The Snow is Melting!

• Driveway is showing some dirt, but we couldn't drive up because there was a small blue suv parked at the bridge. We parked at the grassy lane spot. Only sign of a person are footprints going up the road past the barn, so it's probably a hunter?
  
• The roof over the dining room/kitchen is cleared off. Still some ice in the gutters. The doorway was cleared of snow and the 'boys' cleared a path the the mudroom door as well.
• No more dripping inside, although the dining room wall has more water damage showing. I took pictures. We propped up the rug so it would get dry. The blue floor is barely wet under the damp rug.
• The loft is dry. The wall seems dry and the floor and rug are dry so we put that rug back down.
• Oil at barely 1/4. Hope it warms up like it's supposed to this week!
• Huge pile of snow now on the deck from shoveling off the roof.
• We took out the dead security system back up battery so we can get a new one. The alarm started beeping! but as soon as we punched in the code, it stopped and said 'system ready', so all's well there.
• Will try to fix the door/lock system so it's easier to lock on the way out next time.
