I’m signal-boosting a business with a clever icon. Oh, and tomatoes.

One of the idiosyncrasies of our build is that the outside air is HUMID. That complicates the job. I respect our subcontractor’s tenacity on the job. My instincts tell me that the humid forest air changes wall & ceiling drying. Whitemud Drywalling, keep at it. As the owners of this development, we appreciate your effort. And your desire to do a good job. {{{here is a link to what I posted on Yelp with my REAL NAME}}}.

And yes, that’s indeed what our tradesman looks like. Nice!

An aside (later edit): As a retired science teacher, I understand drywalling involves BOTH physical changes and chemical changes. Humidity affects reaction rates. I used to teach that to my high school students… The university crowd looked at me without a clue. My students who had parents “in the biz” nodded their heads vehemently. If you’d like to learn more, visit ‘this old house’.

our first crop of tomatoes, not grown at a school garden
The plants might have gone kaput. But the tomatoes were nice. Not enough soil. Inconsistent watering. Balcony overheated the plants (especially since the structure gets the afternoon-evening Sun).
