I was driving to finally order the insulation and rubber to be roof delivered tomorrow and got this photo. I have been watching from above as the Topeka Police bike patrols ride in mass up and down 6 Street. I was thinking that it was just for training, but no, it was for official arrests. Not sure what these guys had done, but it took 4 police to round them up.

I ordered and received the insulation, rubber and all the other necessary additions to install a fully adhered edpm rubber roof. For a not so nominal fee, a crane roof top deliver the rolls of rubber and insulation. Everything was going pretty quickly until we started laying the rubber. It had been kind of windy all day and that really slowed the process down. Anyway, I’d hope to get about twice as much membrane down as much as I did. Maybe it will go faster tomorrow. It’s not something to do under the lights. This has been the longest I haven’t ridden a bicycle for a decade. But, it seems like I’m losing weight and getting stronger. Stronger at lifting stuff at least. The weather is going to go south in a couple days. I’ve had pretty great luck with the weather really. But, it is November.

So, I’m gonna make this building weather tight. Go somewhere warm and ride my bike until Cyclo-X Nationals, go ride a stage race in China a couple days after Christmas until the first week in January and think about doing Master’s Cyclo-X Worlds in Begium in January. At least that is the tenative plan right now.

250 sheets of insulation.

20 percent covered.

It takes a ton of tools to do this.
