This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello, it's been a while so here is the latest regarding our new = rebuilding shop... We finally passed inspection for framing, electrical, gas line, etc. = The stucco is complete, the roof is on, and the skylights are installed = and looking good. We are now undergoing the absolute miserable experience of insulation. = R-19 in the walls, and R-30 in the ceiling. Just a few adjectives to = describe this experience: Itchy, Hot, Irritating, Painful, Frustrating, Messy, Dusty, Dangerous. = (Did I mention itchy?) Yes, we're talking fiberglass. I don't know which is worse, breathing = through a mask in the Las Vegas 100 degree heat or the itching. The = walls are finished and the ceiling in the action room and office are = complete, but the main shop is becoming a nightmare. Being a 10' = ceiling makes it a little tricky but the skylights are hell. The sides = of the chutes where the skylights drop between the trusses must be = insulated all around. This has morphed into one of the most frustrating = tasks in the whole project. There isn't enough room in this particular = area to stand, there are deadly nails protruding in the roof from the = shingles so I don't dare lift my head, I have to do a balancing act from = the ladder, and I can't reach around the sides. I have eight to do and = only finished one today. I even managed to drop and break the stapler. = My vocabulary has been very colorful today. We had an estimator out for installing a heat pump and duct work. His = figure: $9,000. Holy moly. Do we have a choice? Not much, gotta have = it in Las Vegas. We were guessing maybe $5K. He says for a cheepee = maybe, but not for someone who is serious about high usage, long life, = and energy efficiency. More to come...
