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.
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.
