answer:I’ve worked construction in the Olympia area, and I can verify that “construction” (in broad terms) goes on year round in that area (and in every area of the country that I’ve seen so far, including the Rocky Mountains, Central Wisconsin, New England, Arizona, Florida and points in between). That’s not to say that there won’t be significant weather-related delays, because if you do outdoor construction in Seattle, then you’ll have to plan for a lot of rain-outs during the winter. And if you do heavy construction work in Wisconsin, for example, then you have to plan for equipment movement to and from jobsites during the summer and winter months when the roads are “hard” – moving heavy equipment on public roads during a spring thaw breaks a lot of pavement that you’d be liable for. (And you don’t do much digging in Wisconsin between December and April.) But surely if your husband runs a construction company he knows how to plan for weather? How would Seattle have been built in the first place if no construction company could operate there?
