Snow, ice, and frozen septic lines. Widespread shares needed.

No new pix again tonight. I'm wiped. Cough is better, though, so there's that.

We now have the info on the front door. If we order it now, we can have it by early January. That's what his workload is like; he's popular. Also reasonably priced, especially for solid wood. Also half down again, natch. But most of all, I have to worry about the windows and other doors; they'll be coming in within the next two weeks, and we have to pay the full balance at that time.

So, what we need, and badly:

• Shares of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code under 2) at the "Other Ways to Help" link that produces the image shown above;
• Shares of Wings's site; sales are way, way down this holiday season, and this is the time of year that usually gets us (mostly) through the long harsh winters. This year, it's also funding construction. Testimonials help.
• If you're considering commissioning holiday gifts by Wings, now's the time to contact me so I can get your order into his workbench queue.
• One last thing: I mentioned above that the plumbers are coming, and bathroom-fixture purchases are in the offing. To that end, I've added Lowes gift cards to our Amazon wishlist. No, there's no Lowes here in Taos, but there's one an hour-plus away in Española. Less obnoxious than Home Depot, and an actual selection and discount pricing that are not available here in town. It's by far the most cost-efficient way for us to buy the fixtures and appliances and sundry other items needed to make a house habitable.

Thanks to everyone for your help thus far. We are going to need to push through this, hard, fast, and and consistently. Winter is here: Snow, ice, bitter cold, and a septic system that freezes nightly because it was misinstalled all those years ago. Please give us a hand with consistent daily shares to a wide audience.
