Is there any way to test it? Is there a home efficiency program in NY where they will come test?

Yes. I will punch a hole in the wall and stick my hand in it...

Fortunately we are supposed to stay in the 80s. Still hotter than we like.

You be careful with that tree clearing aart.

That's scary. I'm glad you didn't get any damage to structures.
Will you do the cut up and removal or hire it out?

It was scary, it only lasted about 15 minutes, dark and pouring rain, and didn't hardly register until next day when I could actually see what happened, more grateful each day as I see the other damages nearby.
I'll have to hire it out, my chainsaw days are long over, plus I'll need to have the stuff chipped...too bad I don't need chippings for the chicken run...have a huge pile already, but might find a place for them, might endear me to the tree service.
Who knows when that'll get done tho, LOTS of tree work around, for folks in much more dire need than I.

Exactly...no AC here.
Just really glad the power's back on so I have ice and fans and cold showers.
Gonna have to take some rides in the van if I get to feeling too bad.

93° in the shade and humid. Idk what that equates to, but way too hot. What were we doing today? Working on the goat house! Wanted to stop for a break at 3 , but hubby wasn't into it. So I went and gave all the birds electrolytes in their water. Then back at it. Finally, 2 and 2/3 sides of the house have plywood on... came in at 5 pm.

Gotta get er done Cap, the goaties are coming!!! But it looks like you don't have much more to do with regard to getting sides on it. Other than not being able to lock them in, the goats would mostly be out of the rain.

I had my pansies , primrose and marigolds eaten, I think rabbits did that. I suspect deer ate my hostas and daylilies and 2 easter lilies. Hubby said he was planning to fence it in...
