Meanwhile, in procrastination world.

I should crawl up into the attic and fix the vapor barrier that the bathroom modelers ****** up and caused water spotting in the ceiling last winter/spring. Looked up there last spring and saw a 4x4 inch hole they cut to run wiring and never patched, just covered with insulation. I patched hole but haven't siliconed and vapor barriered it yet. They also left an electrical box unattached. Lazy bastards, guess they figured if an inspector wasn't going up into the attic neither were they so they could just reach though a hole and leave a box not meeting code. Elected to fix it myself after complaining to them because I figured if they ****** it up once I didn't trust them to do it right the 2nd time. Still, don't like crawling around up there, have to do the dreaded stand on top of the ladder thingy to boost myself up through the hatch.
Maybe a monkey would help?
I'm sorry.

I hope you take your phone with you in case you end up like Clark griswold

Agree, that way we know when to loot your stuff after you’ve been trapped there for 2-3 days.

Summary
DND and still not done. But work done so far is quality stuff. Did not step through ceiling sheetrock. ;)

Too Much Information Version
Could have used a monkey. Space is 5x12 with a height of 4' sloping down to 1 foot. The 4 foot isn't really 4 foot since 12" i-joist roof rafters are hanging down every 16". So, had to assume a crouched down monkey stance with feet perched on joists. No sure someone much bigger than me could even fit in there and pretty sure a lot of guys my age could contort themselves enough to. Found things were more ****** up than I thought. Electrical guys had displaced insulation all over the place when putting in the three new bath lights. Truly a I don't give a **** job like most contractors when it comes to insulation. Lazy *******, insulation is just attention to detail, detail, detail. Got mostly fixed up. Think I need a HD run for a can or two of spray foam and maybe another roll of insulation. With the four light cans and an exhaust fan bumping up into the space another layer of fiberglass running perpendicular to the 10" already rolled over the 3.5" might be a good idea.

Off to HD.

So you're saying there's still a chance that the Russian assassin's work is not complete?
 
 
Just channel flipped into Star War: The Phantom Menace. I am full on talking to myself and going full on Mystery Science Theater 3000. LOL, awful movie.

Several of us kids were visiting mom and dad when that came out so we decided to go see it. We all agreed it was pretty terrible.
 

Posting and display question. The above, and some other linkys on the CF, show up as nice boxed summaries. My links just show up as text hot links (like below). Are you posting from phone?
