In all my years in the building game 

I can’t remember October November December and now January being so mild and wet I’ve still another eight days slating to do on the house 

708 First day back at my paid job and I’ve already a contractor on the phone asking if we will be there to start rendering today

Forecast looks bleak 

Moan over 

Get on with some Framing 

Why do we do it

December

We had a few cold days then, but yes, generally mild.

I started to re-felt our existing garage roof in early December. It will be getting knocked down in a couple of months, so it was just to keep it, and my tools, water-tight until then. It's rained ever since, not had 2 consecutive dry days, so it still needs tarring. 

It’s not great 

One minute a clear sky 

Next minute storms

Really frustrating

 

The sites have being paying Brickies wet time just to try and get them on site

There’s about 30 Brickies out laying where I am Storms forecast for lunchtime 60 mile round trip for two hours work

Sites will keep topping up wages while things are busy  

Last night between 22:00 and 00:00 the temperature increased by 2°C, 5°C t 7°C.

Now it is 9°C.

I like the storms, it gets warmer.

Quickly changing weather is the norm here, we kind of like it I think.

What is interesting is why old people seem to think that demisting their car windows when we go from dry and cold, to wet and warm, is terrifying.

Surely, given the current climate, this can't continue for long?

I think I said that back in November 

 

Our bricklayer managed half a day today.  It looks OK for the rest of the week.

Pretty wet and miserable here today.

So going to have a large lunch, pick up my book, read 3 pages and fall asleep.

 

Every cloud has a silver lining.
