January 25, 1963
Fri Sunny 10 below in the am 10 to 0 at night. Wayne didn’t have to go to school David and Clifton went to Middleburg after Chimmney Sweep for the big Chimmney which was full. They cleaned that in the P.M. The water came out of water pipe over kitchen and that had to be fixed. Gerald came home at night. Clifton, the girls and I went to LaVerne's and Roberta's at night.
Comment: Again a frigid day with water leaking from the pipes that froze and were fixed a couple of days ago. Now the chimney is plugged and probably the wood stoves would not work or would fill the house with smoke. I must have come home from Cobleskill Ag & Tech and it must be just about graduation time. This is the chimney in the Hubbard Hill House and it ain't pretty. The chimney is supported by a 2x12 cantilevered support that's resting on a large hand-hewn beam on the 2nd story floor. The picture below is a view to the attic where the hot water heater was and probably where the leaking water pipe is.
