Need to Get More Insulation in the Attic

Roy was walking around upstairs in our rooms and taking temperature readings with a thermal imaging app he has on his phone.
He was going all around the ceiling where he could reach and it was reading at over 100 degrees Fahrenheit with the air conditioning and fans going. YUCK!
The house has central air but it's hard to get it cool up here even with that.
We have a portable unit on the bedroom side and a window unit on our office side.

He called the contractor who will be rebuilding the storage shed for us and asked him if he does insulation too. He does so he is going to come and have a look on Monday.

My sisters and I grew up in these rooms up here before my parents got central air conditioning in the house.
That didn't happen till we are all grown and out of the house. But we had an above-ground pool where we spent most of the time in the summer. Dad got rid of that when we were out of the house. He wanted his backyard back and got tired of fixing the filter and stuff every year when no one was around to use it. I get it. But I miss the pool. I would swim when it was as cool as the low 60s here. I often joke that the polar bear is my spirit animal. Except I don't like raw fish. I don't like cooked fish much for that matter. LOL
Obviously, I won't ever be moving to anywhere that is warm/hot year-round.

And on to my weekly update.

Friday Buying on Thursday 6/1

Started with 6.83966299 Swap.Hive in my HE wallet that I got from trading other tokens.
I used my $16 weekly fiat investment to buy Hive and power up for Power Up Day this time.
Received $14.36 USD worth of Litecoin which I deposited to Swap.LTC on Hive Engine.
Received 0.14997454 and traded it for 40.89703287 Swap.Hive
Had 47.73669313 Swap.Hive and withdrew 41 to have just over 40 liquid Hive to stake for Power Up Day.
That left me with 6.73669313 Swap.Hive in my Hive Engine wallet.

I always thought those apps were bogus. I mean, do they really put thermal imaging hardware n phones these days?

Apparently they do. Just Googled 'phones with thermal imaging capability' and got several review lists. Strange times. I wonder what prompted that idea?

Good Morning, @michaelklinejr!
He had to download the app and then he bought the device that plugs into the headphone jack on the phone.
It is a little bigger than those square things that are used for swiping credits into a payment app.
Have a great day😆

I'm not a fan to eat fish either, cooked or raw. I hope you manage to stay cool, I have just bought some Aircon and will be cool again in 2 weeks time.

Good Morning, Steve
LOL! I will eat grilled salmon but it has to be very well cooked. And I will eat beer batter cod. Oh, and albacore tuna is alright too.
But that is pretty much the limit for me
It helps to live near the lake and get that cool breeze from there.
It didn't get as hot as predicted which is also very good.
Have a great day, @mypathtofire 😆

Good Morning and Thank you, Jack!
I am happy it didn't get as hot as predicted.
We live near Lake Michigan which helps keep it less oppressive.
Have a great Monday😆

Hi, Lisa. Happy Sunday! I'm sorry about the heat in the house and how you are without a swimming pool. That sure sounds nice to be able to swim like you did. I hope your weather will cool down tomorrow. Nice numbers you have for your weekly report! Great job! Take it easy and drink ice water too. Have a nice week ahead. Barb :) @lisamgentile1961 !BBH !CTP

Hello, Lisa! I am behind myself and catching up 😊 Don't apologize because It can get extremely hot in the room I live in that is in my sister's and nephews old house that they have not been able to do much to. I'm grateful for the roof over my head and protection from the elements and it's pretty warm during the winter. It's a sturdy house built about 100 years ago in this old town. I feel lucky 😊👍 !BBH !CTP

Good Morning and Thanks, @hoosie!
It's cooled off quite a bit right now. So I am grateful for the break from the heat.
The funny thing is that I grew up in this upstairs part of the house with my three sisters.
I forgot how flipping hot it gets up here. It was interesting finding out that there was almost no insulation in the attic.
And today? Today I am wearing sweats. LOL Wisconsin weather.
Have a great day and rest of the week.

We did not have air conditioning when I was growing up, either.
We did however have a large basement which stayed cool in the summer.
I spent a lot of time in the basement. lol

Your investments are coming along nicely, Lisa.
Keep up the progress, @lisamgentile1961

Good Morning and Thank you, John!
We have a basement here in the house too.
And before we had the pool put in the backyard we spent a lot of time there.
Actually, that is the family area and where the kitchen and dinner table are. It's gone through many evolutions in the sixty-plus years I've been around.
When I was growing up and before I was born, Kenosha, WI had mostly Italian immigrant families. Most of them had their basements finished at least partially.
The living room was for entertaining guests. We weren't even allowed on the main floor.
Ahhh! Memories.
Have a great day and rest of the week, @beststart 😆
