Almost got the lath wrapped up but had to fall back on some interior framing. My plasterer buddies are ready but i gotta get the inside ready for everything else :-(
I had zero time to frame the interior walls before the trusses HAD to be flung up there so paying the price now lol. Fucking covid.
Hoping to get the interior framing done and ready for inspection before i leave for the funeral down south on the 4th. Been hard with all the gardening but what can you do lol.

My last place, the one that burned down, i built a pretty badass kitchen for the size. My buddy built the cabinets. Before i was even done finishing, next thing you know I had a rotovap and a bunch of other crap in there. Lol.
That's what I am looking at now...a 2 liter rotovap, and a vacuum chamber & pump. You can buy a decent Chinese set-up for under a grand. Am I wrong to think this would be better than an etoh Pro, for half the cost?? And the Source turbo seems like a toy...a $600 toy that is only capable of processing very small amounts.

Yeah would have been nice but wouldn’t work. I would have had problems with finishing the stucco at the sill. and i’m putting 2x4 foam around all the windows and doors. The doors on an outswing wouldn’t be able to open all the way :-(
It's looking great! A few more months and then you can give that back a proper rest, hopefully!!

I just waited 5 months for a special order commercial garage door and opener...and they have yet to install it. It was supposed to be completed by November 1st, 2020. And prices are going to really escalate now!!!

I only had a 2 liter setup too. I can’t remember what brand but it chinese i think. I’ll try to remember and look back through the threads and see if i can find it.

A real rotavap is a powerful versatile thing. My one piece of advice is: always have extra seals on hand.

Mate that with a solvent-resistant vacuum source (a water aspirator is the cheap solution) and you’re good to go.
Like this??



and maybe one of these?

Not ideal that’s for sure. But at least there’s no rain and weather to fuck up the studs. Lumber is garbage. I fucking hate wood.
Worst part is notching the exterior top plates where intersecting interior walls attach :-( not that big of a deal. Kinda fucked where there’s walls under vaulted ceiling to exterior, but they do let us use tie plates.
AMEN! I had to buy some wood for fascia repair. I won't say what I think about it, just garbage.

I like that aspirator! Put some ice in the res and you have all the vacuum you need.
I would wait on the vacuum chamber. Your material will be in round bottom flasks. Slap a stopcock adapter on there (similar to the vacuum fitting on the left of the rotavap pic) ...

and that is when you’ll need the higher vacuum of an oil pump. I run a two-stage Robinair.
