If there’s an attack on American soil and the U.S. government blames Iran, but Iran denies it, I will 100% believe Iran over our own government. And I think most Americans will do the same.
Putting the spooks on notice.
Used some extra plywood and scrap cherry to make a closet organizer with 3 adjustable shelves. Otherwise an awkward closet to use.

Little shop improvement project to get my drills out of the way with some scraps and 3d printed holders.
Still needs some tweaking on shelf to store bits/whatnot.

Shared with my by an NWS Meteorologist:
NWS is potentially in trouble. We are struggling to get our public safety exemption approved from higher ups in the government. Without the exemption, we could face steep cuts. 1/2
This is going to sound insensitive but if you're noticing a significant change in many people around you it's more likely a perception change on your part. I would suggest tempering your perception with an impartial third party if possible.

DADU progress: birds have fledged and left their nest. It's now an unused bird nest and legal to remove. Insulation now comes after framing inspection

DADU progress delay: a bird's nest was found with nestlings in it. It is illegal to move or destroy a bird's nest with eggs or nestlings in it. Judging by these birds they probably only have 5-8 days left in the nest anyway as Carolina Wrens are fast growers.
ALT A Carolina Wren nest with nestlings in it (at least 5 day old nestlings)

If you think you might want in ceiling speakers as a maybe in the future it's pretty cheap to run some UL listed (important) speaker cable zig zagged in likely spots during the build.
Can just cut a hole for the speaker when you go to install it and grab the cable later.

Today on DADU progress: low voltage/network cables begins. I've run these in a few friends builds but of course I am going overboard: 1150 SQ ft but it will be serviced by 24 separate cables to 16 gang boxes. Also a conduit for exterior runs to pull whatever in the future.

Today in air, water and bug sealing: Siga Fentrim tape to seal sheathing bottoms to foundations. Stuff is very sticky and gotta get it on the first shot. Suggest doing this after you're roofed and framing has dried a bit or has the ability to dry further.

The DADU progresses. Nearly done with framing. Maybe one more full day of work followed by cleanup.

Enjoyed adding some uplift resistance to my DADU under construction today. Big boy 24" long screws to hold the top floor to the bottom floor.

If the TN legislature will threaten the funding mechanism for the convention center, how can we trust them to help fund a football stadium? Please explain. A power struggle: How defunding Music City Center could reverberate across Nashville tennessean.com/story/money/2… via @tennessean
