@Robin Simon of course we keep working thru winter.

She's noted/complained about 2 of the far bedrooms floors 'sloping' and seems to be with the seasons, worse in the winter than in the summer, where they seemingly go back to normal. 

I will try calling on Tue since tomorrow is a holiday. 

For example, we finish the basements with indoor/outdoor carpet (instead of LVP, which makes it feel a lot more homey), because we know parents go nuts in the winter if they can't send the kids downstairs to pay - or have a space for the guys to watch the game on Sunday.

In colder climates, for instance, winter months tend to be slower for real estate transactions, which can impact fix-and-flip timelines, rental demand, and even property values.However, not all markets are created equal when it comes to seasonality.

But our winters are more brown grass season now.

New world holiday, annual market crash day, lol. 

You also have two major holidays coming in the US (Thanksgiving and Christmas and construction will slow down as people take time off).

Lake time in the summer, leaf peeping in the fall, and snowmobile / ski season in the winter.  

Come January there is no hiding things, holiday spending will declare the standing of things, and while not impossible to do, I find it hard to see how they could spin a huge reduction in holiday spending as "economy is a-ok".
