I (almost) can't wait for winter again now, haha. It'll be lovely and cosy. Although I don't like having it too hot anyway.

Good job done. Looks neat.

@traceyjane4288 That sounds lovely and calming. I can't decide on a colour for the living room. I thought I knew what I wanted, but I have since changed my idea for kitchen colours, and they'd be very similar.

3ft or so. It really depends on how cold it is when it rains. We grow a lot of corn and soybean and moisture year round necessary.

That must be lovely. (Well, it would be for me, as we're not used to getting snow in the south-west of England anymore.)

@@mercerfamily4444 a heavy snow is considered heart attack snow since people have them trying to shovel. Heavy I mean wet. Sometimes the snow is very light and dry. Because it gets so cold the snow can turn into ice and some temps the snow melt does not work. If it well known in advance couple inches to fall over the day with the salt trucks out and near freezing weather it’s fine. The trees look beautiful with the snow on bare limbs. If we get 14 inches in a day it’s a mess. School may be cancelled. Some have to work in it anyway. This past January were meant to have a wake/funeral but it was postponed last minute. Many already en route to the event as people were mostly traveling over an hour, in good weather. People should not have started the drive. We were not meant to join the deceased. Some roads closed meaning people stuck. Fortunately not northeast coast on other side of Great Lakes. They really get the snow. They get feet several weeks in succession. We can have a snow storm on Halloween last of October. Or a snowfall in April. There can be an odd one after that. We can also have a day of 70F in February. Because we are in the middle of hot and cold air systems we get a lot of wind. Cause it can be 20 in the morning and 50 later in the day sometimes the result is wind. Windy City was nicknamed cause of politicians at city hall full of hot air. But we really are windy in weather. Fair few tornadoes and hail storms. Very hot in summer.

@kristinesharp6286 That's really interesting information. Thanks for sharing that 😀 I can't even imagine that much snow! It seems crazy to me to think of. I live on the southwest coast of England, so we can get a lot of bad weather and wind. It always seems to be raining and stormy here. We get down to minus 6 Celsius, but not generally any lower than that anymore. And up to about 30 Celsius when we have a heat wave. It's becoming more and more often this temp in the summer now, though, which I really can't cope with. South East England seems to get the better drier weather, but I do love the west. Ah, I didn't know that was why it's actually called the windy city! So interesting! I love Calamity Jane and always thought it was just super windy.

I wonder why the newspaper?

It didn't even cross my mind that there was no such thing as underlay. I suppose I just grew up with it existing, so I never questioned it. I love getting to learn these little things along the way 😁

Yeah, there is in the UK too, mostly. It has been used here since at least the 80s when I was born, but I'm not sure about before. Lots of people here still don't use it, though, especially landlords. Our old house that we rented didn't have any to save the landlord money.
