Here we go again (roofing content)

#protip

Baffles in 2 places (above soffit and at cathedral portions of original construction), giant slot cut in formerly solid preexisting roof where the addition's rafters tie in, ridge vent on 12/12 peak which had been unvented.

Guess I didn't take too many photos, all things considered.

did you beat the next 2 days of rain?!

oooof

[mr.mindless]

Sorta. Chimney is cobbled , new parts are all in the car. Some trimming needed, I remembered right.

Status when leaving this morning - oh, and I may have lost my [only] truck key.

Just a different "medium" and larger scale

Realized last night I have a 60-80hr limit. Was getting pretty bitter.

As a home owner you would.

[mr.mindless]

it's either put the hours in, or pay pay pay.
when it's yours the motivation materializes.

Cleaned up at lunch

Found this in the wash. Fuck yeah!

make another key now.. and you will never loose it again..

[mr.mindless]

I still have a pending airbag recall. doubt I can use any leverage from fucking up my steering recall and aligning on on a bad ball joint and costing me a set of steers - but either way I'll come out of there with a second key if they ever get the damn airbags in stock.

blew owens-corning atticat insulation last night. could not possibly be easier or cleaner. HIGHLY recommend.

Machine was outside on the back patio where I'd had the insulation stacked up. Hose all the way upstairs along with a wireless remote control.

I didn't have full access, it would have been much nicer to get this done just before I was laying sheeting. I'd have been able to do 2 more spaces that are now sealed up, too, but this will still hopefully make a huge difference. I didn't actually measure but I'll be ballpark r50 over the bedroom bathroom and utility closet now instead of maybe r20 before. I couldn't get over the upstairs nor deep into the eaves under the baffles since I was working 12' beyond where I could reach.

How much did you spend on the insulation with the blower? 

[mr.mindless]

$26.38 per bag. Bought 8 and returned 4 of those. Blower deposit was 250, there’s some poorly defined minimum to get the blower for free - I’d need to double check my increasingly fat stack of receipts but I don’t think I paid for anything but the insulation even having only bought 4 bags in the end.

Yeah nothing but deposit and insulation on my receipts. So $106 and like an hour of time. Would be even quicker with a second set of hands to feed the machine, I went downstairs and outside and back ~8 times (1/2 bag at a time is fed).
