Tempted to winterize the cabin

IMG_0290.JPG

Your Scribe visited the cabin recently - at 45 degrees and sunny, who wouldn't?

Here is a photo before the recent storm. There is about 12 inches of snow on the ground, but my snowshoes did the trick.

I wonder if I should winterize, a thought I've had in the past. The walls are winterized but the floor and ceiling (20 feet at its peak), are not.

So I would have to lower the ceiling, which would block my skylight. Or I would have to put stuffing into the ceiling, and then board that up with drywall.

I would have to do the same with the floor. Needless to say, I am not handy enough to either myself.

Then I would still be wondering whether a tiny 720 Jotul could keep the place warm.

That being said, I sure would have liked to have cooked a meal and stayed overnight at the cabin last weekend.
