Iain
went to the cottage again on Saturday to work on some more electrical stuff. He put up the outside lights (he didn't take a picture as proof, though, so I'll have to wait to see them). It was really cold to be working outside; it was -12. Fortunately, the cottage interior was holding the heat from the sun, and when he got a little fire going, he was able to warm his hands at least.

| Lots of insulation, now. Also in this picture: the soon-to-be-installed corner shower for the bathroom; the door lockset (we've been using a temporary one); some drywall, which is going in this week; and wood for the ceiling, also probably going in this week. |
The chimney looks good It is near the peak, so we won't have to worry about it getting swept away by ice/snow. You can also see the eavestrough and ice barrier that was installed this week.

| Not much snow, and the lake is mostly free of ice; it has been an odd, warm early winter. |
While Iain worked at the cottage, I did more baking: Gingerbread Men, Orange Wreaths, Peanut Brittle, Almond/Cranberry Bark, Sugarplums. Today, after church, he wrapped gifts while I baked more Gingerbread and Cranberry/Walnut Tarts. Tomorrow I hope to complete the baking, doing a bit more Shortbread and Almond Bark, and possibly more Peanut Brittle. Gosh, I love baking!

Looks awesome! Coming along nicely.
Thanks, Larry! It's amazing to us that so much has been accomplished. The goal is to be able to use it next spring!
