First day back to work, and there's literally no one else here. I hope I can remember how to set the alarm when I leave...

They had replaced the security system, and I was supposed to have a 5 digit code. A coworker sent me his code so I could leave the building. I later learned I could have used my key FOB instead of a code by holding the FOB near a secret location on the key pad for 3 seconds 
. Good thing I got out, I was about to start drinking the beer someone left in the fridge!

You should have taken it anyway for your troubles. A cold one or two on ride home is always niceThey had replaced the security system, and I was supposed to have a 5 digit code.

Dude, that new grow room is gonna be bad ace.
Can’t wait to see it finished out.

It occurred late to me that I only have one receptacle in the ceiling for lights. I should still be able to snake the wire from the uncovered side to a hole I make in the ceiling. I can mount plugs later.
I have one more truck load of junk to carry out as well. The floor should be completely clear after that, not counting the chair.
So another 12 sheets or so, a few more rolls of insulation, and a lot of mud. I plan to not sand anything but the floor if I can help it.

You can always wet sand with a sponge.
Celebrated my mother's 90th birthday today, so not much happening in the attic. Pretty good day all around. Except for some limitations imposed by her vision, she's still pretty spry.
I'm trying to get over my food hangover and start moving the last of the attic junk to my pickup. Might not happen until tomorrow, though. I think that was one holiday binge too many.

Turns out @RosterMan was on the right track. I cleaned and oiled the wheels, and was able to work it under the slanted sections. I think it's actually a little slower than the other method, but it's a lot easier not having to hold the board up with one hand and use the screw gun with the other. I also cut the sections down to 64" which lets me use the remainder to cover 32" of the vertical sections.
I have a truck bed full of stuff I have to take to the dump, but I'm told we're in for an ice storm tomorrow. I was eventually dragged out to take down Christmas lights, but managed all but two of the slanted sections before my wife found where I was hiding.

I've been dealing with minor cold symptoms pretty much through the whole break. A coworker says it's likely because I don't wear a mask when installing the fiberglass insulation. Any truth to this? I never wore one before. I hate those things. I also don't remember having a cold while working with it in the past.
Always wear it Glass fibers can cause all kinds of BAD Things
Pain in the ass, but so is lung disease

In my working days, a mask is what the Lone Ranger wore. Asbestos, fiberglass dust, and the fireproofing stuff they sprayed on red iron that had four known carcinogens in it went unnoticed.
As a teen the plasterers I worked for used to send me into old attics full of loose insulation to clear it from whatever room they were repairing. Even in mid summer I wore thick gloves and socks, long sleeve shirt and hoodie over it. Only things not covered were my nose and mouth. Go figure.

You quickly figure out to take a cold shower first and then a normal temp one afterward. The cold shower shrank your pores so the glass didn't get in 'em. No rubbing, either. Let the water do the work.

I'm surprised ya didn't get some respiratory issues with all that. COPD can creep in years later.
