inJust realized waiting for mortar to set on a cold day adds hours to the clock!
Read an article last week about how cold weather messes with construction schedules. It explained that low temperatures can slow down drying times for almost every material on site. So when your base coat stays soft, of course the whole day gets thrown off. Why do you think project managers lose sleep over weather forecasts? The piece said some teams try to work around it with extra heat or enclosures, but that often just eats into the budget. Really makes you see how a single delay can ripple out and wreck the timeline for everyone involved.
