I woke up this morning to a nice and cool 4 degrees at the lake! I snapped a picture of the island just as the sun was coming up. Frost covered the trees and the lake is now frozen over. I punched through the ice this afternoon and found that there is already over an inch and a half of ice on the lake and the slough ice is over two inches thick.
I have 2 sides of the cabin chinked now but the cooler temps are putting a damper on my progress. The product I'm using is water based so I need most of the day to be above freezing for the perma-chink to take. Today I have a couple pics of the the chinking progress at the lake cabin.
Finishing the chinking on the cabin before it really gets cold is a must. So I have taken a huge sheet of plastic and enclosed one complete side of the cabin to retain some heat in the sun of the afternoon. That should allow me to finish the job while the air temp. is still below freezing. Today at 2 pm it was 30 degrees outside and under my plastic tent it was a steamy 70 degrees! My final pic today is of my chinking shelter, which will permit me to finish the chinking.
