Spring has arrived!

Its been a long and very cold winter. I can say though that we made it thru the worst of it fairly intact. The trailer home stood up to the snow and blowing wind and with the wood stove and propane furnace we were able to keep warm. I can certainly say though that if I had not put in the wood stove last year, we would not have faired as well with only the propane furnace. These old homes only have three inch walls, barely any R-value. On days or evenings when I was unable to keep the stove running, the propane furnace ran fairly often and the heat was warm, but not toasty. With the wood stove running though, it was a continuous heat that was often cozy and relaxing. Only when the stronger winds were blowing from the north was it a little cool, but even then if the stove was up to temp, all was good.

The storage shed made it through the winter without any damage or problems. We had alot of snow and it stood up to the weight. I made a point of knocking any large amount off as soon as possible, but even by doing that it seemed capable of handling the weight. It not only stood up to the snow, it also stood up to several wind storms that blew through. The anchors that hold this to the ground stood up to the challenge. Overall, for just being a temporary storage building, I am very impressed with it and happy I bought it.

Now that spring is here, hopefully we will be moving forward with building our new home.
