I just don’t like the Wintertide because it makes myself and others know like a complete wimp.
I grew up in the South and it is so hard for myself and others to get through these northern winters. I do my best to adjust to it but have mostly failed. I care about seeing it snow from inside. And the whole white Christmas thing is pretty excellent. But, that’s about as long a my fantastic things about Wintertide list gets. It seems that all I do is hunker down and hope it gets over hastily. I suppose this is hard on our Heating and Air Conditioning unit and it is killing my wallet. Feeding that gas furnace costs a immense amount of money. So, I decided that I would get a bit more proactive in order to save some money. I went through the entire cabin to be sure that all vents were open and unblocked. The Heating and Air Conditioning company even moved the temperature control to a much more centrally situated position. Now, the temperature reading should be far more accurate. My buddy showed myself and others how to unconnect and update the weather stripping. I also sprayed a bunch of that foam insulation around several of the window casings. I have a feeling they weren’t respectfully installed and leak a lot of treated Heating and Air Conditioning air. Then, I spent an day sealing up any gap, crack or hole I could find on the exterior of my home. That included the roof. The efforts were worth it. I know a bit more cozy in my cabin this Wintertide and the utility bill isn’t choking myself and others to death.
