Waiting for heat to arrive

It is 6 am on Saturday and Irv is up in CT solo this weekend.  I just checked the weather and it is 28 degrees and there is still not a working furnace in the house.  Ouch he must be cold !!  Hopefully  today the new furnance gets its test run as the plumbers were there yesterday working on it.

Irv did manage to go out one night to a restaurant on Stonington harbor ( he can  actually go out at night because I have Norman the rage dog with me) and took this evening picture.

With the exception of the heating system, he is happy that now both  boats -- Tashtego 1 and Tashtego 2 are now up in CT at their new home.

And much progress has been made on the barn which was missing several windows, missing siding on the back and was in need of repairs on the garage bays due the over zealous chickens pecking the doors. Our British carpenter did a great job.  Here are before and after pictures.

The before...

and after....

Finally our  friends Ken and Kathy will be happy to know that the harpoon they gave Irv has found a home as well.
