Still thinking about that ventilation. Yesterday, in Home Depot, we were looking around. We had decided that the low budget approach was to make our doors by cutting them out of the foam, lining the opening with wood, reducing the door a bit, and putting enough wood around it to let us mount hinges and latch (I need to do a bit more figuring for a door seal). Windows could be cut out of the door and added, as we found something affordable that fit.
As we walked by a large display of pet doors, Kathleen said “this is going to sound stupid, but would any of those fit?” We looked them over and discussed the issue of adding screen and the window (I have some plexiglass around the shop). Pet doors are likely not an answer, but it was a good reminder to think outside of the box, to keep our eyes open for more than just things clearly labeled as windows - and this was just before we went to Habitat for Humanity. We didn’t find anything for the foamie project, but I did get a 6’ baseboard heater for $2 and Kathleen got a huge and very desirable $60 cookbook for a buck. I sometimes wish we lived closer, so I could check that place more often. But most of the time I wish we lived even farther out in the sticks.
Couldn’t resist buying another five (4.92) of Glidden Gripper. We believe in stocking up, and we do have houses to maintain. Decided to do the waterproofing of some wood we have, so bought three gallons of mineral spirits and a gallon of oil based polyurethane varnish.
When looking at foam in HD, we saw PL300 foam glue by Loctite. I know the standard here is Gorilla Glue or Gorilla Construction Adhesive. But I wondered how this stuff, which is advertised as specifically for foam, would compare for foam to foam joints.
Life is too short not to be happy.
