Too much work. Not enough rest.

[Cheesepuff]

Going up into the attic to continue remodeling work. Not bad this time of year but it is all squatting or on the knees. I wish we had a higher pitched roof as it would make things so much nicer to do anything up there even just storage.

Tip #1: Invest in some nice knee pads (gel foam inside/hard plastic outside). Huge upgrade from the ones I had from "back in the day". Your knees will thank you. (keep them by the pull down ladder)
Tip #2: throw away twice as much as you think you should. (everything you drag up there... you'll have to drag down)
Tip #3: make good walkways (ok crawlways) and keep them clear or you won't be able to get to or find anything (don't ask how I know this)

Good luck with the medical stuff.
Thanks for the kind words.

I had not thought about knee pads. They would not get used much but when they are I can see the benefit. I do need to put more plywood down as I need to do more wiring and insulation and get some things organized.

Thanks for everything Mike.

I did a few presses with the bar but the shoulders didn't care for those so that's it for today!

The bench felt like another shit show today. The trap bar pulls were strong so I guess it evens out.

A couple of weeks ago I saw your log, you did 190 for triples so you be back in no time! Take it cool and just work around it.
