to be the laths off the barn roof. The long bits or those with decent ends I'm saving at the moment but there are tons of short bits or broken-off bits and so I moved a few bucket-loads of those down to the lean-to where I'm keeping the wood that I'm burning. I'll cut those up tomorrow morning and add them to the pile.
Yes, I can't see me going anywhere tomorrow. I'm properly snowed in here and there's no sign of a snow plough.
