Seems almost everyday in Houston this August, it's 90-95 degrees before 10 or 11 am. The heat has actually slowed and stopped some projects. The flash adhesion is rearing its ugly head and causing double the amount of stain in some case. However I really feel for you northern folks getting cold so early. Just doesn't seem right . "facepalm". Glad to see a few familiar faces. Hang in there everyone.

100's last week.....60's this morning here....I give it to you wood folks, you're a special breed, no doubt.

Yes, May and April was cold ,very windy and rainy . I just stopped 4 ipe jobs not worth the trouble . Now in August ,I already had jobs not drying more because of the condensation forming in the morning . I ran heaters and fans to increase drying which did help but not worth the extra time and expense . It takes a certain personality to stay in the wood business. In April I had enough wood work for 5 employes by May I was down to 3 includes me and stayed there . Good thing I do a lot of washing . I have a load of wood work to do and it keeps coming but I have never had an august where you have to wait till 10/ 11:00 to oil . I have a garappa sunroom floor to do and yesterday after 3 days it was still damp( ran heaters to dry). Enough complaining ......sometimes it's not worth being an expert though ?
