Another cold morning. We use the fireplace most days. On days where I am out running errands we use the thermostat, and if the outside temp in high fifties or about, the windows and screen door is opened (like yesterday, awe, fresh air).
Using the fireplace makes the house more dry, so it is perfect for drying some laundry.
No matter how we're heating the house, if the sun is shining, the front door is open to let the warming sunshine in through the glass door.
So this past month I built 3 floor to ceiling bookshelves, and have plans to do one more in the living room, and a wardrobe in the bedroom. All this is in preparation for baby due at the end of June. Since we are going to use cloth diapers, I am diligently researching and designing a diaper station, diaper bag layout, and everything else that goes with a baby. I guess diapers are a big one in my mind. HA!
Jason has been crazy busy at work so he hasn't been able to work on many of his projects, although, since it is cold out, I've noticed he's been doing more computer and paperwork stuff. We did start our taxes last week, but have yet to wrap that up. Maybe this weekend. Jason did get his lumber, and it has been drying for the past month. He plans to put up his beams mid February, weather permitting. I'm so excited to think he'll have a workshop soon! Okay, well I am also thinking that, finally, I will get my metal roof, front porch, and garden shed not far afterwards, but, now I won't feel so bad. Hehe!
I actually stuck to my grocery budget this month, yay! We are using the old envelope system, which helps me not to overspend, and thus, keeps us on track to pay off our house this year. Mortgage burning party? I think so. Looks like somewhere between August and October depending on whatever life brings us.
