Habitat asked me to come in to help with a rare winter group, so I took a shot at working all day in colder weather than I would normally volunteer for. The group was in the industry so didn’t need to be watched especially close and I was able to mostly work on my own. About 5 hours of correcting some structural flaws - windows and outside doors were put in with a solid frame but not a load bearing support on top to support the higher floor. The rest of the day was making sure there was a 2 hour fire barrier between units (I did this all day Friday in the attics, today on the first floor, probably the crawl space next time I’m there).

I think my fire protection is pretty solid now.

Interestingly, my iPhone doesn’t treat ladder climbing as flights of stairs in its measurement. Ladder climbing was most of my ‘training’ today. I managed the cold pretty well and only noticed it my fingers wearing gloves light enough to work in, and to put my finger tips through.
