After the Ice Jam

This is what the river in our town looks like about 20 minutes after a huge ice jam gives way. We have a video of it and it was really moving fast! Some of the ice chunks were rather large too!

As a side note I just have to brag a bit about being the first to comment on a new post of MckMama's! May not seem like a huge deal to some of you but I found it rather exhilarating!!!

BRRRRR.

This is the inside of my kitchen window. And, yes, the ice is on the inside.

The bright morning sun is starting to melt the ice on this kitchen window but it was completely iced on the inside too. That is what you get with old windows and old walls that are filled with brick. So if you are dreaming of owning an old house just be prepared for what comes with it!

We had the walls in the room beside my kitchen insulated but the foundation needs some help that hasn't happened yet. With a west windchill of -25 it is not what I call warm! It is now up to 62 degrees with a very chilly floor! Just warning you, old houses look good when they belong to someone else!!!!!!

Stay warm!
