Got the next to last step of the solarium done this evening. Trimmed the sharp and jutting edges of beams to reduce and try to eliminate cutting. Then got the foam strips glued in place on all the top beams and even the side beams.
I was afraid the construction adhesive wouldn't go far enough. Then I realized I didn't have to glue the entire length of each strip, only a few spots. After all, as I get the film in place, I'll anchor it with 1x2's and screws.
So, long as the weather cooperates, I can get the film in place tomorrow evening.
Today slightly sucked for work. Still somewhat slow. Plus my work computer locked up for half an hour. I came in at 66 cases. Could have made 70 if not for that half hour. That's on top of having 68 cases yesterday. Two days in a row under 70. I'm not happy.
I was really relieved this evening. There was a light frost last night and I wasn't sure what effect it would have on the plants. Luckily, no noticeable damage. No more frost in the forecast this week. Have to get the solarium functional so I can move the potted tomatoes into it. Plus a few other things.
Mostly, getting the solarium completed to this degree is going to be a relief and something to celebrate! With all the different incarnations leading up to the current construction, I've been working on this for about 4 years now. Each version stronger than the previous before I finally went all out with concrete and 2x4's, OSB and sheathing. So, steps after this will be improvements on something that is basically complete.
I'm finally getting to that point with everything about the house. Yes, I still have holes to patch and so forth but the wiring is mostly done, insulation finally in. Things will go much faster and easier now that the major infrastructure work is done. Learned a lot along the way. I'm sure I'm not done learning yet but basic knowledge is there.
My finger did not get well overnight. This kills me. Cannot recall having a skin infection for this long in my life. It gets better, then gets worse again. However, it is shrinking to a smaller area and closer to the surface. Definitely mostly fungal. If I apply antibacterial ointment on it, it gets worse. If I apply antifungal ointment, it gets better. However, I have to admit the fungal cream burns like crazy for a really long time. Maybe that means it's working? I've had to check and make sure it wasn't doing worse damage. Doesn't appear to be. Less swollen, smaller area of redness, a little less painful. Been trying to dry it out but it's too deep for that. So, just keeping a bandage with antifungal ointment on it all night tonight. See what happens in the morning. Worst thing is, if I went to a doctor, the first thing they would do is give me antibiotics. With the experience so far, I'm convinced that would make it much worse and could end with surgery or even losing my finger.
Besides, I'm not sure what effect antibiotics could have on my intestines.
