This post has great ideas,thanks, Wayne in Keywest [like that place,Wayne.].
I will call around for this stuff, thank you.I wish you were local and I had
the insurance to hire someone like you.
....Fortunately I have a huge fan and have had it several running days now
.I have a sensitive sense of smell so I have to get the wires out of the walls
and ceiling as all are burned bare[ might use the copper, creatively,
someday] and need removal.If the building is worth saving I will drywall next time
with the fire resistant type thick drywall installed professionally.The
plywood didn't do as badly as that veneer -like paneling stuff could have burned
in a fire.I will also get all the wiring in conduit,although I'M not certain
that would help.If I can ever get enough to do it I am reconsidering my walls
of the other studio for removing the paneling and replacing it with drywall,
but that will have to wait until I win the powerball,lol..
IT IS TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR LONG WITH A PLASTIC SHOWER CAP IN THIS HEAT.Does
anyone have the ability to describe verbally the creating of a cotton fabric
into a headpiece like Ladi,lady African potter Michael Cardew introduced in
the 70's from Nigeria, wore when building her coil pots in the heat when she
demonstrated here.It was very functional and looked good, on her at least.
