Back of the sofa ?

(Could someone put 50p in the meter for the heating outside ? Phew, wottascorcha wottafreezer.)
It is a tad cool - I got 2 2 kw fan heaters full on
It is currently six degrees in my kitchen/ diner extension.
That's only two degrees warmer than my fridge!
Fortunately the rest of the house is between eighteen and twenty degrees.
Yep, we're about 8 degrees in the workshop again today so it's a tad nippy!
We used to have to leave the heating on 24/7 during cold spells like this were I worked, otherwise it was too cold to spray paint models properly. Also when cnc machining parts, they would change size slightly, which was not good when working to hundreths of a millimeter!
I got VERY cold this morning.
The outside pipes to the fields were (Unsurprisingly) all frozen, so we had to get an outside tap working, then ferry 8 lots of water in a plastic 5 gallon 'drum' up to the fields, so the gee- gees had some water to drink.
About 100 yards, each time, with the full drum in a wheelbarrow........it was uphill, too. X_X (Von did more than half, before anyone asks.) :D
I was surprised that my poor little hands were able to push any putty about once I got back indoors.....They'd gone a pretty blueish colour.)
How do folk even survive in the Arctic ? :o :o :o

They wear the correct kit - especially gloves!
Found it, but empty, of course...
As to the weather/ Getting Guttering around new FLAT flat roofs seemed a good idea...and works fine with Rain. Ice and Snow build-up, maybe not so good...but damned if I'm going to clear them! ;D
And...a cautionary, Very Sad story, for Dog walkers. Recently, a lass was with her much loved dog at a lake with very thick ice. The dog SLIPPED on icy decking and somehow ended up, lost under the ice. A Real Gent...with cold water experience, later recovered and returned the body.
So, be extra careful, even 'NEAR 'water... :( :( :(
Awww......That is a heartbreaking tale. :(
