Livin' under the Shrink Wrap

Since the first week of November, we put Red October under the "wraps" to block off any ice and snow for the winter.  After it was completed, we told ourselves that it possibly could be a mild winter because we were better prepared this time around.  In fact, it was a mild winter and the wrap ended up serving one purpose instead.  It helped trap most of the heat generated from inside and we were very comfortable.  It also let us enjoy the sundeck, an extra room we didn't use last winter without the shrink wrap.  Because of the extra layer of insulation on top of the sundeck's enclosures, it turned it into a "greenhouse".  It became our favorite room to hang out all winter. That's the positive side of the story, but we had to give up something.  Sadly, we lost the views of the harbor.  It was a smart trade, and we would do it again next winter.
