Freeze-Thaw plus concrete doesn't set up properly under a certain temperature. We won't notice it for a year or two, but then it will start flaking and cracking. That's why you don't see basements poured over the winter either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-41423038669320784062009-02-27T14:40:00.000-07:002009-02-27T14:40:00.000-07:00They've been building a pool in Madison all winter...They've been building a pool in Madison all winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-65109993958264348902009-02-27T09:55:00.000-07:002009-02-27T09:55:00.000-07:00Doh!

It ain't fun, but if I didn't have better work, I'd do it. If there's any stimulus-related work that can be done on this chilly February day, I'll bet we could find folks around here who'd line up to do it.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-91385980446295835102009-02-27T09:40:00.000-07:002009-02-27T09:40:00.000-07:00Road construction in SD generally doesn't begin un...Road construction in SD generally doesn't begin until summer. As you may (or may not) realize Cory, we just got another blast of winter, with 4-8 inches of snow blanketing much of the state. There's even more snow coming today and tonight. This is why you "haven't heard any shovels yet." If you want to go stand outside for an entire day in negative windchills, more power to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
