Two hours on my back in the rental home's attic, putting in more radiant foil insulation. The best part is when I'm resting my butt & shoulder blades on one truss, balancing with my feet on adjacent ones, and stapling overhead. Pull up, shift over two, straighten out the foil, staple some more, and don't fall through the ceiling drywall. We're about 80% done. The nice thing about installing foil is that the attic was noticeably cooler when we finished today's increment. Between the foil and the new solar vent fans we've dropped the temps about 20 degrees.
Minor landscaping and other tweaking to come. Our ads go online tomorrow night and the tenants move out this weekend (ahead of schedule). We might have this place rented before the end of the month...
Our kid recently finished the entire Kumon math curriculum-- all 16 levels-- by doing 20 minutes a day almost every day since spring of 1998. (The worksheets would stack up over ten feet tall.) Her center threw an awards ceremony this afternoon with a plaque presented by the head of Kumon North America. We were asked to show up this afternoon with him and the head of Kumon Hawaii, totally ambushing our kid. She's the first one in Hawaii to complete the math curriculum and the fourth nationwide. It was worth every penny of the $9955.46 total monthly payments over the last decade just to see the look on her face...
5:30 PM, dinner carbs just slammed into my brain, every muscle in my body has been stretched out by attic athletics, every water molecule has been swapped out twice, I'm overwhelmed by the ceremony. It's the perfect time to get ready for an hour of taekwondo!
