Well it is cooking once more in Kamloops. I woke up to the voice on the radio promising me 37 degrees today. We reached that by 10 am. I worked on the deck until about noon before I figured it was too damn hot! At that point I cooled off with a nice cool shower before heading out to take Mich for a picnic on campus. I was reminded of Thailand in that while there you just cook in the sun and humidity. The little bungalos that you rent on the beach tend not to have hot water - and that is cool because you get into the shower and couldn’t even imagine using that “H” tap. Now Darren, before you comment with a “cold shower” comment… I was HOT, but not that kind of hot!
Anyway, I felt fine about stopping for the day because the second phase of construction is well underway with the beams and joists all in place. Now I just need to pick up the rest of the decking boards and start sucking stain fumes again!


wow… Kevin all sweaty and hot .. talking about showers .. hands up who needs a cold shower RIGHT NOW! (by the way my hand is down … but not THAT kind of down)

Wow, the blog site seems to be getting a lot of attention now that SOMEBODY is done work for the summer and has time to be distracted from his real job of building a deck!

Damn, nice deck. Now I know who to call for sweat labour at the new house!
