Not sure the temp, but short sleeves and shorts were in order most of the time during the day. All of the out of staters were saying it was so HOT, but the locals thought it was quite cool. That's Arizona for ya.

It was blue skies and 80 or so when we arrived on Thursday about 4:00 pm. It was wonderful!

I work and attend classes at the university, which is part of the reason you don't see me chilling out like in these photos. The other is I lack a trailer, although I've done some experimental work when things were less busy in the summer.

I did effectively rule out EMT for structural framing, except as framing for basically flat panels. Its too pliable. Though I was able to assemble a rounded frame shaped similar to a Bowlus or an Airstream, it lacked sufficient resistance to bending stresses even when an aluminum skin was applied. Definitely need to take it up a notch to something like normal galvanized steel tubing (or GRS, if I try conduit again).
