20 yards?
That is a lot of dumpster. We will be getting a 10 yard later this month at Paul’s. Less going in there after talking to the lady for the estate sale. They sell damn near anything and everything.
so waht ya doin today?

You do realize that cloth face masks provide ZERO protection for the wearer, right?

I would buy that reasoning if your wearing a medical grade mask but a strip of your underwear over your face is useless.

More than 30%. More like about 90% wit has little as 3"
The real problem, because of my latitude if your in the open on the flats your shadow at high noon is about 150 to 200 feet long. It's only about belt buckle high over the horizon.
Down in your neck of the woods, were panels are set at shallow at about 25* here we will set panels at 50* to 70*. At my property we totally lose the sun in the trees for about 2 1/2 months. About the first part of March till October it's Katie bar the door for sun shine. On June 20th the sun rises on the right hand edge of my bay window, and sets on the left hand edge 21 hours later. All while sitting at the table.
Here in the interior we get very little wind, and the snow is very dry. A push broom will clear the panels of snow. At least you get bright sky charging which is about 10 to 15%, for a couple of hours.
Rick, it doesn‘t keep a virus particle out, or in. The mask you wear stops the majority of respiratory droplets, little bits of spit, when you talk or breath. By keeping most of them in they are prevented from falling on surfaces or being inhaled by others. This is why the social distancing helps, those droplets generally fall to the ground within 6 ft. The virus is contained in those little beads of spit so containing the contains the virus.
Does any of this entirely stop the virus from spreading? No. Does it greatly reduce the spread? Yes.

Aerosol drops = 5*10^-6 dia. 'fluid' discharge is much larger. N2 (what we breathe) = 370*10^-12, covid19 = 120*10^-9. High fiber count porosity of cotton cloth is 40*10^-6. Multiple layers improve filter efficiency greatly. Path length thing. Most of the porported mask tests are for forcefull high velocity material. Not the normal 10 psi of breathing. Covid is actually a rather large virus chain, ~11000 molecules. Very light 'chunk' so dispersal by itself cannot travel far (NO momentum!). Attached to moisure - goes farther but readily filtered. Basically, yes, masks do help. even the relatively poor ones (20%).

Ok guys, time to ratchet down the dialogue.
How bout we discuss anything but the damn virus? Don’t know about you guys but it is all I hear about everywhere else and I need a place to go and get away from that bit of reality.
Today we installed 5 exterior and 3 interior light fixtures for Paul. Ceiling fan needs a retrofit box to be “right” but the old one is down.
Tomorrow I call the plumber. Painter used the spigot on the back of Payl’s house and the laundry room flooded. I have a feeling the frost free sillcock froze last winter and this is the first time it was used.
