What did you accomplish today?

Is that the crawl space?
Yes. Not into slab foundation. But i also had to build on some grade.
In a raised foundation you either leave it dirt and have shit loads of vents or cover it in a 6mil(minimum) vapor barrier and only need about 1/3 the vents. It really is just a better system. Not to mention when my ass needs to crawl back in there like it seems i’m always doing in my houses, It will be nice.

Rando questions since I haven't been following;

You're building a house?
Are you building an indoor garden area too?

Today I plan to install a SCROG net (chicken wire and bungee cords) in my 5 x 5 tent. First SCROG.
I got 2 long phone calls during the install, so I quit halfway through. All hanging clear, but not low in the canopy, (*edit) so not yet a trellis. Hopefully finish today. Procrastination is the partner of disaster.

To ensure no buds are damaged, I'll eventually clean up all the growth under the trellis, so it's not possible to have canopy envelop the wire.

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:

mother fucking shit is bright as fuck. Omg
I am trying to understand the logic of something. Why would they reqire insulation on the concrete there. It seems you are building a ground level that would have very good thermal properties (i.e. stay cool and help keep house cool)?

Thisclears up the floor plan confusion but still curious why to insulate are you in heat deficit more than 6mo/yr?

Keeps condensation from forming I think, from temp differentials.

I was in trim prison all morning, then finished up the poppy seeds. Couple heads are still drying
Time for a beer & kief joint before I fall down. Later, all.

Not trying to hijack, however it is a raised floor that is being insulated. There are vents to keep the air circulating under the floor to prevent condensation so it ends up being the same as the outdoor temp, hot floor in summer, "cold" in winter.

4 wheeled into a deep, high backcountry lake. We didn’t like the geography on our side of the lake so we took our gear by raft to a rocky, cliffy area with a beach.

at about 1030 when the shrooms were really kicking we took a moonlight raft ride and I stood in the front playing soulful, tasty licks on the guitar while singing stuff like, “come on baby girl, lemme chew on the clit, I’m gonna lube up the mallard, put it right where you shit, baaaaaabayyyyyyy, oooooooh yeah girlllllllll”

there were a few other people camping in spots along the lake and I heard some lady go, “what the fuck IS that? Do you hear that? Where is it coming from?”

success.
