The decorating committee has already floated some porch ideas for the entry. Thankfully I have a while to let things settle before thinking about that.

Now I get back to the FEL search!! :shh:

Glad I kept the stoker burning as we dipped in temps last night and had a dusting of snow / ice. I can feel a difference in the wall temp with the insulation now in place on the outside and the IR temp gauge reading confirms it. At the corner the un-insulated end wall reads 66 and the insulated side wall reads 72 within a two block distance between them.

Perfect reason for getting the FEL now. Think how much easier the job will be if you have 1.

At least that would be the story I would tell.

C'mon, strike now while the iron is hot.
