Good morning!!!!

Drew, I bet those big guns would be fun to fire.... nice big BANGS. Of course I'm talking peacetime.

They sure were, during my Navy days as an FC Rating (FC = gunFire Control). Not those big though, a destroyer's 3"50cal mounting. And yeah, I got to 'pull the trigger' or 'key'.

The smell of cordite is 'intoxicating'.

Good Evening,
Vt, beautiful evening !

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.0C and it's presently 13.5C, partly sunny and calm. There was 12.8mm in the gauge @ 0900 from overnight rain.

My trip to the PO yesterday was successful in that everything that I had on order had arrived at the same time = no extra trips to pick up anything.

Last evening's meeting was fairly quick as many of the others had made 'apologies'. So, those of us there had a lovely meal whilst discussing 'things'. I was home by 1930ish.

Nothing up for today but the day is young.

That's about it, take care all.

Ken you use any cleaning agent for your concrete power washing?

It is so time consuming here, I am looking for an easy out.

Definitely use a "surface cleaner", those heads make a world of difference and shouldn't damage concrete.

Started cleaning up my cabin plans, and ended up spending the day. I haven't caught up yet on todays posts, about 50 behind it seems. Then just as I finished tonight, I'm thinking I might swap the front side, so all water is in a concentrated area. Also, if I do put in basement, stairs will need to come out of Family room space to the right as you go in front door, so would rather make kitchen smaller then the alternative. Plus, I found way to fit the laundry inside, so don't need the ugly box on the back. If I do basement, water heater can go downstairs.
I put SIPs on another layer and shut it off, probably won't do because of the price difference. Actually layed out most of the studs in the walls on another layer I have turned off, not done with that, but that will be helpful when framing. I'm excited about this version.

Nice storm came thru shut us down got parking lot done and 100 feet of walking trail, next time I guess

No rain at the house, son was in a hard rain about 20 minutes south of here when coming home.

Can’t believe Code changed to R49, that’s crazy. Air infiltration is a bigger issue than R value. I might have to look at rafters, didn’t want to go that route. I’m bummed out.

Yesterday My sister said she hid the tractor key so dad couldn’t use it. This is today.
