Spend most mornings in the attic turning the insulation paper side up and stapling it to the rafters. I figured how to use our red fiberglass ladder to get up. Still more to do but it will be finished in a month. Its cramped and hot and dangerous ( nails protrude from the nailed on asphalt shingles) and I can only spend a hour or so and then want to come down and get shower. I have 4 bays done and maybe 20 to go.
Fathers Day I got a long phone call from Liz and later in the day with Ryan. It made it a very happy Fathers Day. I went to South Austin and visited the Natural Gardener. Spotted some great trellises, trees and even some Pomegranates that might work as a screen down at the bottom of the property. Need to get at least one to see if it can survive down there . They are hardier then bamboo and won't need as much water. Shade clothe is the same price as HD (Handy Dan). Bought some seeds and got some Texas/Mexican Buckeyes. Not the same as the German ones but still a sturdy tree with a three seed pod.
In the afternoon I helped Maggie choose two ceiling fans, weather stripping, Hot water heater blanket, and reostats for the lights. Even got one reostat to work with a two switch light ( 9$ in stead of 5$). It was late and just got the main ceiling fan and light installed before it got too dark to work ( you have to cut off the power when you put up a ceiling fan) Got some dinner and saw the Central Market down in South Austin.
The heat continues............
