Weathering the Weather on Eglinton Ave West

Working outside on a busy street comes with its challenges. The weather is obviously a big factor and my weather app is constantly being checked. I actually like it when it rains first thing in the morning… it’s easy to make a call! Yup we’re working inside. Yesterday I stayed in all day - we could have worked outside! Ugh… there was a weather warning all day that never materialized!

With each passing day it looks more and more like the work will be moving indoors for the winter season. Thinset and grout don’t like cold wet weather. We are hoping to get a couple more planters done but its very hard to know. I’ll miss the hustle bustle of the busy street. We appreciate the kind words shared by passerbyers and the locals popping by to give words of encouragement. I’ve come to appreciate the personality of this very diverse neighbourhood. Here’s hoping we get a few more warm days that will allow us to complete a few more planters before we shutdown for winter. I’ve added a few pictures of our progress. It’s not the best photography but you get the idea.
