I was out fortifying my huts a bit more to keep mine as dry as I could before I wrap with plastic in a few weeks. Interesting that as I'm watching tonight outside temps are in the 30's but in my hut in the middle of all my Christmas lights it's showing a pretty consistent 44 degrees. And the huts are still open air yet.

Tim,

Above freezing, save your electricity. :wink:

I've been making sure my thermocubes are working before the full wrap when I won't be able to see much. Gotta remember this is my first year wintering so it's all new to me. :-)
