27 Oct 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.

Need to sort the church audio stuff and get it back into storage. (out of the living room and Bedroom) Then get the stuff I moved from my cave out of the living room.

“If we wish to establish racial equality or gender equality, or equality in any social structure — acknowledge that we can’t pick and choose who gets to be a part of the equality equation. As a humanitarian, before any label that I associate with myself; I hope we recognize that we can only resolve our issues through respect and humility. Through recognizing that it’s not okay to simply “demand” respect whilst belittling an entire culture.” medium.com/in-defense-of-white-people

Narrative: Spent quite a bit of time assessing the insulation for the ductwork. We have 7, 8, 10″ ducts in the attic. The circumference is 3.1415xdiameter but the insulation is 2″ thick. I was given a rough estimate of adding 4″ but that doesn’t account for the diameter. I took a 10″ duct and wrapped insulation around it. The insulation measured 39″ with a loose fit on the duct. Add 4″ for stapling that gives us 43″ for a 10″ duct. None of the pieces i’ve cut so far are the correct length. I have 27″ and 34″ pieces that may have to be used end wise instead of along the duct. 27/4 is close to a 7″ duct but i’ll have to tape the edges.

For 7″ I need insulation measuring 32″, 8″ duct I need 36″, 10″ I need 44″.


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.
