It's windy and freezing out...And I have to go out and work...OUTSIDE... |
|
:cry: I hate it when that happens. This is a house on acreage too, so there will be nothing to break the wind. :( :cry:

1. Last week I was installing siding in the late afternoon; it was cold |
|

but sunny. We were thinking, "Hey. Not too bad." Then the sun dipped below the treeline, the wind picked up, and the "suck" factor increased dramatically. Then it started to snow! At that point I was channeling my dad, whose nickname is Grumpy Bear!

When I was breathing out of my mouth outside, I could feel my throat freezing literally. It's that cold out. :scared:

Down here, you'd be complaining about having to work outside in August.
This morning, it's about 50, cloudy, windy...this weekend, we might drop below freezing and get some rain. ;)

Well, you layer, cover as much of your head as you can and don't stay out more than 20 minutes at a time. Oh yeah, drink plenty of water; you can dehyderate under all that clothing.

12. Bad day to be an appraiser. I hope it's an easy one. |
|
But I must caution you about discussing breaking wind on this board.:+
Stay as warm as you can.

I made it through. The house was a complete square so I didn't have to be out for too long, and the homeowner was helpful! :)
