Awake: 5:05am Temp 48 Rain throughout the night & day Overnight
@ Nicktown
Drive to the Foote home & start working on the Space Pak @ 8:10am. Today’s
goal: hang the air handler from the roof joists onto Kevin’s newly made
platform. I like this idea: in addition to a possible reduction of noise &
vibration being transmitted, it will be easier to adjust the unit for
height, leveling, & condensation draining. So now we need some supplies:
threaded rods, nuts & washers @ Loews; threaded eye bolts & turnbuckles @
the Tractor Supply.
About an hr later, we continue our work & lift the air handler onto
Kevin’s platform that he made last night….then holes are drilled into that
platform for the threaded rods that will be attached & hung from ceiling
rafters. While I am measuring the threaded rods & begin cutting to length
for adjustment tolerances of 3 inches, Kevin is busy cutting 12” circles
through another wall which will allow the plenum to make a straight run of
maybe 20 or 25 ft. We didn’t make our goal today but progress is steady.
Back to the bus @ 4:40pm.
K & I attend 6:00pm Mass in Nicktown. Back in our motorhome & before
dinner: Betty S. calls from Spangler. She is soon to be 92 & a mother of
my buddy from high school who I keep in touch with. We’ve been trying to
visit her @ the senior center in Spangler but our timing has been off….so
we yak over the phone for close to 30 min.
8:10 dinner: Eggplant parmesan, whole wheat noodles, spaghetti sauce & toast.
Evening movie from satellite: “The Four Feathers.” 1939 A powerful story
of a young man from a military background is branded a coward when he
forsakes military duty for a home & family during time of war. Rejected by
his family, friends & fiancé, he sets out to prove his manhood. I wouldn’t
mind seeing it again…it was so mesmerizing.
High temp=? Lights out: 11:03pm
