Chris + Lambeau came up to relieve stress level to prevent from going into a shooting rage in the city. Valve next to basement is frozen solid, not sure if it is open or closed. Opened the freezer + was bombarded by the worst smell imaginable. About an hour later the shower turns on. Scared the crap outta me. About 2 hours after that, it was warm enough to take off my coat. Now it is 105 DEGREESYMBOL in the main room and I have to go outside to get more wood.

By the way, toilet is still frozen!!! the outhouse might be less trouble in the winter.

Went to the bar(Jack's) had some beers + played pool w/ some guys from St Clair Shores. Came back + dog was outside. She opened the window + climbed out!! This dog is too smart for her own good.

2 pm Monday the back outside water faucet finally came unfroze + started spraying all over. shut it off quickly enough though. -Chris
