Its just too cold

The well below freezing temps that we've been experiencing for the past week or so have been downright chilly.  But today's news from the construction site, "Its just too cold."  Evidently, besides the effort to prevent frostbite in the workers, it is simply too cold for the mortar used between the stone on in our interior walls. 
On the one hand, it is frustrating.  On the other hand, I am glad that our builders will not work in this weather.  It makes me feel good about the quality of our house.
Hopefully, the weather will start to warm up soon, and the builders can get on with the house.
Tomorrow, at the very least, is another meeting with the bank about the mortgage.

No new news today.

Our one poor builder who was on the job all day yesterday in the freezing cold called in sick today.  I don't begrudge him.  It is freakin' cold here, and the poor guy had to work all day in the freezing house yesterday.  On the one hand, I would love to have the house done yesterday, but I feel so bad for anyone who has to work in the freezing cold house.
So, that's all for now.  I don't know about tomorrow, but its okay.
