They are content to accept that certain people have developed different understandings of acceptable risk through training and experience, not because they are somehow crazy. Questions of risk are asked but the filmaker seems happy to grant agency to Marc-André and other climbers. It flirts with the typical tropes that are prevalent in climbing documentaries without becoming cliché. Others combine beautiful scenery with a rhythmic tension. They depict feats that hold me on the edge of my seat. Some climbing documentaries are exciting. I am not a climber, but I have always had a deep love for the wilderness, the mountains, and the unexplainable feeling of summiting a peak.

The movie chronicles two years of his climbing. The movie follows Marc-André Leclerc, a Canadian rock climber and alpinist. I just finished “The Alpinist” on Netflix.

They let though significantly less noise as well. I made a few measurements last night and the insulation factor is better. This is Sherwin Williams Alabaster SW7008. It is now flush against the inside of the wall and was just slightly thinner than the wall so some trim work was necessary.Įverything really looks good after painting the trim. It took some work to prepare the opening for the new door. I couldn’t find any markings on the old door so I don’t know exactly how old it was or when it was installed. The jambs on newer style doors are larger than the original. It leaked around the edges in hard rain, the only type we get in Houston. The old patio door was single pane with an aluminum frame. My old doors were not well insulated, did not meet the HOA nor windstorm guidelines and were leaking around the old weatherstripping.

While I prepare for the bigger projects I decided to update the doors and windows. I’ve run some calculations on my energy consumption changes over the past year and my heat loss/gain and I think the HVAC must go. I’m hoping the efficiency improvements I make to the doors, windows, and sub-floor eliminate the immediate need for HVAC replacement.

I also think I’ll have to upgrade the HVAC. There are a few structural repairs that are necessary and those could become expensive. My plans will probably fall victim to the budget. My unit was in better shape than many but it still needs some TLC. Those investors have been selling off the units for several years now and new owners are improving the units. During the financial crisis a large percentage of the units were abandoned and several investors scooped them up as rental properties at 30% of market value. Several units were hit hard by flooding during Tropical Storm Allison. They offered a very good price so I bought the unit around the end of last year. The landlords weren’t interested at first but they came back to me a year later. I’ve gotten to know my neighbors and the area is nice. The price was good and the location is very close to my kids. I continued to rent for two years after my divorce was finalized. I had good landlords and they were happy to keep the rent stable since I handled maintenance myself. The rent was well below market for the area.

While going through my divorce I moved into a condominium.
