Finally gave in a lit a fire in the shop. Actually BIL did..... HE's out piddling and I am sitting in the house, making a treat for supper. Temps warmed up to 8 or so this morning. Took the Bride to a Doc appointment so I can say I accomplished something today!

 

Yep - - yep - - with ya now. We did this in Guatemala on an outbuilding while building a one story block church. Sure would not use it in Florida. Sand does not make a good ramming material, only good cement. LOL And, it is not impervious to moisture penetration, in fact must have some to preserve itself. It would get a lot of that down here and probably destroy it. Scary. By the time you build the wood forms, do the work and have to put up with the lack of versatility, probably better with adobe or concrete blocks. Mixture reminds me a bit of adobe.

 

You know you love it Lary about 4-6 inches of snow outside it's 25 out now supposed to get down to 2 deg tonight might be chilly.

This cold is giving me a #6 cyl. Misfire no clue why

 

Gentle breeze -37 windchill.

 

WHOA - - - REMINDS ME OF MINNESOTA. BRRRR.

OH MY GOODNESS - - - just looked out the office window - - the sun is out. First time today, but quite chilly out there. Slated for 39 tonight. Just pulled in the orchids and some other tender plants. They groaned and cheered me all the way into the house. Wrapped their arms around me and put a flower up to my nose to smell. They love me. YEH. At least someone does,. YEA. ..............
