Snow! And a bit on the house

helwenMade it home from the family farm last night, and after L shoveled for 2 hours this morning, we made it back up into town. Plows of all sorts are out there, keeping busy. I am currently at Elmer's, L is at the farm plowing out emergency access for the house, checking on the boiler, etc. I stuck a protein bar in his hand on the way out from Elmer's so he has at least something in his stomach. He'll have a proper breakfast when he gets back here.
From the way it's coming down, I expect he'll be plowing out at the family farm again later today, at least once.
I managed to get some shelving setup, a bookcase leveled, and a portable shelf into a cabinet before we left our house this morning, as well as putting some things away. Just fiddling on the laptop right now, so figured it was a good time to post.
One of my many projects will be making a magnetic board, as we've found such a surface to be useful. The fridge has a brushed stainless steel front, so we can't use it for that.
We also discovered last night that the dishwasher can't hold our largest plates. We've mostly been hand washing anyway, so those will stay on the hand wash list. The washer is an interesting one... two drawers, so you can use just one and use less water. And yes, we have tried it and it works quite well.
Not sure what all I'll do at the farm today, as I don't think I have much in the way of packing boxes there, and with the snow I don't really want to move a whole lot anyway. Probably will re-organize the back attic a little, to make space for things to come down from the attic. The back attic can be accessed from the back kitchen, so if we don't get everything out of the attic and apartment by end of month, we can at least move stuff to the back attic and be less intrusive as our niece and nephew move in. Hm...and maybe I can do some puttying of screw holes and the like. Yeah, plenty to do :D
