7 December 2020, Remember Pearl Harbor

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.

We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room. I have to run a new duct to the dining room and do a bit of insulating on the ductwork over the living room.

Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.

I weighed in at 220 today, that’s five Lbs over my maximum weight. I will reduce my calories in hopes to drop to 215 this week. 190 would be a great goal.

My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until the end of the month, I should get it around Christmas.

Karen AMI:So white people who celebrate the success of black lives demonstrates the inequity of the black experience and white people who don’t celebrate success of black lives also demonstrate the inequity? I am just trying to keep up here. And I must be a Karen because I don’t see race, I see PEOPLE, fellow human beings instead of a color. You don’t have to attack me, I know, that Not seeing color makes me a racist. And seeing color first makes me a racist too. I know. I am the problem. For sure. It’s a tough gig. The Awkwardness of White Joy. Four days later Shane Paul Neil



Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater is working pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many)

There’s one 7″ vent and two 6″ vents, that’s it for almost two weeks of work. It’s hard to work in the attic when you are 66, believe me!

Checked CF’s website and nothing new was on it. Called them and it went to voice mail so I sent an E-Mail instead.

Read the news to get caught up on some of the current events, but now it’s time to make some lunch. I checked on the solar charger for my four 48V battery banks, it looked good.

Read some more about the election and went to bed.


Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up, I checked the Internet and they were only 2% cleaned up as of yesterday.


Tomorrow: Tuesday

This morning we setup audio for an outside service in a parking lot, it was a bit more walking than I wanted to do. Got home ate some lunch and took a good Nap!

Back to Instacart for groceries, with the COVID infection rates being so high we’re staying home.

Watched The Last Samurai before going to bed.

I didn’t do much in the attic today, resting my foot. (It doesn’t like standing on a 1-7/8″ board.) Spent most of the morning in a meeting about tomorrow’s service. The afternoon was spent getting the stuff out of storage. The evening was used to sort, test and pack for tomorrow.

It’s hard to work in the attic when you are 66, believe me!

I pulled the 10″ and 6″ flexible duct boxes out of the attic and laid them out on the driveway this morning. Then we spent the next hour pulling the 25 feet of 6″ R8 flexible duct inside of the 10″ R8 flexible duct insulation so it wouldn’t loose as much heat. This piece will be used for the two ducts into the small bedrooms. I need one small piece of 6″ so that I can cut-in the vent into the guest bathroom. The longer run over the sewing room will be done first, then the duct into the TV room.

It’s too wet outside to cut hard duct insulation to go around our 8″ duct that runs to the master bedroom. It has to be almost 20 feet long. I decided to try and lay the insulation over the duct which should trap the heat under it.

I bought the supplies I need to do the ducts on the west side of the air handler today. It’s too cold to tear out ducts that I cannot replace in one day. I did pull the 6″ duct from the bathroom and pull a 10″ duct over the top of it to give it some more insulation. It turned out to be a job with the one end of the duct attached. I’ll take temperatures tonight to see if it is better. It should be very cold again tomorrow morning. 🙁

It was cold this morning and it’s going to be even colder tonight! I think that I am ready. I’ve charted the performance looking for any problem that might arise at night when it’s really cold. I’ve also added a 2nd wireless temperature sensor so that I can average Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom temps for thermostat’s decisions. The duct for the Kitchen is still run all the way to my cave and the two small bedrooms have the old ductwork in them.

It is going to be very COLD tonight, I spent some time covering up the water faucets and the water meter. There was an uninsulated duct from the plenum that I finally covered today. I watched the performance of the Heat Pump as the night unfolded, one thing that I was unprepared for was a rapid incline to 100% compressor.

To prevent the Thermostat from switching to Emergency Heat (Gas) I turned on the heaters in the living room (the ones I used while the Ducts were disconnected) and the thermostat relented as shown in the above graphic.

Then I wrote routines in Home Assistant to turn on space heaters 200W at 60%, 500W at 67% and 700W at 75% compressor speed. That way if the heat pump gets a slug of cold air, the space heaters can help. The data collected for the remainder of the night showed that the Heat Pump could easily heat our home.

29 Nov 2020, a day in progress

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.

We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room. I have to run a new duct to the living room and bedroom to give the air handler more flow.

Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.

Church services went pretty well, both of us messed up our parts of the service this morning.

I’ve changed the Air Handler to 1130 CFM to raise the static pressure on the ducts in the bedroom.

Found a couple dogs wandering around the neighborhood, chased their tags for a bit then called Gwinnett County.

28 Nov 2020, a day in progress

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.

We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room. I have to run a new duct to the living room and bedroom to give the air handler more flow.

Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.

I weighed in at 217 today, that’s two Lbs over my maximum weight. I will reduce my calories in hopes to drop to 215 this week. 190 would be a great goal.

My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until the end of the month, I should get it around Christmas.

Karen AMI:So white people who celebrate the success of black lives demonstrates the inequity of the black experience and white people who don’t celebrate success of black lives also demonstrate the inequity? I am just trying to keep up here. And I must be a Karen because I don’t see race, I see PEOPLE, fellow human beings instead of a color. You don’t have to attack me, I know, that Not seeing color makes me a racist. And seeing color first makes me a racist too. I know. I am the problem. For sure. It’s a tough gig.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater worked pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many) There’s one 7″ vent and two 6″ vents, that’s it for almost two weeks of work. It’s hard to work in the attic when you are 66, believe me!

Talked to my brother, my mom is under the weather. Talked to my son and we’re working with his Air Conditioner ducting in his home. My mom called me and i’ll have to call her back.

I gathered up most of the loose 40yr old duct insulation and bagged it during the night. There’s only about half a dozen pieces still in the attic. Most of the metal duct is still up there, but not connected to the air handler. If I can, I need to get all this trash out of the attic as soon as possible. Today has been pretty busy with coordination with my Stepmom and figuring out the ductwork. Best guess at the moment is that i have installed enough ductwork to drop the static pressure below what is needed for the bedroom. Also it looks like we may be starving the evaporator.


Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up.


Tomorrow: Sunday
