Early mornings I've been organizing myself to tuck point the interior. Soft brick, nothing there. It's very rewarding!

@sulgi I was given a very old house in very bad shape, and I'm trying to shore it up so it can be repaired in the future. 😌

@33MHz how’s that project/house coming along?

@shawn "the cabin" is really just getting started. I'm hopeful that friends will rebuild a wall next month.

@33MHz is it a project that can extend into the winter? I’m always curious the repercussions of frost and cold on construction. Though that might be my Canadian upbringing

@shawn I probably won't work once it's freezing, because I won't want to keep myself warm in the uninsulated house. But it doesn't freeze here until ~Thanksgiving. ☺️ So I have a few months to work…

@shawn Since the roof is mostly protecting the interior from water damage, it's fine for the mortar to freeze and thaw. Although there are a couple leaks in the roof that should really be patched…

@33MHz interesting, I guess it’s a bit of an order of operation thing. Always curious how people come by this institutional knowledge

@shawn I've been around brick all my life, but carpentry/construction just takes some practice.

I could use a heater, if I get ambitious.

@33MHz @shawn you’re doing it on your own?????

@sulgi I have friends who know what they're doing, but, I'm doing some things on my own, yep. 😌
