Winter Storm in Sullivan County

AI generated this pic with the description snow falling – they got it right!

Having quite a snow storm this weekend but am grateful as with my 3 days off will send off my tax information, cork the bedroom, and the internet died so had a new modem and router installed.

The Spectrum guy even connected my phone for me!

Received the electric bill for the month and it was a whopping $168. Lowered the mini split to 60, and added another sweater. Also decided this was the weekend to cork the bedroom. Read that cork is an exceptional insulator and definitely not as messy to install. It is more expensive but if I was able to find a reliable contractor to do the insulation work then sheetrock it would probably be the same cost. And since I hate contractors with a passion, cork was the reliable way to go…………

Spent 10 hours in my 8 x 6 bedroom today as I am layering 3 sheets of cork for the outside walls. Cork does not adhere to cork so have to nail the 3 layers to the wall after gluing or stapling the first layer to the wall. It was more of a project than I ever anticipated but if it works my $800 investment will pay off in the next few months.

So if you are in a snowy area..

Get corking!
