The winter is cold and snowy in the mountains of Colorado, so you better hope you get your structure enclosed before there are negative numbers outside.
With the help of an excellent pellet stove, the Mann Sr. Retirement Residence has been fairly pleasant to work in. Almost all of the drywall is done (which leads me to a discussion of mud. Creede is oh so muddy in the spring, but it's not too bad in the winter because the ground is frozen. Unless, of course, you count the tracking in of drywall mud. Grrrrrrrrrrr.)
I digress. RJ purchased an amazing used wood shaper, which has enabled the crew to make some beautiful trim in a much shorter amount of time. It's looking fabulous, though dusty from so much cedar trim sanding. Check out the progress below. T'ill the next time!
