Thank you. But I must ask if you really meant 10*F as a good temp. for the freezer? Every recommendation I have seen is to keep the freezer at 0*F for optimum food preservation. Could you clarify, please? I'm a fairly new reader of your blog, and just want to say how much I enjoy it. Great list! Thank you.

We would also put hay bales infront of all the basement windows to keep drafts from blowing up from the basement. We didn't have a working furnace for a few of those years so my mother closed off the upstairs with extra blankets and this big Christmas tapestry we had and we all 'camped out' in the living room around the woodstove. It was actually kind of fun. Winter window drapes of a heavier fabric are also helpful in holding in the heat and keeping out the cold. I lived in a rent house in Wiscassett, Maine that had window shades made of quilted fabric on one side and those shiny emergency blankets on the other.
