Which is why I just blew in 20 packs of insulation into the attic above my attached garage and installed insulation on the garage door. Next up is to install a ductless air conditioner and then I'm good to go for the summer. We had 90 days of 100 + heat last year.

You guys and weather stories are making Florida looking better and better.
I haven't had to turn either the heat or air on since the first of the year. High 70's to low 80's during the days and 60's at night (perfect for sleeping).
Best part is I'm sending about half of what I usually do to the electric company each month.
Right now we have the house wide open and the temp is 72 and the birds are singing and life is good. Surely God has blessed me!

That's funny, Tampa Ed. Here in Pensacola, it was in the mid-80's last week, so we used the A/C to keep the wife and grandchildren energy levels up. Rain came on Saturday and it cooled off during the week. Got into the 40's at night. Got up in the mornings and fired off the heater for 2 days to take off the chill. Grandchildren seemed to need it because at their house, the temp is almost always the same. In my childhood days, once the coal heater was taken down for the summer, it didn't matter about cooler days.

Hey, where is Tim?
I think his screen name has something to do with Gutters. He installs them and he had this knack for using shop terms in his post. Wood=would, etc...
Maybe I just haven't been back long enough to catch him posting.

An email list friend used to refer to herself as a "Peasant farmer".
I sometimes in humor refer to myself as "Lord of the manor". And refer to our house and farm as "The manor" and the "Manor house"... Much of that stems from our love of many of the British sitcoms like "To the manor born", "Are you being served again" etc.
I also have often used the title of "CEO / Janitor".

Hahaha, when I was a firefighter I used to say that we were overpaid janitors. At least it felt that way when we were slow... good for the general populace I guess. Plus the uniform kinda lent itself to my warped sense of humor. All dark blue, hot/humid central Il. summers. Made a lot of sense.
I use the knave thing from one of Ed's lines from a few years ago. I thought to myself that I'll never be the woodworker that I want to be for one reason or another. But then I thought that I don't have to be a "pro woodworker", I just putz about and make projects at my own pace. That was a nice epiphany, of sorts.
Now, if I could only start using my tools for furniture, instead of on the home remodel.
