We’re all going to
die!!!! Got a letter today from the
Vermont Department of Heath Radon Program saying that the radon detector that
we had in the house basement over the winter was so overexposed that they
couldn’t get an accurate reading, which probably means we have more than 30
picocuries of radon per liter (pCi/l). Gaack! (The EPA recommends mitigation action
whenever the radon level is above 4 pCi/l.)
A new radon detector also was in the mail, which hopefully will tell us
just how bad our problem is after a 30 day exposure. Meanwhile, the living dead continued
shingling the east wall. Having
one-of-those-days, I made three attempts to install the KOMA® block
and weather proof electrical box for the outlet outside the shop door, failing
miserably each time. This is not complicated
carpentry, but was well beyond my feeble capabilities this morning. Figuring mindless work was more my speed,
spent the rest of the day sorting, cutting, and staining shingles.
