I've been winterizing the house, getting ready for snow.
I put plywood on the outside of the basement windows, and caulked it on, there are only two. That will be staying there because when I get the patio door put in, they will be covered by the deck anyway. Now all I'll need to do is fill the cavities with insulation and cover the inside. Maybe today if time allows.
I went around the foundation and filled cracks with insulation, for this year. Next year, I'll fill them with cement. There weren't many, but as long as I have to do the basement way next year, I'll finish off the foundation too.
I'll be wrapping the water pipes down there today. It shouldn't freeze, but ya never know.
I brought all the one gallon paint cans in, from the garage yesterday, and put them in the basement. I still have several 5 gallon buckets of it out there I have to bring in. That's going to require help though. I'll have Shannons son help with it, the next time he comes over. I have an appliance cart to do the long haul part of it, from the garage to the house, but I'm afraid to take it to the basement on my own. I'm afraid it will take off down the steps, without me. They are heavy. I have one sitting at the top of the stairs as we speak. I'd tackle it, if Annette was able to help, but she fractured her bone in her leg a couple of weeks ago and can't get down there.
Oh and I'm still waiting to get the washer hooked up
I haven't seen hide nor hair of the guy that said he'd do it, if I got the stuff.
well I got the stuff, now where is he? 
I've been waiting since two weeks ago.
I've tried finding someone else too, but no luck.
I think I'll have to figure out how to get in the crawl space myself.
I'm rather 'large' though, so if I get stuck......... I'm there for the duration. 
Maybe I could get one of you to bring me a meal now and then, and don't forget the pillow and blanket.
More later
