[Magdalen] weather/temps...

[Marion Thompson]

The wood stove is in the basement of the old house and keeps it nicely 
warm  because the heat percolates up through that part of the 
structure.  When the weather gets cold, the increasing lack of 
insulation under the new part's floor (critters pulling it down and 
about 1 foot of crawl space for access .....) makes heat loss severe.  I 
wear thermal socks and fleecy slippers.  Maybe I spend too much time at 
the computer : and should do more housework?  Blecch.
