My sister-in-law introduced me to her neighbor, who is a bonsai practitioner. He's got some very nice junipers, hinokis and azaleas.
I took one of the pots made by me for introductory gift. He liked it and gave me this juniper as a gift.

I've just photographed this 3 trees at the end of a bench.....


....and I'm feeling very proud that I "produced" them.

Started the shed insulation project for more temp control when overwintering my bonsai.


Had to paint the soffit vents black anyway so took the opportunity to make a template since the shed soffits are flimsy I wanted to remove as little material as possible.


Had to move a bunch of stuff to the greenhouse or the basement so I could actually move around the shed.


Soffit vents first. Did four. The multi hole method won out over the single hole sawzall one

Because I ended up making one long hole accidentally right after this photo. The wood on the soffits is trash. I put fiberglass tape down on the soffit gap and have scrap wood to cover it later.



Lots of little tweaks and modifications to make along the way. Tomorrow I finish insulating the ceiling.

What is the walnut sock for?

Another day of shed insulation. Cue the Benny Hill music.

Was measuring to cut insulation and the wind decided to take the roll.


Got the spaces around the windows done with some mis-measured insulation.


My first time hanging 23" wide unfaced batts and boy did it suck! The shed was pretty hot today so being covered up was unpleasant. I also just split the R30 into R15 because I'm an idiot and I can't seem to buy the right insulation. To be continued tomorrow after work.

Got some grow lights setup in the quarantine zone. I do like having palms and banana trees surrounding my exercise area. Cameo by @leatherback


A few trees got another treatment of insecticidal soap and graduated from quarantine to the grow tent. Five failed their quarantine final and are in the utility sink getting an orthene treatment.


Trimmed some of the tropicals that were really overgrown. There are more to get through.
