Sun Dodgers

Summer has definitely set in this week with nothing but high eighties to nineties temperatures forecasted through Friday. Sounds like I’ll be sweating off some pounds this week, well hopefully.

We continued working on sheeting the deck of our driveway structure in the morning. Laying down the plywood really makes it look like we have something built, and it’s nice to be done walking on joists for a while.

As the afternoon sun set in, we switched to working on framing in a floor to tie the existing garage into the first floor of the main residence. The fact that the spot happens to be in some nice shade definitely contributed to our decision to move.

Our foreman is pretty good about trying to schedule tasks to maximize the natural shading that our mountain pine trees provide. We can’t always avoid the direct sun, and quite frankly there are a lot of days that are nice to be out in the sun, but when it’s burning down like this week, and we get a chance to stay in the shade, it’s quite nice.

Today seemed like a quick day, which is always nice on a Monday. I weighed 173 pounds after work.
