Cold Weather Tip...

Tip of all of the rehabbers out there that are like me and think "we live in Florida, it's warm all of the time". When the temperature dips into the 30s-40s at night, you need to think about how that will affect your current rehab project. I can tell you from experience that the number one problem we have is getting dry wall mud to dry. My rehab manager, Alex Sifakis, decided to buy industrial strength space heaters to get the inside of the home up to 80 degrees so that the mud will dry. In some cases, we have seen mud take 4-5x longer to dry than it should in cold weather.

So learn from us, turn the heat on, buy a heater, and get the home warm or you will find your rehab project weeks behind schedule.
