I barely recognise that -- we were building the Big Red Shed in '80 so that helps. Most of the coloured buildings are new, as is the wind turbine[1]. And it's not chilly, it's -7 C -- that's nearly shorts-'n'- shirts weather after nine months at -25.

The vapour barrier relates to the insulation which relates to the shed. The purpose of the insulation in the shed is to make it a bit more cosy when out there in the winter.

The references to expeditions are a means of testing that. Begin with two people inside. After a short while, one says that he's going outside and that he may be some time. One would like to know how long that might be, in order to know whether to make two cups of tea or just the one.
