Morning gang

 

Rest, rest and more rest.

Currently the west coast is orbiting 6" from the sun, no relief anytime soon.

 

News items consists of buckling road surfaces, trailer park campers are complaining they live in a microwave oven and want federal assistance.

 

Keep your critters cool, more news later when we rotate out of this orbit.

I didn't do one productive thing on Sunday and it almost killed me.  I have to stay busy all the time for some reason. Relaxing is a chore.  Saturday however I got my starter rows down on the bedroom floor.

Coffee.......................................................

 

My wife and I walked around the house all day yesterday with mild headaches.  We really couldn't put our finger on the cause as neither of us had an inordinate amount to drink on Saturday.  Come to find out she had accidentally bought decaf beans and yesterday morning was the first time we had them.  LOL, we got it bad.

Doctor scared me away from caffeine. Regular doctor and Cardiologist both told me that caffeine can trigger those heart rhythm issues i was having. (Thank God i haven’t had an episode in a few months--they were really getting old).  i don’t mind decaf coffee; but, then i don’t drink it everyday either. I’ll drink coffee when it’s cold outside. Today, got out of bed and grabbed an ice-cold 7-Up.

That's great news.  If the DR ever told me to quit drinking coffee, I'd do it.  It's pretty much an enjoyable habit at this point but I could live without it if it affected my heart.

Glue down.  I had to clean all the drywall mud and paint that was on the slab from when the house was built.  Carpet had been hiding the mess, that took a while.  Next step was to put down a 2 part sealer as a moisture barrier.  The glue goes on top of that.  The glue is a Titebond  that the floor manufacturer recommends.  It has the consistency of thin peanut butter but is stringy like melted cheese.  It's a mess to deal with but 24 hours after you put it down, the floor is completely bonded to the concrete.

Afternoon gang

 

Current reading from outside is 115

 

Just pulled the trigger in an AC system for the ManCave, less than a Grand and will have it by next week.

Would have done the "Ductless" for twice the cost however Pro AC service was required for charging, scrw that.

ManCave has not had a Perk since the snowroof, in combo with that i should be "Stylin"  Cave is 80 currently @45 Humid.

Glue down

Way back when this floor covering was just out, maybe 20+ years ago, i helped a guy do his kitchen.

This was over a foam sheeting, maybe an 1/8" thick, floating  i believe they called it at the time.

Never found out how it held up as he sold the house soon after.

 

I told him iv always glued it, he seemed ok with his method, i still wonder how it worked out......

Floating over a pad is the most common application for laminate.  Just about anyone can install it.  I don't care for the sound you make as you walk across it as it sounds very hollow.

Greetings C,C & Cers!  To say life has been busy lately wouldn't be accurate.  I read far more often than I post, but anyway - solstice was mentioned and I thought I'd share a pic from Sat night about 11:15pm.  Days start getting shorter from Thursday - we're at the time of year that I think that's ok!  We stay up Waaaayyy too late in the summer...
