Thank you @Don Gin and Ton I got a taster of Agwa and I'm getting a bottle. They had 6 bottles of the Glenlivet left when I got there LOL I'm not running out again! So I've been making test caipirinha's today to impress the new Brazilian daughter in law.

I think I've got it hammered, or I'm hammered, but whatever hammered

strom clean-ups, back filling 8 miles of field tile, dirt/grade work, finishing up a retaining wall, couple hundred yards of mulch, getting shit ready for fall clean up, bidding plow jobs, winterizing equipment etc...

had a pressure test done on the house so that resulted in- insulting power outlets, re-caulking some windows, blowing MORE insulation in the attic space, boxing in vent/heater fan in upstairs bathroom, cutting out insulation board to fit floor joist/header joist space to then seal with a two part insulating foam(not even going to try that one myself) The guy that did the test said that air leaks around the house are comparable to leaving a window open all year, and thats about average for most home.:o up to 120 temp dif between seasons around here, so its worth the $,$$$ spent. going to test furnace exhaust draft pressure after everything to make sure we're not too sealed in.

carpet/trim/paint/caulk/ceiling fan/ wall decals and hanging stuff in the baby's room. the room was attic space above the garage that we knocked out a wall in the master bath to connect the rooms last winter. so the baby's room is finished!!

some good booze, food and a couple movies last night were well deserved.

Started glueing the cans together for the solar heater. Slapped together a little wood frame to keep the cans straight while the adhesive sets. I'll be doing 15 of these rows inside the heater. Hopefully have all 15 together and painted by the end of the weekend. View attachment 3834988

Well it turns out the adhesive i bought is expired(09/08 ) and didn't set so nothing got painted and it all needs re glued. Never thought to check for an expiration date but ya live and learn i guess altho i am pretty pissed. Heading now to get a refund.

We did the blower door test on our house in the spring of 14 - then a buddy (whom does this shit for a living) and I spent all summer stripping siding, sealing tyvek, foaming and everything else. added a foot of blown in insulation in the roof's, all new energy efficient double pane windows, new vinyl doors & siding etc... I spent well over 20k, 2nd blower door test showed house went from a 2 plus star rating to 4.5 star. As an added bonus the state gave me over 8.5k back as an energy rebate and our home heating bill is cut almost in half.

Win, win.

Cleaned the chimney today then setup a fish tank for our fair fish that's been living in the cow's water tank. We put goldfish in the water tank to keep down the algae, works real good over the Summer. Now that it's getting colder we didn't feel like heating the tank all Winter so the fish gets a new home.
