Buttoning up for the winter. First snow of the year showed up this morning and we can expect freezing temps through to June.

The Hut has 13 screen windows which aren't all square after all these years, which necessitated cutting 13 plywood plugs of varying size. Sadly, the cold local temps prevented more than a single coat of paint, but I think it'll hold until Spring.

What else are our Tiki fans who are closer to the North Pole than the Equator doing for the winter?

Shot a quick, terrible, video of the final installation. https://youtu.be/5i72izcf9h0 Yes, I missed a board due to the weather. I think it'll handle the winter, and if it doesn't, I'll cut another one in the Spring.

Yes, there's a door missing, it's in the Hut and we'll install it in the Spring.

Everything around here waits until the Spring.
