DizRotus Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 We had free Snurfers, as my father worked for Brunswick, which made Snurfers under license from the inventor, Sherman Poppen. My younger brother used them. I never tried to master it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T 1 11 siding here too. This is why I'm insulating so heavily. It's sunny, breezy and 60 degrees outside presently. This is the South wall. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2018 Like to see it in August, you could probably add 40 degrees. If there was room a nice tree, without invasive roots like a Crepe Myrtle can shade in the late evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Had enough time between church and the Texans game to start the framing. After the game we bowl so this is it for the weekend. That's why my projects take so long. Lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might pay you to pull the T111 off and add an insulation board to the outside then re-install the wood siding, at least on the sunny side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also why that wall will get 5 inches of foam instead of 3 1/2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that spray foam will make a huge difference, but it seems like the inside of that wall being 40 degrees warmer on a day that isn't that hot seems odd. And your siding isn't a hot color. Is that felt paper behind the siding? The outside of the felt might be warmer than the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninsulated metal buildings will burn you if you touch the inside of the south wall. Yes, the felt is behind the siding. Right now it's 74 degrees in the shade and the outside surface of that wall is 156 degrees. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 You can feel the heat radiate off the inside of the wall 5 away inside the garage. The inside temp is now 116 degrees on the inside felt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the answer, were a little to close to the sun, we don't really insulate for winter down here, it's all for summer. Could you imagine down by the equator? I say this because we have left here in Jan or Feb when it was in the 30-50's average and went to Mexico about 684 miles South and it was in the mid 80's there. The equator is about 2060 miles South of here, a little to close to the sun for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fun when the "big high school" boys would want to try it [I was a punk jr high kid]. Didn't give them much exercise. If they made 20ft, they were doing good. I had one of the fancy wooden ones with a metal rudder/skeg/keel and tire studs to stand on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Time for a cocktail. Spent 6 hours in the ER with daughter today. She took a spill off a skateboard and attempted to stop a face plant ending up breaking her wrist. Temp soft cast until the orthopedic surgeon visit. Some stern warnings about keeping it immobilized due to the bone having one blood vessel and if it detaches......... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
