April 15, 2009: Finishing weather instruments – found a room – getting taller

  Well, it was a fairly long day up at the farm.  Arrived this morning and starting running wires (electric) for the weather instruments and tower cam.  At one point I lost my pull string – but somehow managed to get it back.  I was fairly panicked for about 10 minutes!!!  Thankfully, I somehow managed to get it back and finished that project.  Now we have to hook it all up (waiting for electric to be run and T line).

  The roof is starting to go up on the house.  I went up into the room above the media room – which is/was the attic area.  However, the stairs that go to the top of the house (widow’s walk) is going to be in a small room at the top of the second set of stairs.  Anyway, Bobby and Rodney discovered that there will actually be quite a bit of room up there – so we have figued out where to put the kids video games and the like.  Which is good news, because this is something we had not quite figured out.  So, I am happy about that!

  The guy who is making the wood floors met Tony and the rest of us up there this morning, as well.  He is making them out of torn down barnwood.  Should be interesting :).  Hopefully I can get a photo of the barns they use.

  Tomorrow we have to finish up a few small items – on the weather instruments.  Attach a rain gauge.  Then I have finals coming up – so study study study for the weekend.

  Next chance of rain comes on Saturday and Sunday.  Don’t believe severe weather is in the cards.  Will keep an eye, though.  This time of the year it doesn’t take much instability to cause problems.

  Some photos from today…


Finished the big rain gauge 🙂 – it is ready to use.  Now we need rain – errr wait we don’t want rain.

 

 


Posting this for Jason to see – the wires are ready to hook up now for the weather instruments.

 


Starting to work on the roof 🙂
