[TheForge] 5 HP Motors

Bob-

We're up in Upstate NY. Not as bad as Frosty, but compared to "normal" 
winters have been brutal.

As for the house, the walls are supposedly insulated, but the windows are 
definitely sucking a lot of heat out. One of the projects for when the 
money is flowing a little better is to try and get modern windows in there. 
In the meantime we're stuck with what we've got.

To make matters worse, our house was built in 1777, so while it isn't a 
historically registered house, the better half doesn't want anything that 
would scream 20th century, so windows, new siding, etc have to look as 
close to authentic as possible. I'm just hoping I can find vinyl siding 
that doesn't scream machine made sometime before I have to scrape and paint 
this ol' money pit.... I mean this wonderful old Colonial. :-)

Ahh... The joys of home ownership. (And 2 of the coldest winters in the 
last decade or so.)
