mrusk is an unknown quantity at this point
Right now the tempertures are between 30-35 during the day and drop down to 18-20 at night. Currently we have the torpedo heaters running under tents to keep the areas were we are working defrosted. We are in the process of doing 900 face feet of engineered SRW. Job was priced with road base for the reinforced zone. I new this time of year we would never get the right compaction from dirt. We've had a wet fall and things just do not dry out.

With the walls, its just important to not be compacting on top of frozen material.

Once i get these walls up i will sleep better at night. The 2800 sq feet of flat work i have should not be to bad. I can get 600 sq under tent at a time.

I will keep my bedding sand defrosted the way Paul suggested. And i have 2 yards of mason sand in the customers heated garage.
