Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow

It snowed 4 inches Thursday and it's going to snow about the same amount tonight. It's was also about 10 degrees out this morning. Dave said that the plan is to put the foundation forms up on Wednesday and pour on Thursday. In order to offset the longer set time in the cold, they will add calcium chloride to the mix. I've done a little reading on this just to see what the effects of adding this are. Apparently the concrete has the same strength with this as without, it just sets faster.
Let's hope that the weather holds out after tonight so that they can do the work needed later in the week.
