Alaska "Barn" Raising




Helped an army friend from work build a garage - "barn raising" style this past week. Last week we framed out the walls and this week we put up the trusses. Weather man said the wind chill had been -2 F during the day which made for a cold building effort. Didn't get too many pics since the camera didn't work as well in those temperatures. The snow has melted off our South side yard, but is still 6 inches in drifts on the North side. I've gotten plenty of practice snow shoveling (Landon calls it "snoveling" for short). We still have plenty of daylight during the day - but we're losing about 5 minutes per day. Last year the temps got down to -25 in February, but right now we're seeing a low in the teens and highs in the twenties. I would say that it doesn't feel that cold at all to me yet (except while we were building the garage), but Jolene may differ on that!
