Spent 6 hours trying to fix a sticky buttercream, turns out my kitchen was too cold

I was making a birthday cake for my sister and the buttercream kept getting lumpy and weird. I kept adding more milk, more sugar, nothing worked. After 5 tries I finally checked the temp in my kitchen and it was 58 degrees because I had the window open. Moved to the dining room where it was warmer and it came together in 10 minutes. Has anyone else had a simple problem like this eat up their whole day?

58 degrees? You had your window open while making buttercream? That's like trying to frost a cake in a refrigerator. No wonder it kept fighting you.
