This past winter well was the snowiest and coldest, Virginia has seen in at least 15 years. I believe we had over 40 inches of snow; we had about 14 snow days from school. In the month of January we didn't attend one full day of school due to 2-hour delays or cancellations. Luckily we were stocked up with wood, as seen in some of the photos. The woodstove kept us warm and we only had one frozen pipe this winter! Every winter in the past, we have had to deal with the kitchen sink pipe freezing. When the temperatures get below freezing, the pipe under the kitchen floor freezes somewhere. We have tried heat tape, tossing boiling water down the drain and even putting a heater under the sink to see if it would help. But the only thing that really works is for the temperatures to get back above freezing. Oh the joy of doing dishes in the bathtub!
The above photo is Cashton's first time seeing the woodstove at work!
He quickly fell in love with it, just as we have!
