Air temperature was 100 degrees in the shade today; water temperature is 80 degrees two feet under the lake surface. RV A/C running all day / night. Darn the luck, Chree, dogs, and I had to swim both noon and quitting time to cool off. To prepare for swims, took down the top level of pier bracing, tried to remove the corner column blocking (no joy – they will have to be cut out at a later date), filled in around the interior of the shed footers, moved all the “spare” lumber from the shed interior to the stockpile near the RV, and continued leveling the site where the shed underground roof will be poured. Chree insisted that working in today’s extreme heat wasn’t healthy; was too hot to care.
