As I left for work this morning, I noticed a very unusual ice formation hanging from the standing seam metal roof on Maya’s tiny house. The ice actually curls back towards the siding as it hangs from the roof. I wish I had more time to take a more interesting photo.

Better Safe Than Sorry
I requested that Jeanine photograph me in my hazmat gear as I prepared to investigate the asbestos tiles that cover our basement floor. Our new house was built in 1952 when asbestos was a commonly used component of such tiles and the mastics used to secure them. As long as the tiles remain intact they pose no risk. Removing them, however, must be done very carefully. As a teenager, while working on my parent’s house, I removed asbestos pipe insulation with no protective equipment and probably inhaled 1000 times more than I will when it comes time to remove the tiles. Given my prior exposure, I am taking extreme precautions to limit any further damage to my lungs.
Homeless
In a rather anticlimactic fashion, we closed on the sale of our home today. Having granted power of attorney to our real estate lawyer there was nothing in particular for us to do but wait. Technically speaking, we are now without a home since the closing on our new house has yet to happen even though we have been granted occupancy.

After hours on the phone with no less than four Comcast customer support representatives last night, I was able to suspend internet/TV service at our old address and establish service at our new one. With both heat and internet operational, we are living large. On my final visit to our now-empty house, I took a few photos as a future reminder of our time there. My shop never looked cleaner or bigger and I can’t wait to start building out my new one.
Speed & Size
Earlier this week we made an important speed breakthrough at Digital Alloys. Today we added size to the mix. We are now in a position to demonstrate high-speed metal printing at scale. There is still much to be done before we have a commercially viable product but this is another critical milestone for the company and was a very exciting day at the office.
Heron Reflection
My attempt to sneak up on this blue heron this morning resulted in his rather abrupt departure. Even so, I was able to get a nice shot of him flying away up the river. When I get more than a minute to address none critical house issues, I will plane down the door to our future patio area so that it does not emit a loud groan each time it is opened. After days of trying to repair our oil-fired furnace and unable to find anything wrong, I had to relent and call a furnace repair person. After arriving, he solved the problem in less than five minutes. There was nothing wrong with the equipment, only the operator. I had set the thermostat to the HEATING mode. Because of the way it was installed, it is necessary to set the thermostat to the EMERGENCY HEATING mode to fire the furnace. Live and learn.

My team has been making excellent progress at work. We have improved printing speed by 30x since last month and believe we can go faster yet. The timing is good, as we are about to begin seeking a “C-round” of financing and our business case only improves with faster printing speeds.
