The Snow arrived on Sunday night, earlier than predicted and dumped about 10 inches in town. The winds up at Mountainbrook blew the snow around, so who knows the actual amount. We did have several inches inside the house, even after we boarded up the west facing windows.
The day after the snow came the cold, today's high was 4 degrees and the low was -13. Because of the cold temps, nobody can work outside this week and it was even cold in my office in town.
These shots were all taken inside the house. Before it gets above freezing, we will need to shovel the drifts inside the house.
A major priority is to get the gas line put in before the ground freezes. Without gas, we will be shut down for the winter, since the crews won't be able to work without heat inside the building. The sheetrock can't be hung and finished in cold temps. Gary can't twist the wire with gloves on. The gas was supposed to be trenched last week and we now have promises for next week. We also have promises that the insulation will be blown in on Nov. 26. Before that happens, Gary has to finish the electrical rough in, the windows and doors need to be in and the shingles finished. Temps in the 20s and 30s for the next two weeks is all we need.
