Overall: not much accomplished with actual construction this week due to cold weather. This project is truly fun every day; until I have to wear lots of layers to stay warm. If this construction project was necessary to pay the bills and feed my family – I would “layer up” and get to work. I’m retired, and this project is how I am beginning this chapter of life, so… not working if it’s extra cold outside. I predicted February would be a slow month for exactly this reason.
Monday: Travel home from the weekend at Daytona, arrived at the Indianapolis airport at 12:30AM. Back home in bed at 1:30AM. Slept in and ran some errands for construction materials. Brief visit to the site to pick up mail, and see that everything was still in place.
Tuesday: Very cold day with a high temp of 20. Worked from home continued effort for kitchen cabinet plan, deck railing sources, and a variety of other tasks.
Wednesday: Terrific… the weather today is colder than Monday or Tuesday. Out to the site to pick up the mail and to measure/check a few things I’ve been working on at home.
Thursday: Groundhog day. A little warmer, allowing me to spend the afternoon at the site, pulling ethernet cable and audio speaker wires.
Friday: A return of bitterly cold weather to end the week. The seven day forecast looks terrific – with unseasonably warm temperatures all next week.
Saturday: The anticipated warm up has yet to manifest locally. Was at the site briefly, then retreated home.
Sunday: Overnight temp was 35 and we got up to 48 degrees ! Kyle and I completed framing the 6 pocket doors in anticipation of calling for drywallers in the near term. Also began work to install the flue pipe for the stand alone wood stove.
