Good morning!!!!

[hawkeye08]

My wife has been watering about 250' of starter bushes along a fence line... she was tired of dragging hoses so I ordered up some dripline and various parts to connect it... Two trips to town (in addition to online ordering) and I still need a PVC fitting. Somehow I got a wrong fitting and think it is right until I went to glue it together last night and it won't fit (glad I dry fit before actually gluing). I had hoped to have it done last night and working, but will drive in after work and get that last fitting...

My wife's cousin is a pipefitter and when visiting them, it was always fun to watch him plan a project and get the parts together. He makes it look so easy. He also knows what is available where I have to search and try and find a combination of fittings to accomplish what I want..

70°F and .11 inches rain

Kekoa on the mend but was a bit out of sorts last night, might have been his pain meds.

Off to clinic today to get my shoulder looked at. Having this pain that comes and goes last few weeks. Probably sleeping on it wrong, but wife wants me to get it looked at. 11:45 appointment kinda dictates the day.

Otherwise, no big plans for the day.

Be safe
Have a great day

75°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 97° today.

Wife tells me the HVAC guy is coming today to finish the new system install. I certainly hope that's true. We're still looking at being around 100° the next three or four days.

Stopped about a mile down the road this morning to capture the sunrise. Was pleasant.

:thumbsup:

RS, that dog had good taste.

Yup ... she was loving that someone had made it so convenient for her ... no having to search the ground, all right there in one big pile ...

My 24x24 with insulation has a 7500 that does great, the uninsulated 16x20 struggles on hot days with one 5000 btu unit.

:thumbsup:

That insulation do make a big difference, don't it ?

Got the MMM moved around back for degreasing and the soil screen frame tipped over on end and moved up to the garage.

Temp was 81F inside by the time I got it closed back up ... both AC are on and set to 70F.

Gonna grab a quick shower and put on some clean clothes and then head back up for some sparky time ...

Drew, RS, and TP. Thanks.

Building is 16x24 will be insulated R-30 ceiling and R-19 walls. But uninsulated concrete floor. Unit I'm looking at is a portable 14,000 btu.

It will freeze meat in there!

maybe he wants to flash freeze chickens! You know, the ones that jailbreak and run for the woods...

Floor will stay cool enough, I'd say 12 to 15k would do it in hot weather. Mine can't get below high 70's when it's really hot out.
It feels good coming in, but once you are there for awhile, it would be nice to be a little cooler.
Put a big fan in there Farmer to move the air, that really helps. I'm sure you know all about fans.

I have mine running now, need to head down to barn to turn it off for the night.
Need to check on fridge to make sure it's still running and gfi hasn't tripped again.

I'd think that size would do it, particularly given the insulation.

I got up here to the shop and the temp had dropped from 81F to 75F ... and probably just as importantly the RH had gone from 34% to 16%.

I shutoff the smaller unit and the temp has climbed back up to 77F ... but I've been welding and the outside temp is now up to 90F.
