Morning Wood

Load on the clothing and work in the cold. Been framing all winter. Some days are just too cold. Only missed about 5-7 because it was too cold. Missed about that many or more though because it was snowing though. Shoveled out so many times I can't remember.

I've been pretty lucky this year. Have missed a couple of weeks work, but was my choice as to when. Seems like when I get close to finishing an inside job, I pick up another. I start 1,100 sq ft of hardwood on Monday and have a wall to move, some doors to fill in and 1 to open up. 150 foot of tile to lay when I'm done with the hardwood. Should keep me out of trouble for a couple of weeks anyways.

I try to schedule inside work for the winter, but don't have enough for the whole winter, so I watch the weather close and try to slip in outside work when possible

I do interior trim yr. round. Too cold? I yell at the GC for heat. Too hot? I bring fans. The coldest winter I worked outside was the summer I spent at the South Pole. I got off the plane and the wind chill was -121. Talk about shrinkage!!

In my case we are DEAD from Nov. through Jan. so I hit the mountains for a few months (NC mtns) do some skiing, pick up some extra maintenance work from a friend who has a vacation rental co and the pipes bust all the time in the winter up there (used to own a plumbing business), head back to Raleigh in Feb to gear up for spring.

And I know, I know! NC mtns are not anything like out west, but it's only a few hrs from home and I get a place next to the slopes for free, so it works for me!

But, pretty much I shut down for winter right now.

uh huh

If youre gonna live in montana you work when there is work not when the weather is nice.

I am working inside, but if there wasnt anything to do inside i would go outside and work. I dont slow down too much when it is cold. One wall a day. Maybe if youre sitting there whining instead of working.

I have worked in 116 degrees in phoenix. Now i'm in ohio and work in the cold. I'll call it a day at 18. Framing aint for everybody. Never get used to it, just learn to put up with it.

where I am 3 feet of snow on the ground and thirty below If the homeowner don't mind i'll tear the side out of your house I shoveled my last addition out four times just had a backhoe remove the snow form the fifth storm in two weeks but ideally take the winter off if I could afford it but I can't so I don't winter just another season about ten degrees diff from summer

instead of sitting home starving, you can stay occupied while you starve.
