Overall: The weather this week was more interesting than progress on the build. I am taking a planned weekend trip to Florida.
Monday: Worked by myself for a few hours, pulling ethernet and speaker wire. Ralph showed up for electrical work, but didn’t bring correct clothing for the cold temperatures, so left shortly thereafter.
Tuesday: The sun came out with temps in the 40’s. Kyle and I got siding on the north wall of the shop. The gable end is around 23 feet at the peak and the vertical siding is 10 feet long, so will need to rent a manlift for the next round of siding. We are promised a significant winter storm overnight, with a caveat from the weatherman, that the predictions are calculated guesses, so actual results will vary.
Wednesday: Woke up to find three inches of heavy wet snow on the ground, with snow continuing all morning. Visited the site to clear the mailbox and the thought of working in the house, but was not feeling inspired. Drove back to town instead to shovel snow from dad’s driveway and walkways.
Thursday: A cold start to the day, so spent the morning making phone calls to contractors and scanning receipts. Afternoon was spent picking away at the pre-insulation punch list.
Friday: Departed Bloomington at 4AM for the drive to the Indianapolis airport. Should be a very fun weekend in Florida. Will be attending the 61st Daytona 24 hour endurance race with Travis & Alex. The three of us have watched this event many times on televsion but none of us have ever witnessed the race.
Saturday: At the track all day. We have a close friend who is the team manager for one of the race entries. Walt is responsible for GTD Mercedes Benz Team Korthoff car number 32. They qualified 28th overall and 3rd in class. Alex and I are also excited to see the new BMW prototype (GTP) entries. This will be the first time since 1999 that BMW has participated in GTP.
Sunday: Attending the Daytona 24 hour endurance race. Scheduled to be back in Indiana very late tonite.
