Found a notebook a few days ago on a bench in Elm Park and am trying to return it to its owner. I picked it up because the skies were looking ominous. Asked nearly everyone I could find if they were the owner; also checked at Dougherty, no dice. There is a name on the inside. Send me a DM if it's yours and I'll drop it off at the location of your choosing.
Last year I posted asking about legumes flowering. Since I know this community values progress updates, I wanted to report that the A. bracteata has been flowering for the past few weeks, while the A. americana has not flowered yet. That said, I am not necessarily disappointed by the A. americana -- I finally identified some near a local pond that was flowering and it stank.
Attached pics are from the flowering A. bracteata at home and the flower A. americana from the park.
Hi folks,
I have a 1923 Dutch Colonial Revival and am looking to insulate the the roof of a semi-finished walk-up attic. The basic facts:
The rafters are not to modern thickness, so batting will not provide sufficient R value. Everyone we've talked to says closed cell spray foam. I don't love _adding_ more plastic to my house and I especially don't love how it's effectively impossible to undo. We're a BIFL/low-consumption/energy efficient household and care more about doing things "the right way" than short-term gain; sometimes these goals work together and sometimes we need to compromise. I'm finally coming around to CC spray foam being the right call, but wanted to get a sense of any issues people have had with it, especially if you have a similar setup.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm looking for your specific stories for CC foam directly on the roofdeck of a century home with similar characteristics, not advice about CC in general (there's plenty of that available on the internet at large). The specific combination of factors is unusual in my area.
