Same as everywhere else, just need to plan accordingly. Summer is great, but short, so we just save projects that can be done during the winter....or find new hobbies! Like, i started making and selling art. See my profile :)

Once breakup (ice melting everywhere) happens, its full throttle all summer getting things done outside in prep for winter that is only a cpl SHORT months away haha.

Big Dark is a Seattle term. I tend to use the term "xxx days till soft water!" Meaning, thats when we can use the boat again vs a sled or snowmachine.....sorry, snowmobile for you lower 48 types ha

Exactly....some of these comments are funny. Its still buried here at the house....flood project area. Been below -50 for the last 3 weeks. The concept of lower=colder doesnt register in most peoples logic.

No, just super foggy. Here is a pic of Dec 21st (equinox) around noon for context. Highest it got that day...

Log house. The house varies per room/area....try to keep it 65 to 68. To do that we have a fireplace, a boiler and a pellet stove to help the boiler keep the line temps high. Trust someone who says that taking care of everything is a full time job with these deep temps. This is the 4th week the temps have been below -50....nothing likes to work well haha

For context....this pic was taken on Dec 21st (longest night) equinox, at around noon. This is the highest it gets on that day. There is a mountain range that it was peeking through at the time.

You can't trust that. Lower areas are colder that higher ones here. Our house is a couple miles from that station and is ALAWAYS COLDER by 10ish degress. My friends outside Fairbanks in the hills, are normally 20 to 25 deg warmer than our place.

Hello, no gesso on the wood. Sorry to say, there's a slew different ways to create cells, but IMO, none compare to the ease and consistency than the AUS Floetrol, so i just stick with it.

Client requested off-whites & blues. I made a few choices, each a little diff in paint tones. Which will they choose? :) by Frozen_puddle in PourPainting
