This sun thing sure saves a lot of firewood. I hear it may be going on all summer!

Haven't fired the heater since yesterday, just sunshine on the windows (reflected by snow, increasing its power) and whatever heat was stored in the masonry from yesterday.

Apparently going to be -15°C tonight though, so I better get that fire going soon.

Jetzt wird es ernst ⚒️. Die Skizze für die Terrassenüberdachung ist fertig 📐. Werde die noch mit einem Bekannten durchgehen, welcher vom Fach ist. Ich möchte unbedingt die Paneele in das Dach integrieren ☀️.

Die Materialien, Holz für Balken und Edelstahl oder Aluminium für das Gestell, sind nicht gerade günstig, dafür verfügbar - so der Status.

Ich werde hier berichten 👍.
