This past winter had been a mild one so far and the snow light. They had not moved into his dream house yet, with no bed to sleep on and no glass in the windows either, he still had plenty to do before it was ready for permanent habitation. With that in mind, for the next week he worked for about five hours a day in his house and when it was warm enough inside, he began to make the floors smooth. By the time spring broke he was busy packing the walls to keep out the dampness and cold drafts. He still had a lot of air coming in around where the roof met the outside walls, it would just take time for him to find them all and fix them.
