Winter Configuration

So here's how we're set up for cottaging in the winter. First (and most importantly), the bed moves into the living room right beside the fire. We live in this room, cooking on the wood stove and on a Coleman, we put food in a cooler in the back hall and then close the door so it's not heated. We actually put the food in the cooler to keep it from freezing in this instance. You can see an ice auger in the rafters and we use that to drill a hole and get water through the ice. There are plastic storm windows on the side and back and plastic over the screen on the outer door. All in all it's pretty cozy - even in the -30's.
