HVAC guys were kind enough to move a piece of EMT

And now I can't move it back and I can't move the strap because the duct is in the way and I want to have an adult beverage.

I think I'm going to be buying that right-angle attachment tomorrow so I can unscrew the strap-with-no-pipe and move it to where dude moved my pipe.

All the dude had to do was ask. I was working from home so I'd be there while they were doing the HVAC work. I'd already moved an Ethernet jack upstairs for them.

Everything works great. The zones do their zoning. I programmed the thermostat to run at least 5 minutes every hour. My exercise room will have AC when I get in there and sweat. But tomorrow night I'm going to be on a step stool moving that damned strap because he wanted to put a piece of duct where a piece of EMT already was.
 
I just finished stuffing mineral wool in all the bays that were still open and now I can barely hear the furnace in the room that's right next to the furnace.

That stuff is a miracle building material.

If he's drinking all your beer he isn't that cheap.

The lady who's doing all the carpentry work in my basement keeps drinking all my beer.

I had a guy who kept bumming cigarettes back when I used to smoke. I bought a very generic pack of unfiltered cigarettes and that became my bumming pack. Worked like a charm 😂
 
The electrician who wired my room addition is a putz… I pity the person who someday buys this house from me. That electrician did a lot of stuff that, while technically not code violations, are weird and unconventional. The AHJ had issues with some of it at the time, but couldn’t find code violations.

He drank all of my good craft beer too and there’s a rumor that he was sleeping with my wife! I feel bad about losing the beer…

The large hospital that I retired from used it on every wall. Carpenters called it something like itchy wool. Harder to fish down from a 12 or 14' high ceiling then cheaper less dense fiberglass insulation.

Rock wool? I've never had issues with compared to fiberglass. I suspect they used it because it's far more naturally resistant to mold than fiberglass. There was a corner of the basement where someone had stuffed it up in the rim joist bays and it was mostly moldy and I don't know why. I've never seen rock wool with even a spot of mold on it.

And yes, I pity anyone who has to fish through it.
