   No gables.. The cottage is square, 20' x 20', with a 4 sided roof   
   that peaks to a point in the middle.

   We can get some wicked storms coming in off of Georgian Bay   
   since there's not much between me and the water to break the   
   wind, a few small trees that don't do much, and being on top of   
   a hill I still get hit pretty directly. The front is actually   
   mostly facing South though so the cold North winds hit the back   
   of the place with only 2 small windows and there are some tall   
   trees 60 ft or so behind me which maybe breaks it up a bit.   
      
   It seems to be getting warmer these days. There are still a few   
   cold nights shown in the long range, like Tuesday and Thursday   
   night this week, but it's easier to heat the place most days and   
   there should be a bigger change over the next couple of weeks most   
   likely..   
      
   I think we are given winter so we appreciate the rest of the   
   year more..   B)
