Got some of the holes cut for the insulation. The ones in the kitchen. Looks like the ones for the bedroom will have to wait until the day I am installing insulation. The process threw off a lot more dust than I was counting on. So, I'll have to move the bed and some other items out in the hall before cutting the holes.
On the plus side, it didn't take very long. Plus some awesome news for me. The rafters run all the way through. I was expecting if they did run all the way across, there could be a hump to get over at the center support wall. Not the case.
Knowing the hose is 3", I went a little larger and cut 4" holes to offer more room to maneuver the hose. If too much dust and debris blows back out, I can use a towel to help block it.
I may have the space between two rafters which do not get insulated. No good place to drill a hole. But as long as 90 percent of the spaces get filled, not much of a problem. Though I will keep looking and see if I can find a place to drill for that space.
Luckily, the hole bit I'm using has really deep teeth. Makes cutting through stucco not much of a problem. Though I expect the bit to be worn down to being useless by the time I'm done. That's okay, still cheaper than paying someone and as long as it gets done I'll be well ahead.
Work is still slow. Didn't make my 70 cases today. Only got a little over 60. Not a huge hit but it does impact my income. Still hoping for things to pick up next couple of days. I have some training I need to do, so I can do some of that to gain extra hours. Start on that tomorrow night. At the moment, I only need an hour or two to break even. See what tomorrow brings.
I have made tentative moves toward dating or at least making friends. The first responses I've gotten have gone to remind me of why I stopped. Though I do intend to get out for some events with some different groups on meetup.com in the near future. Maybe to shoot pool or go on some walks. Maybe check out a karaoke group. (Tried that once and the group I encountered was fairly obnoxious to outsiders. Rather not repeat that experience but I'm sure it was just that group.)
