As it comes out they want to start on Thursday and finish on Friday.&nbsp; I wanted to be done so I could do something else on Friday but \u2026 Oh well.&nbsp; The project is to add another 6 inches of <strong>ground<\/strong> up <strong>STYRO<\/strong> foam <strong>insulation<\/strong> over the entire attic, fix the vertical portions of the \u201cvaulted and open living room ceiling\u201d and put some more fiberglass on the slopes\u2026 they were afraid to put the <strong>STYRO<\/strong> on the slope as it might slide off\u2026&nbsp;&nbsp; I am using this \u201cnew\u201d <strong>insulation<\/strong> because the company is here in Stillwater and the idea appealed to me.&nbsp; The R factor for the <strong>STYRO<\/strong> is about 5 units pre <strong>inch<\/strong> where fiberglass is usually about 3 to 3.5 per <strong>inch<\/strong>.&nbsp; The <strong>cost<\/strong> is about the same as blown in fiberglass, I am doing some good in using recycled material, it is less dusty than cellulose and I think it will get a little better coverage and fill as opposed to the fiberglass because it will fill in the holes.&nbsp; It also is not supposed to \u201ccompress\u201d or \u201cshrink\u201d as much as the fiberglass does so that will be a benefit and you know as well as I do that when you hold a Styrofoam cup with either hot or cold liquid in it you have a pretty good <strong>insulation<\/strong> there\u2026 It may be a costly experiment but <strong>one<\/strong> that , if it works, will be a cheap investment in total improvement of my attic buffer zone and with another summer coming that looks like last <strong>year<\/strong>\u2026 I <strong>need<\/strong> all that buffer I can get from the heat\u2026 anyway the link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.styroinsulations.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Styro stuff is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With that change in plans I jumped in on some stuff for WORK \u2013 that four letter word that is needed to pay the bills\u2026 I have a&nbsp; half dozen online courses for certification that I have to have done by next week so I got <strong>one<\/strong> this <strong>morning<\/strong> and another this afternoon and am down to 4 that must be finished up.&nbsp; I will get those knocked out by Friday somehow as I <strong>need<\/strong> to also do some research for out coming trip\/audit.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I left for <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> at about the <strong>right<\/strong> time and picked up the wife and we had the same old tired argument, where to go for lunch?&nbsp; The answer is the same old <strong>place<\/strong> we go, nearly every Monday \u2013 Taco Bueno\u2026 but today I changed up my order and went with the Tortilla soup so I could get the Senior drink discount\u2026 not bad as we ended up with a charge of $8.50 for the both of us to have <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> that way and the Soup was pretty good\u2026 although a big spicier than normal?&nbsp; Still not too bad.&nbsp; Strange how Chicken Tortilla Soup is made about a hundred different ways?&nbsp; I have had the creamy style at Macalister&#8217;s to the very liquid stuff at Taco Bueno and everything in-between\u2026 I still like all the different kinds anyway.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Once <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> was over and Sherrie was safe back at work I headed off to the barber shop\u2026 since I had planned to do that Friday because the <strong>insulation<\/strong> guys would have be busy Tues and Wed and I would go see <strong>Dad<\/strong> on Thursday\u2026 but now I guess I will try to go see <strong>Dad<\/strong> <strong>tomorrow<\/strong> and do the <strong>insulation<\/strong> Thursday and Friday so , get the haircut today or wait till next week and my <strong>morning<\/strong> DOO was getting a little out of control, even for me\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>This evening we met with a Tile guy to figure up the <strong>cost<\/strong> of the bathroom \u2013redo I think I have put it in that we want to get some <strong>HEAT<\/strong> under that flooring, we have never really been happy with the way the tile went in and had several little things we <strong>need<\/strong> to get fixed.&nbsp; Once he left I hustled off to the local Ham Club <strong>meeting<\/strong>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>At the <strong>meeting<\/strong> we covered such world news items as who will <strong>help<\/strong> with the Steam tractor <strong>thing<\/strong> in Pawnee the first of May, When the next <strong>meeting<\/strong> will be, when they will get the APRS stuff back so it can be put on the tower (has been in the works now for 3 years)\u2026 and when they will get access to the web page to fix it up (again has been in <strong>need<\/strong> of update for 3 years)\u2026 and a presentation by the local <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Red Cross<\/strong> Disaster Services and Operations Specialist, asking if we (as a group or individually) would be interested in communication assistance for the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Red Cross<\/strong> locally.&nbsp; That ran into all sorts of directions and needs and at present there were more questions than answers but everyone seemed to be willing to <strong>help<\/strong>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>That was the total sum of my daily accomplishments as I left that <strong>meeting<\/strong> later than usual and got home, filled in this write-up and wobbled off to bed\u2026 Tomorrow will be another <strong>day<\/strong> and more exciting things will happen\u2026 just hope most of them are to someone else\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><strong>REX<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a marginal day?&nbsp;
