Here's a crappy phone pic of what I had to crawl along. Blow these studs you see horizontal is a one foot gap to the real studs for the ceiling in the upstairs but those ones had nasty insulation yuk!

Took the pic while I took a lil 5 min rest to sit up instead of laying on my ribs and legs :ugh2:

woah, nice job and nice picts, LMB. :tup: that looks spooky up there as expected. :ugh: i remember nailing down these plastic flooring at my parent's old place long time ago. makes it A LOT easier to crawl and use as storage. :D

Morning.

Hrm, kind of a somber Monday. It's been so hot out, super windy and dusty last night (wasn't me!), then 19 firefighters died up North fighting a wildfire. :thumbsdown:

A friend sent me a pic of the fire:
( Click to show/hide )

Her grandparents (experienced firefighter, fighting the fires still, and EMT) took the pic - a little too close for comfort being that 19 FF's just died.

Yep. 19 of the "Hot Shots". So they didn't have any water or tanker trucks. They were out there trying to build a fire line to prevent it from spreading further towards the population. They had to dig in and cover themselves in their foil-like wrap (not sure what it's called) and hope that the fire passes over...

It didn't. :(

One of the worst jobs and most physically demanding too. They have to hike up through the mountain/hills/dried brush. :shakes head:

Nismo89 07-01-2013 10:29 AM

yea, was watching the news this morning, those 19 firefighters went into their survival suits, designed to protect them from fire and something happened to the suits or whatever and the suits didn't protect them like they are designed to do. The Suits are used only as a last resort in a dire situation until the fire passes over. and something clearly didn't go as planned with their suits...

dang, that' really sucks. :( wind direction can change at any given time so back up of a backup of a backup of a backup is probably needed. that's kinda like that veteran tornado chaser guy who passed away earlier this spring. :(
