When it's cold everything takes so much more time and effort. It's -25 farinheit outside at my house. I'm not stripping wire today. Got some home improving to do that I've been putting off. I heat my house with firewood that I cut myself during warm weather. Keeps the house toasty and my cost is my own labour, gas and oil for my chaisaw and fuel for my old pickup. We've got dry dead pine everwhere here thanks to the pine beetle that kills them. Keep warm everyone.
