"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Going through all of this, I've discovered that my HVAC/general contractor probably didn't put a big enough condenser on my house. My house is sealed up pretty well and well-insulated, but according to everything I've read, my house should have had definitely had a 1/2 ton bigger unit -- like my square footage is above the maximum square footage for the size above my unit's size. All of my square footage being on one floor may have also led to the decision to undersize ac unit. All of that said, it is better to undersize an ac unit rather than oversize. Short cycling apparently wears out your compressor much faster than having the thing run longer and the compressor takes at least five minutes after starting to reach full efficiency. We bought this house when we had 1 kid who was still a baby, now I have three kids with oldest being 11. The ac seems to have work quite a bit harder now.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

I saw one or two of you post about putting some kind of cooling/heating system in your garage. Did you put in a mini-split ac/heat pump? If so, what size is your garage and what size unit did you get?
I have an 800 sq foot garage, west-facing garage. Where I live it's hot, not Phoenix or even as hot as Vegas, but still pretty hot. We have a weight set in the garage and we have a treadmill in the house. I want to get more weights and put the treadmill in the garage along with a TV.
The ac/heat pump will only come on when someone is working out-- though I'm thinking about getting a two zone unit with the other inside unit going into the bedroom that's adjacent to my garage.
I'm thinking a 18k unit will do the job?Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

You're planning on putting a platform at the top of the stairs that you can stand on? You should frame it so that the deck rests directly on the posts. As it is, all the weight of you and the deck is supported by screws. I don't think I'd trust it for long.

Mostly no.
I wanted full posts to keep the hand rails plenty strong. I’m going to put 1/2” bolts through the supports, so that should be ok. I don’t know what code is on something like this, but I’m guessing that would hold for quite a while.
I’m also just tacking it together in the garage as it is really hot outside. I’ll take it mostly apart and drag it out by the barn for final assembly.I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

Took the stair thingys off, put it on the hand truck and rolled it out behind the barn.
Put it back together and added decking to walk on.
Won’t get the hand rails done today. So a task for Monday night.
My wife will christen it next week with a ride on Millie.

Starting to put built-ins in the garage.
First three are drawer units with locking wheels. I will mount drill press, and soon to be purchased planer and jointer to the other three.
