So, it's a truly wintry day here in Ottawa. This morning it was -38 with the windchill. Frostbite warnings were heard all morning on the radio. And yet, this morning there were guys working at the construction site on our street. Can you imagine having to work in these temperatures?
We were out of town last Friday so we missed the parade of cement trucks all day long, pouring the walls for the "linked" doubles. In an effort to protect the cement from the approaching weekend snowstorm, the cement was covered in tarps.
On Sunday evening, while sitting in our living room, I kept hearing a strange sound. It was intermittent and resembled fireworks. I finally realized the sounds were coming from the construction site. Strong wind gusts were whipping the plastic tarps around. Here's what the site looks like today.
Yes, someone is going to pay well over a million dollars, for each of these places, built in these conditions!
