Winterizing

We survived the snow storms in December! We had to keep the faucets running and the water heater on at all times in the RV and also had to shovel snow off the roof so it wouldn't collapse. When we went to empty our sewer tanks during the first freeze they were, duh, frozen. With help from another RVer at the dump station, we thawed them out with buckets of hot water down the toilet and on the valves.
Progress on the remodel slowed for most of December due to the bad weather and holidays, but now it's starting to pick up again. The furnace was installed the last week in December, so now we have heat! Tom and I are painting windows and hunting down doors and lighting fixtures. Alex, our electrician, installed the new meter and fuse box before Christmas, and just completed installing all the light, outlet and switch boxes yesterday. Chris, Brent & Jeff finished building all the soffits to accommodate the new heating ducts.
For those of you counting, we are now entering month #8 in the RV. I don't think we could have made it this far without our great neighbors. One neighbor gave us their house for two weeks in September, and another one let us use their place over the New Year's holidays.
