Insulation just about finished

Spent the day mucking around on insulating the overhead door (I’m trying not to use the word “garage” in reference to my studio project — thinking positively). My main problem was I wanted to use up the leftover Roxul mineral wool, and cover it up with foil-coated bubble wrap and metal tape. Unfortunately, mineral wool is really heavy, and so is the bubble wrap, so needless to say, when I opened the door up, all the insulation fell out. I decided to use some exterior carpet tape and some pop-rivets, and the thing’s holding quite well now. Still looks a little spacey, what with the metallic bubble wrap … but hey. The loft ceiling will also be covered with a foil-covered vapour barrier, and eventually, so will the walls. I think the whole thing’s going to look like a good Star Trek set. Actually, the foil has a great side-effect of letting more light into the loft, so it’s quite nice up there right now. There’s only a few more spots left without insulation, and I’ll get them covered up in the next couple of days or so, and then we’re done — all insulated for the winter.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
