Weather report

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

After the very cold weather and two snowfalls, we finally had a couple of days this week that were warm enough to stucco and got the third wall done. Then it started to get colder, so we took a day to finish the foam doorway arch on the last wall.

Yesterday was pretty cold (40s during the day, 20s at night), but today was supposed to be warmer so we set out this morning to start the last wall. It was colder than expected though with the temperature still in the 30s after 10:00…too cold for the stucco (and for me too).

I went to hose down the walls that have been done (something we do a few times a day so that the stucco doesn’t dry too fast and crack) and found that even the water in the hose was frozen solid.

We’ll try again tomorrow.
