Two what?

In the side of our barn are two windows, well, there are two holes anyway. Once they would have brought light in to help see inside the barn, but now we have an electric light in there, so all they bring for us is heat from the summer sun. As Brian is in the process of perfecting his cellar, we have got to the point where we needed to make a quick fix and fill them in, as the weather is now warming up.

Brian took a look at the larger window from outside of the barn and found that there was an old wooden frame inside. That would make the whole thing much easier. So he decided to cut an old piece of board to fit into the opening.

With a few screws, it didn’t take him long to secure it into place.

Now he just needed to fix the small opening. For this he decided to use some polystyrene insulation he had left over from sealing the cellar walls. He approached it from inside the barn, as the roof of the cellar gave him a good platform. It was quite easy to just cut the insulation in place. Voilà.

We’ve already noticed that this little fix is helping the temperature of the cave stay low and more consistent.
