Glad I got a couple months' growth on the face now.... Looking forward to inside work for the rest of the winter. One more exterior slider to install next week. Almost happy it didn't arrive today.....

Changing the weekend forecast: seems like the storm is intensifying so as now predicting about a Ft across the South for late Sat through mid-day Sunday (Matt Noyes anyway). Weather Channel has a Blizzard Watch across SoCo!
