This is a god awful time to wake up for no money.

I took a cutting of B2P1 for the Master Grower. Now I'm waiting on it being picked up.

Cutting the plant was no problem.

Waiting to give it away is making my brain squiggly.

Oh dude I hate that crap so bad. For insulation that is. Rockwool for growing has done me good over the years.
I’ll use a mineral wool batt for some help with sound deadening is some of the interior walls. But when I used to work my trade I would have to handle that shit all the time. We would usually be handling the shit thermafiber. Itching for days! Way worse than fiberglass. Hate that crap!

A good trick someone taught me years ago, when working with fiberglass insulation, use baby powder on any exposed skin, e.g. face and arms, and it keeps the glass from sticking to your skin...It works...You might look like a crazy person while doing it, but it's worth it for no itch!!

I need to get my arse moving, re-mix some super soil that's been cooking in the sun for a month, and transplant a bunch of young ladies....I've been procrastinating all week!

I've never used those, just regular fiberglass. I used to take some duct tape rolled sticky side out around my hand and patted my arms to get the fibers out of my skin.

When I was probably about 10 years old my step dad decided to insulate the 3 car garage ceiling. There was just a small cubby so I was elected to get up in that tight space and insert the bats. No one told me it was itchy stuff...I itched so bad when it was over! And I remember my mom had to throw away the clothes I was wearing because even after washing they still itched.

Half way done with the transplanting...ugh, it's my least favorite part of growing, just because there's so much lifting and bending. Gotta say, this is my nicest looking super soil ever! Sooo black!!

Oh yeah for sure. If I was to be insulating all day or for a while that’s what i’ve done and would do. But when we would need to fuck with the shit it would be cutting and shoving the shit overhead(usually) so we could continue framing. We weren't smart enough to Carry the powder everywhere with us around the job lol.

Well,
I thought for sure i’d be done with the vapor barrier and be actually throwing in some floor joists today. Nope. Got all of the rimboard up needed to frame though. Gotta throw in them beams/girders and posts and will be ready to slap them TJI’s in there. Easy peasy stuff from here on out:hump:

I was thinking it would be dark colored, what do I know. We were insulating floor joists with foil backed insulation on the De Sable house, that was blinding also. Coming along bro.
