Garage Temperature, House still in Drywall mode, Concrete Excitement

I visited the garage Wednesday.  It still needs some work done.  But I was interested in the temperature and whether it had any humidity problems.  We have a Min-Max thermometer there.  The current temperature was 70.3 F  The Max was 71.0 F and the Min was 47.8 F.  I reset it.  I did not see any moisture or feel any.  The earth tubes and umbrella seem to be keeping the garage at a good temperature.  We still need to finish the insulation on the end wall around the garage door, and do drywall and incorporate electric lights.  The garage will have to wait, our main priority is the house at this point.

We continue to continue to mud and sand.  We still have the North wall awaiting the deck installation and the solution to our window leak problems.  We had some signs of humidity in the house and we found that our HVAC contractor cannot install our system until mid August, so we invested in a dehumidifier. For now, any humidity problems are gone.   It is a very pleasant 71 F, and a little hotter upstairs.

On the exciting side, our concrete contractor showed up today.  They started grading for the slab on the North side and setting forms.
