Ice Storm and Beam Coating

Storm clouds bloated with freezing rain arrived 12/11/08, Thursday night, and after an hour of incredible rain, coated the trees with an inch of ice. Electricity went out in our area and resumed Monday, 12/15/08. This was our weekend to finish sanding and coating the beams. Not Mother Nature's plans. Sanding was finished, but with electric out, it was not warm enough to continue with beam polying. It was nice to note that, even in bitter cold temperatures, the bermed walls of the studio provide for mild temperatures inside. Heating this place inexpensively will be a piece o'cake.
