Well, Thur is usually my unofficial night to veg but this week it had to be tonight. Had to run get bandaids and a few other things. When I got back it was nearly dark.
Actually, I have less time than I thought after work now to get things done. Sunset is now just after 6:30. Means I'll have to work really fast to get the film up. I think I can do it in that time. But I am going to carry a bunch of supplies up to the roof tonight to save time tomorrow. Maybe drill holes in the 1x2's, also.
Started up the furnace today. Down side of the insulation is that it retains existing temperature. If it gets really cool in the house, the afternoon sun does less to warm the house. For now, until the solarium is set up. For now, the insulation is working well enough that the furnace hasn't run for several hours. Not such a statement now. Be much better if I can keep that true during the winter. Had to get up on the roof and seal off the swamp cooler because most of the eat was just escaping that way. They share the same duct.
Okay, I paused writing to do the tasks mentioned above. Took the film up on the roof. Drilled holes in the 1x2's, took half up to the roof and left half on the ground. However, on reflection it may have been best to leave all but one or two on the ground.
Any way, happy coincidence. I was thinking I probably didn't have enough 1x2's. Thought I had bought 10. Turns out the banded stack was 20. More than enough. Yay!
Hmm. Maybe I should look at receipts better.
Bummer. On further consideration, need to make one more run to Family Dollar for some caulking. Need to apply that to the 1x2's to keep the film more secure. With strong winds, it could still slide and rip where the screws go through. Winds here can be really rough. I want this to last this time.
Paused again to go do that. Got a couple of tubes of silicone caulk. Hope that will be enough.
Did a lot better for work today. I was down by 6 cases for the week. Now I'm ahead 16-18 cases for the week. That's a relief. Hope to jump further ahead tomorrow.
