Slow autumn days in rural Finland – Getting our cabin ready for winter

In this episode:
Preparing the log cabin for winter
Building a door threshold from an ancient floor board
Tackling our To Do list
Clearing out the yard

Not often does what I say is going to happen in the next video actually happen, but this time it did! 

My floor tile project was put on a little pause, because we have to tackle a lot of unfinished projects around the house and the yard before the snow arrives.

And trying to get anything "finished" here means several side quests: you can't tile the floor if the room gets too cold, but you can't keep any heat in the room if the attic is not closed off, but it's not smart to close the attic off until it's insulated, and we couldn't insulate it before the roof got fixed, and so on. I think that's why so much in here is constantly in a state of unfinishedness.

So having all of these tiny things off the to do-list feels so damn good!

Tonight we're expecting our first night time frost. I wonder if it will stay, cause the seasons often fool us into thinking they're gonna change, but they don't. Annoying! The wet November darkness without frost and snow is always the toughest month for me, so I'm hoping for a quick transition to the snowy season.

See you soon again!
