Chances are, if you’re working on a project in your house, you’ll never consider the weather when starting your project. The weather and timing of starting your project does matter. Inclement weather can impact your project even if that project is indoors. We all know that when you want to lay cement, you shouldn’t do that in the rain because the cement requires a certain amount of dry time before it’s cured. Well, weather can also impact things like drying time for thinset and mortar. If the weather is too humid, then this will likely take more time to dry than if you live in an arid environment. This is also true for adhesives and glues. If you’re going to choose a weekend to install tile, or cement, or adhesives and it’s going to be raining all weekend, you may want to wait it out, or expect that the drying time till it’s completed will likely be much higher than had you done the project on a clear day. This is also true of dry, hot weather. If you want to do some stonework or lay bricks in hot weather, know that you may need to make your mortar a little wetter than normal because as soon as you lay it, the dry weather will make your bricks hotter and dryer and they’ll likely soak up the moisture much faster, which will make them more prone to not stick. If you’re installing wood flooring, the rule of thumb is to keep those boxes inside your home for a week or so, so that they can adjust to the environment within your home. This helps with the settling of those boards once they’re installed. You don’t want your boards to start popping up, cracking or creaking due to expansion simply because you didn’t let them acclimate.
