Once again Paul told me to forget my Morning Walk Around and to concentrate on other things like patching the holes in the Mezzanine Windows. Having the Materials already upstairs made it was easier to get right into the job. That was until Avry came along saying there was a problem that needed my attention.

I’ve written that this building was erected in 1929 and was the former Chrysler Spring Plant here in Windsor. When the Plant was idled and sat empty for Three Years locals used the Windows for target practice destroying many on the lower floors. When Paul took over in 1993 he did a quick fix by covering most of those Windows with Chip Board Panels. Being cheap he didn’t even paint over the exterior which would have made them last much longer. When it comes to Powder Coating metal temperature control is something that has its limits. It can’t be too Hot in the Summer and it certainly cannot be too Cold in the Winter. What happen today was the exterior Window Covering at the Powder Coat Room had actually fallen off the building. Due to the season the old wall had to be put back in place quickly and since Paul is cheap the old wall had to be put back in place.

I made the Metal Brackets in the Compound before layering up to go outside. I was lucky that there was little breeze and the Sun was shining brightly. With Avry’s help we lifted the old wall back in place before propping it with old pipes. Getting the Brackets in place one at a time was a challenge but by the end of the shift the job was completed and solid. Having to take an early lunch I told Kathy there was a chance that I might be late going home but was happy when that wasn’t necessary.

Neither of us were very hungry so we chose to have a Store Bought Thin Crust Chicken Pizza for supper. One thing we learned about having a small Fridge/Freezer in the Trailer was in order to save space we removed the boxes off all of our Frozen Foods and continue that habit in the Apartment. You know your freezer is working well when the Frozen Pizza falls to the floor and breaks in half. Luckily the cellophane kept it clean and it still was tasty.

The 6 o’clock Local News reported another 5 Coronavirus Deaths for the Windsor/Essex Region along with 432 New Cases over the course of the last Three Days.

The Weather Network showed that we only reached a high temperature of 27 F (-3 C) this afternoon but we’ll have a near Springlike Temperature tomorrow before returning to Winter weather on Wednesday.
