Step 17.2 - Rain





It's a fact of life that construction generally needs to stop when it rains. The workers are using power tools that are hazardous in wet conditions, and slippery surfaces would make a bad fall more likely.

We've had more than expected rain this year. Most of our rain comes in December and January, and most years the rains stop around the end of February or March. This year we have had 8 days of rain that interfered with work since the project started on Feb. 21. And more rain is expected tomorrow. That's pretty unusual for around here.

When it rains it's important to keep the lumber covered up as much as possible, and even more important to protect the parts of the house that are opened up. Plastic tarps are about the only way to go.
