I'm making plans to at least double my rebuild time on the homestead. Gutting the building there, to upgrade it to a net zero house; is now underway. I will add r33 to the floors, and r12 to the walls; with all new construction.
Adding additional stringers will stiffen the structure. The plywood will be screwed down and glued, after adding the insulation and vapor barrier:
These two windows will be replaced with a single, silvered, double pane window:
There is already r33 in the walls:
When done, the entire house will run off of solar panels and wind power. Even though there is power a available, I intend to run fully off the power grid!
One must always improve themselves, any thing less would be boring....
I'm not entering your contest, but I do enjoy them a lot! What are you going to be doing?

Well it sure looks like you've got plenty to keep you busy.
I took Saturday off work and all, went to the range and shot some guns and told (and listened too) lies with my bros! Lol.
Today I've been setting up my new home office set up, adding monitors and all, now three external, two will work off my work laptop when I'm working from home and the third is for my personal laptop which is what I'm responding to you on. Not a very exciting day but I'm glad to have got it set up. It'll make me more productive.
True, it's a big job; but off grid keeps drawing me every time I pay utilities here, LOL! Slow and steady always has worked for me.
The range trip is a good reset, I just did that, but another trip is singing to me now! I may make it a black powder day, to enjoy the sulphur.... It would be fun to trade lies!
I understand the computer problems, my desktop has been down for over a year. Just too much other stuff to take the time. I've been using my engineering computer some, but it's Windows; so it can't go on the Internet! Need to get my lazy backside going, pull the motherboard; and do some solder repairs. The list is long sometimes, ROFLOL! But it's good we're getting more work out of you.... I'm using a laptop some myself, with Linux OS installed of course; and my phone at times, although I don't have Unix on it yet (but I'm looking).
My family will be here Christmas Eve, and they want to use Momma's china, so I've got to pull that out, and wash the storage off; will be fun! Got my Son and Son in love (law); one of those pellet rifles we talked about. There is a YouTube video of a Man hunting feral hogs with it, using a forehead shot! He gets two before they run off...so I decided they should both have one too, for SHTF use.
Keep on prepping!
👍💙🙏📖🙏💗😋🤠
