My lovely wife's response to these pictures was "YUK". Thanks for the updates. Hunker down and try to stay warm friend!

We are good. Plenty of groceries, got heat in the shop, got work to do inside, even got an indoor range set up.

It's pretty impressive to see a barndo with a wooden frame. I probably missed it but is there a barrier between the metal and studs?

It's a different world up here when it comes to metal buildings. Yes. You can get a metal building like a Mueller or Ceco but about 98% of the buildings are post frame (pole barns) like a Morton building. Most of these buildings are "Ag Shops" or "machine sheds" to house tractors, combines, planters, grain trucks, etc. More and more are being used for homes, farm offices, or home shop combos like ours. In our little town (2500 population) there is a post frame truss plant, a lumber yard, and 3 metal suppliers. There are many post frame builders in this area. Most are Amish crews.

Yes. Our building has Tyveck wrapped all the way around it and 6.25" wall insulation in the living area. The shop has a metal ceiling at 16' with R-40 blown in insulation above the ceiling and R25 in the walls.

So, what has your wife cooked on the range?

That trailer load of powdered water looks cool.

Deer chili here in the camper. It is going to get down to 0 tonight. This will be a good test of our winter prepped RV. Underpinned with 1.5" rigid foam insulation with a heater underneath. It's 11 degrees right now outside, 73 inside the camper, and 68 under the camper. I unloaded the trailer yesterday. It's about 1/2 full again. The snow has moved east but the Arctic air is moving in now.
