MnDude45 ,I do wish it was a good time to start. Unfortunately I would need to build a patio at the same time and just don't want to spend that much money at the moment. The commercial/ industrial electric business is very slow currently. I have only worked like 3 months in the last 2.5yrs. So until i can get back in somewhere and work for a stretch of time I will have to put my wants on hold.
Your build is coming together nicely. I can't wait to see it complete.

Looking good. Seeing that makes me miss mine. I have been having thoughts of building a new one again lately.

I promised my grandkids a skating rink this winter so I’m spending this beautiful Saturday putting up the boards.

Sounds good. We will look forward to seeing more progress in the spring.

Must be a MN thing. My stepson lives in White Bear and he floods his backyard with water for the same thing. He played hockey his whole life and it is still in his blood....lol

You have been making good progress. We have some beautiful weather this weekend so maybe you can make some more progress.

If you have four of five course and a plug to go, I'd encourage you to keep going and get the dome done. When you're done working for the day put a work light inside the dome. Cover the dome with a blanket, and cover that with a sheet of poly for wind washing, Then throw a tarp over it and let it go. Each added layer will afford a little more insulative protection through a cold night.
As long as your daytime temps are in the 50s I'd keep working. In the 60s that's bonus! lol!
Obviously, do what you're comfortable with.

Thanks, Mongo! That is reassuring to hear. I was worrying about the plastic over the winter but the moving blanket idea is great. I will definitely use that one.
Based on the feedback from you guys, I feel better about trying to shutdown at a good point and not rushing with the threat of cold weather. I'm now thinking it may be a bigger risk to try to eek out a couple more courses but I should just finish my current course and concentrate on protecting it for the winter. I have to go out of town for the weekend so I picked up a curing blanket from Menards to insulate and wrapped it with a big tarp. We have frost warnings for Friday and Saturday.
The input from the forum members has been invaluable and appreciate all who have given back to the FB community.
