So, while the month of May had brought the constant rain which set me back a few weeks, July brought lots of HEAT. My wife had bought me a nifty IR thermometer for Father's Day, so when it started getting hot out I checked my patio temperatures.
130 degrees is toasty...
And 140 is really hot...
So, while my pool temperatures soared, it turns out trying to mix mortar and use concrete when its that hot doesn't work. And it didn't matter how many umbrellas or pop-up tents I used. I guess the pool and some Sam Summer will just have to help me wait it out.
Then came a few big thunderstorms that took down a few trees in close proximity to the oven. This is a pic of the first one. A week later the rest of the tree fell. I was beginning to think the trees didn't like my project.
