Winter at PVC & New Roof

Today is 1-18-2020 and we're getting ready for what is to us - cold weather!  Tomorrow it's supposed to get down to 19 degrees, and then it warms up to 40 or so and that's the forecast for the next few days.  Winter is coming!

We're using oil filled radiator type heaters in our cabin and in our trailer and so far everything keeps us nice and toasty.  If it got much cooler, I'd have to plug in some Lasko heaters.

In addition to keeping warm we had to put a "roof cap"  on the trailer that cost us a few $1,000.  The existing rubber roof on the place finally started leaking BAD after 20 years and I couldn't get the leak stopped.  A roof cap is where you lay down 1/2" foam, then 3/8" plywood over the foam and THEN cover all that with aluminum sheet metal.  Works really well and now we can sleep knowing that there are no more leaks!  
Here's what the new roof looks like:
Slick huh?
