Hi everyone! I can't believe I haven't posted anything for over a year! Where did that time go? This winter has been so unbelievable. I live south of Boston and we have been hammered with snow, breaking all kinds of records including lowest temperatures. The other day was around 32 and it felt warm! Today is below zero and wind chill even lower. At least this year with all the blizzards and storms, we did not lose power. The real danger this year is the weight of the snow on the roof. A lot of roofs have collapsed. We hired a roofer to shovel off the snow and thought he would do the ice dams too but he said they were too bad and he couldn't touch them for the price he quoted; then he mentioned a price he would charge and I could probably replace the roof for that so he just shoveled. My grandson came over a couple of times chipping away at ice over my bedroom window in the back of the house. Water was leaking in around the frame of the window and my carpet was wet. I had to keep putting towels down and changing them to dry the carpet. At least, since he chipped out most of that area, the leaks stopped. I think this summer I am going to put my house on the market. It is way too big for one person and it's double duty for my son-in-law and grandsons to take care of their property and mine too. Plus his parents are older than me and live across the street from me so he goes over there to help out too. I am going to add some pictures of our snow for your enjoyment (LOL). Well, I'll add pictures later. Having problems uploading them right now.
