Frozen!

Woke up to no water this morning. The water pipe supplying the house had frozen through. Luckily it hadn't burst and we were able to defrost it with the help of a hairdryer.  Needless to say we had a quick trip to B&Q to get something to provide a bit more insulation against the minus temperatures that are forecast for this week.

Snug!!

New windows. 
After about 10 years of single glazed windows we decided that double glazing was the future.  After much deliberation we decided on a local company, David Brunskills from Keighley.  From start to finish they've been excellent.  From the sales person to the surveyor and the fitter they have all delivered.  And now we have a toasty warm house, less drafts and judging by the last few days lower heating bills, even though it was -7 degrees last night.  We've also fitted extra stuff to the front door to get rid of the drafts that we have started to notice coming through the front door.

Old drafty and full of condensation windows.
Will take some pics of the new windows when it's not dark.

Snow!

Woke up to snow this morning (as forecasted.)  Looks like more is on it's way next week.
