When not working for one of my clients, I spend every spare minute on the River House construction site. I lend assistance to the crew anytime I see an opportunity to help. Most of the time this involves carrying materials or providing an extra set of hands to hold something or keeping the site tidy. When my direct assistance is not needed, I spend time picking concrete remnants, glass, and wood scraps out of the dirt, removing large staples used to attach protection materials to the lumber, caulking and insulating gaps in the framing that will be difficult to reach later. Generally, all the little things that will lead to a better project outcome. Today, my contribution was to build an insulated box to prevent our temporary water supply from freezing when temperatures head south. I was determined to use nothing but scrap lumber. Each side of the box has a sliding window. One to allow access to the spigot and the other to the shut-off valve. The inside is lined with insulation and I will also construct an insulated cover for the exterior. Finally, I will add a thermostatically controlled heating element inside to keep things toasty when the weather gets frosty.
