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 tears and crush marks from being tied down.
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.
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.
