BUSY!!!

I haven't been on here much because we have been so busy prepping!

We have a southern facing window that we are doing a solar heater in like on http://www.theskinnywitch.com/skinny-blog/passive-solar-heating-on-the-cheap I still have to get some black paint for it and then we can have it ready to place in the window. Waiting until it gets very cold. It has been so nice the past week that it has been hard to think about winter and the colder weather, but we have been.

I am taking our car in this Friday to get some stuff done to it. We have been without heat in it for the past 2 winters. We have to find out the problem there and the battery light keeps coming on even though we have a new battery.

Just getting prepared is like a full-time job. We have so much more to do. But , since we are doing it early this winter, it will get done.
