fox update: the first of the new vacuum pipes are in. we're vented to outside and have our first inlet for a hose. ignore the low voltage wire that hasn't been zip tied to the pipe yet. maybe i'll put it in 1/2" smurf tube, idk.
the fnacy schedule 20 PVC is so annoying to deal with compared to regular old schedule 40 DWV pipe and sewer & drain pipe, especially cause of the need to cut it square and smooth. it wants to smoosh instead of cut, so the scissor or ratchet type cutters are right out. it smooshes in the rotary cutter but does eventually cut and return to round. but it's super smooth inside and along fittings compared to schedule 40 so i see the advantage.

fox update: not a whole lot of progress today, but i did pick up some polyiso foam board. if you encounter cardboard corners like these when opening boxes, save them and stick them in your truck next to the ratchet straps. my sheets of polyiso are majestically unmolested by tea Show more

but i did get the new vacuum hung on the wall. now i can start running hard pipe through walls and behind things so i don't trip over long vacuum hoses. the old shopvac is then headed out to the shed to sit and wait for an ultra-rare wet mess.
i brought in the coil of fiber and all the leftover 3/4" smurf tube. i don't know what past me was thinking by saving so many smol pieces but here we are. i'm gonna use schedule 40 PVC couplings on it instead of buying more PVC conduit couplings and you can't stop me. they won't UV degrade inside a wall and ceiling.

fox update: tore off the crusty old baseboard and cut out & put on the new ones. there was a little water damage to the drywall in there behind it cause it had gaps and never really sealed. the new ones are polystyrene and fully caulked on all sides so should be waterproof. als Show more

also set up a blast gate and adapter for the semi-rigid dust collector spoot. they only make 2-1/2" blast gates but it fit alright on the outside of a 2" vac pipe. so far so good on operation no longer tripping over hoses.

fox update: first data conduit is in and populated with two cat6 and a pull string. unfortunately for the other two, the 3/4" smurf tube is buried way in the back of the shed of the shed and it's been unreasonably hot outside so i'm not sure how much i have left, i used a lot of Show more
