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

This is about all I have left of my parents.

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.

Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork.

My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until 15 January 2021, I should get it in February 2021. Boo!

The COVID numbers have gotten really high from Thanksgiving, in fact they are the highest I’ve ever seen them.

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)

Busy day planned today. Checked Childfund and no letters, I am so bummed. I spent the morning cutting out the crossbars from a radiator fan to reduce the drag on the air flowing through the fan. There were numerous complaints about this fan being used to “PUSH” air into a radiator.

They claim poor performance even when the blades are reversed. I didn’t know how many I could remove without affecting the strength of the motor support in the center. I’ll start with three rows, I can take more of them out, but it’s messy with all the pieces flying around.

We drove to the kids house and delivered some presents before eating Chick Fillet outside with them. After getting back to the house I pulled the motor out of the powered vent in the roof so that I could use a DC radiator fan instead. I climbed back into the attic and mounted the 14″ radiator fan underneath the vent. (You can see the screen to the outside through the running fan blades.)

I don’t know if there is more air with this single 14″ or with the two 12″ fans, it’s awfully close when you run the numbers. I might get up into an Eve vent and measure the amount of air entering the attic…

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 pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water. According to CNNCF they anticipate being back to normal by Jan 2021, WOW!

I sent a message to CF asking about our letters we’re missing, they’ve not responded.

Eggs and corned beef hash for breakfast. Had to repair a temporary duct that fallen off the plenum first thing this morning. Vacuumed the floor after traversing the attic, i always end up with pink insulation on my clothes.

Took a long nap, woke up with foreign matter in my mouth though… I need to be more diligent with my eyes, tongue and not eating before sleeping.

Watched the movie “The Last Blockbuster Video” (store) tonight, it was better than I had expected. Lots of good memories and facts to go with them.

Made four eggs and a slab of sausage for breakfast. Church services on Zoom was the next thing we accomplished.

I got up into the attic and installed the second attic fan under my wind turbine roof vent and connected them to a power supply in the garage. The fan is actually a cheap 12″ automobile radiator fan. I looked at several solar attic fans and they were over a hundred bucks. I may look for a higher quality motor, but I wanted to prove the concept first. Wind turbines are not designed to be force air fed, they normally take the air movement across them and pull the air out of the attic. There are two turbines on our roof and one powered vent that the motor bearings are shot. I wanted to improve the airflow and reduce the 130Watts that the powered vent consumes. I also have 600W of solar panels that could easily power a few DC fans to cool the attic.

I can run them on as little as three volts, but they have a good speed at 6V and consume about 2 amps each. (12W) I think the wind turbine vent would spin off the roof with 12V @ 80W of air pushing it! LOL

I weighed in at 222 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.

The heat pump kept up with the demand all evening, I am certain there is a crossover point where we are providing most of the heat by running the compressor. That point appears to be below 30 degrees, our previous unit would go to Emerg Heat at 35 because it was hard coded in the thermostat. I could not find that setting in our current unit so i don’t know how it knows to switch over to gas. (Or if it will.)

Headed to the Post Office to mail a gift and then to the eye doctor. Apparently i have cataracts in both eyes that are getting bigger. Doc says i might need surgery in two years to remove them. Had some ham for lunch and went to bed for a good long nap. I am sleeping longer with scraping my tongue and now with the wipes to improve my tears I may end the drama with my sleeping.

I got the radiator fans in the mail today. (They will be used to push air out of the attic.) I put a power supply on one of them and it runs with only 3 volts!

I had to reverse the blades so that it pushed air from the grille. The motor will run backwards but the blades are curved, they have only one direction. There are two unused wires in the attic, that will do nicely to run all three fans. (I need to find the ends, it wasn’t obvious when I looked for them.) I need to put power pole connectors on it, the wires in the attic are probably unterminated as well. If I use the 12AWG wires I can control them from the garage. Otherwise I’ll have to use the ATTIC fan relay box. The 110V fan motor is siezed and my plan was to replace the motor with DC motors that I can control the speed. (And power consumption.)

Made a trip to THD and got a HEPA air purifier, a new air filter for the Air Handler and a 6″ T that I need for the guest bathroom. There is a terrible amount of dust that has collected in our attic over the years. We have two 12″ wind turbines and one 14″ powered vent that really pushes air. The air purifier senses the dust and ramps up its fan to filter the air automatically. When I am scrambling on the 2x4s and knocking some dust around it will respond very quickly.

Took the wires and speaker stands to the storage facility, I am glad to have them out of my car! I put a air purifier in the attic to knock down the dust and any mold spores floating around. Replaced the rollers in the back porch rolling glass door, that was more difficult than I remember!
