how sealed up is the cabin?

Hey there folks how are you all doing with this frigid cold weather ? I hope every 1 is staying warm & not getting out in this mess, it's WAY too cold to be DOING anything outdoors, it'll be over soon. I know I can't be out in it very long with the way my immune system is, so what little bit it takes to feed the dogs is all I do & I bundle up really good so I don't get cold & I'm being careful not to fall as well. We still have a good amount of snow on the ground yet, I had to make a walking trail from the cabin to the dog pens & from the dog pens to the trailer & get somewhat of a clearing for the car to move for when the time comes to hopefully get out in a few days. So, with all that said, we're doing alright, we haven't froze just yet we haven't lost power thank god, so all in all we're hanging in there & the answer to how sealed up is the cabin? it's VERY sealed up. I have 2 small heaters going, 1 in the kitchen & 1 here by my comp desk to keep my feet warm & that's it, the big 1 I have, it comes on very seldom, cause the other 2 are doing the job at keeping it warm It stays around 70 through out the day & night it stays nice that even the "snow on the roof" doesn't even melt cause we sealed it up that good, we put heavy thick plastic cover in between the insulation & the wood slats we put on the ceiling incase it DID decide to leak. To tell you JUST how good this place is sealed, it's a lot cheaper power wise than the trailer is by like 200$ in the winter like it is now with as cold as it is & it's down in the single digits at 5 degrees. Remember the mice problem I had in here? that too has been taken care of, with putting metal flashing on the bottom of the walls between the old walls & the new walls & the floor (in a L shape) they haven't found a way back in & with 2 sonic mice sonars in here it keeps them outta here, along with anything else that comes in flies any bugs, so I think it's sealed up like a fort in san Quinton lol. It may have cost a lot to get as far as we have to get it done but after living in here like I was B-4 I got sick to where it is now, it's been WELL worth every penny we have spent on getting it here. We still have to wrap the outside of it & that will REALLY seal it up so yeah this is my little cabin in the woods to make it my 4-ever lifetime home I've always wanted & NOW I have it thank you Lord.
