Nice work and good to hear from you Lenn, thanks for the pics! Being short, I have the advantage of not having to bend over so far when cutting firewood  ;)   :)

We went through 4.5 tonnes this winter which ended yesterday and the coldest it got down to was 3°C one night.

Jim, I don’t think we turn the heat on till we get a few days in a row around 4-5°C  ;)   :D

15°C and the fire is lit here Nick :)

A top of 15° is a freezing day here, everyone you meet will say "how cold is today huh".......overnight temps of between 6°C - 10C° are the norm.

As I type right now, it’s 12°C and I’m sitting on the couch next to a big open window, feels good after 2-3 months of sweating  :D  Great sleeping weather

32C is a pleasant day, 38C is a warm day and starting to think the AC needs to be on. 45C is a hot day.

And looks like making one would be my only option too!
