36" in Seattle

Re: 36" in Seattle

We're in the upper forties this week, rainy. Not the best outdoor construction weather, but as good as I can hope for this time of year.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Sounds like our weather is similar - mine is just a little colder here in middle TN. I got my footer poured and three block (not three courses) laid before the weather turned sour. The footer is now covered in mud. Oh well, I guess that's why they make shovels. Now if it would just stay above freezing for a few days maybe I could finish that first course of block and climb up out of the mud. Great work!

Sixth course, in progress, not done enough to call "almost done", but whatever... :-)

Thanks TOGNJ, you're always quick with the encouraging comments.

BTW, I just noticed what you do for a living, as per your profile. You should really take a look at my PhD. It's on my website. I think you would find it very interesting.

Cheers!

Re: 36" in Seattle

Six course is done. Seventh course is done minus the last brick, but that brick is cut and ready to go. This was the first course I couldn't clean from the outside. Had to go in through the entry, which was very tight. It's a small oven with a semicircular entry (as opposed to a more rectangular entry). Not easy.

Cheers!

...and merry Christmanakuh.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Yeah, that's not a good thing. Can we say obsessive/compulsive?

...but thank you.

Re: 36" in Seattle

I understand and usually am the OCD type,, But Im not sure if thats different from anal retentive,,,, If you saw the pics of my garage you might agree...

besides OCD makes us happy... so go with it....


Cheers mark

The term anal retentive (also anally retentive), commonly abbreviated to anal, is used conversationally to describe a person with such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, and can be carried out to the detriment of the anal-retentive person. The term derives from Freudian psychoanalysis.

OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder and is diagnosed nearly as often as asthma and diabetes mellitus.[1] In the United States, one in 50 adults has OCD.[2] The phrase "obsessive?compulsive" has become part of the English lexicon, and is often used in an informal or caricatured manner to describe someone who is meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed in a cause, or otherwise fixated on something or someone.[3] Although these signs may be present in OCD, a person who exhibits them does not necessarily have OCD, and may instead have obsessive?compulsive personality

so whatcha think keb, which are we.... they are both very similar.. (please take this with a grain of salt as it IS intended as humor)

Re: 36" in Seattle

Thank you. I fully expect it to make food taste better.

(Otherwise, what's the point?)

Re: 36" in Seattle

Eight course is almost done. Seventh course was the first one I had to clean from the inside. Yeah, that was fun.
