COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

I'm on my way into town for my weekly shopping, post office trip. I'm all caught up on the goings on here in CDR, and this is my place marker.

Lol, I will call you Oli. I would not like to be called a salad either. In fact when I was young and started working I would tell people over the phone that my name was Carolyn and I was called everything under the sun, even Carrot, and it annoyed me so much that I have now been telling people that my name is Carol ever since.

There are lots of people named Caroline here, you wouldn’t have had any problem here!

I hope so. But I am not a carpenter and don't really have decent tools. But I figure how hard can it be? Just cut the wood into the right sizes, put the insulation panels inside and then insert smaller size panels of wood so that the insulation is in between the wood. Then screw or nail some hinges to a top cover and add plastic flaps by the door. The only problem would be the heating of the box. I looked at the oil heaters and need to see if they need electricity. As I don't want their heat to go if the electricity is out.

Yes I think they will need electricity, I can't think of any heaters that don't unless you use gas/paraffin type but that wouldn't be very safe.
What about buying a large insulated dog kennel to save you the work?
I've been looking at them on Amazon.

Apparently the dog kennels don't work as nicely. And you cannot insulate them. [emoji17]

Yes...the mini oil heaters do need electricity. The “oil” bit is inside the metal chambers and is what gently heats to create the heat of the radiator.

Hi, Alex!!! [emoji173]️[emoji217]

I love him [emoji7]

 

[AZtortMom]

Better than I was but still very sore. I have been warned that it will probably get worse before it gets better and not to panic if it swells or seizes up overnight.

Fingers crossed that it won’t be too bad tomorrow

Oh snap!
Mend well my friend [emoji173]️

Happy Thursday roommates

The one I was looking at was pre insulated and you could do what Linda did with Joes and line it with some thermal wrap, but I don't know how cold your winters get so I could be talking through my hat!

 

[AZtortMom]

Right!!! [emoji23]. Now after reading Mark’s post, I’m wondering if they have nothing but cannibalizing females for babies??? [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

Oh my! [emoji33]

Hi Bee [emoji219][emoji1308]

 

[Maro2Bear]

G’day all..

Prepping for a bit of trip in two weeks... figured that I should make sure all the bits-n-bobs were in the bag!

I’ll keep the destination a surprise...but it’s not local.

Thanks.

We don't go into the negatives. So may be worth a look.

Hi Rue! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️
I love the smile [emoji4]

 

[AZtortMom]

I absolutely love the look on the peacock’s face!
You know that is exactly what would happen in my household [emoji6][emoji1308]
