Cold Spell

I'm home for lunch today. I see that it is currently 8 degrees outside. This week I'm working with some kids from a local high school who are making up time missed for a construction class. We're doing demo in the apartments above my office. We have cut off heat to that part of the building to avoid any possible pipe breaks due to winter setting in, so it's only about 20 degrees up there. Still, we're working hard enough that our respirators are filling with sweat. We leave them upside down when we break for lunch, then we're able to remove the ice that is left when we get back from lunch, thus starting with a dry respirator again.
