Digging in 40 Degrees

Taking a scalpel to a mosaic that is over 10 feet by 12 feet is a daunting task. The floor was exposed to the elements, covered in mud, and dust, and is also damaged by water, and to breaking. I think someone else might be a little more suited for the job, so instead I found that taking a pick ax to uncover a column in 40 degree heat (thats around 100 degrees in Fahrenheit) is a much better way to spend my time. Then again getting a bull dozer to come in is helpful....
