Summarize the following:
Leave at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) under the roof's plywood sheathing for adequate airing. There is nothing to staple with fiberglass batts.

summary: Press the fiberglass batts between the joists. Cover any gaps by cutting some scrap insulation that was not used and plug the holes.

iMessage requires a connection to the internet. If you can't load any web pages, something is wrong with your network connection and iMessage is not at fault. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting to the wireless network. You can also try to reboot your device. You can check the status of the iMessage service at apple.com/support/systemstatus/. Sometimes some of the iMessage settings may be causing problems with the service.  Open the Settings app on your iOS device and select "Messages". Ensure that "Send as SMS" is enabled. This will ensure that messages get sent as SMS texts if iMessage is unavailable. Tap the "Text Message Forwarding" option and disable all forwarding. Forwarding allows you to send and receive SMS on all of your iCloud devices, but has been known to cause problems. iMessage may not be able to activate and connect to the iMessage servers with the wrong date and time.  Open the Settings app and tap "General". Select "Date & Time" and then check that your location settings are correct. Sometimes a quick reboot will fix your iMessage issues. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on your iOS device. Use the Power slider to turn the device off. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button to turn the device back on. Sometimes a system restore is the only way to fix a problem with your iOS device. You can create a backup using iTunes and then load it after restoring to protect your data.  Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your iOS device from the top row of buttons. Click the Back Up Now button. This will create a backup of your iOS device on the computer. Click the Restore iPhone/iPad/iPod... button. Wait for your device to restore and reset. Select the backup you just created when setting up the device. Click here for more detailed instructions. Disable iMessage before switching phones or you may not be able to receive text messages from your old iMessage contacts.  If you still have your iPhone, open the Settings app and select "Messages". Toggle "iMessage" OFF. It may take a while for the iMessage servers to process the change. If you don't have the iPhone anymore, visit selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and enter your phone number. You'll receive an SMS on your new phone with the code. Enter the code into the second field on the site to turn off iMessage.

summary: Check your connection. Check your iMessage settings if you can't send regular texts. Check your date and time settings. Restart your device if messages are not sending or receiving. Perform a system restore if iMessage continues to not work. Disable iMessage if you're moving to a non-Apple phone.


Summarize the following:
Old plaster tends to break off the wooden lath easily, which makes installation much more difficult. If possible, mount electrical boxes next to a joist for a sturdier support. Be prepared to repair the plaster after installation. When working with lath and plaster, ask someone to help you by standing on the other side of the wall so you can both guide the wires. If there are horizontal fire blocks between studs, you have two options:  Use a flex bit to drill through the center of the fire block.  Or cut through the drywall at the fire block, and chisel out a notch ¾-inch wide x 1-inch deep (1.9 x 2.5 cm). Cover the notch with a metal nail plate after pulling the cable through. If the wall contains insulation, try to fish the wire between the outer paper or plastic cover and the wall. If there is no cover, press the wire against a stud and use it as a guide. While handling fiberglass insulation, wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask that covers your mouth and nose. If there is no way to avoid fishing your wire horizontally, you will likely need to cut through the drywall. A small cut with a penknife is usually enough to let you guide the wire through. In most cases, you will also need to drill through a wall stud as described below. If there is no open path for the wire, you may need to drill through wall studs or ceiling joists. Follow these guidelines to avoid causing structural damage:  Wall stud: drill through the center of the stud, using a maximum diameter of 60% of the stud's width (40% for load-bearing walls). Make sure you're at least 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) from the edge of the stud. Ceiling joist: center the hole vertically, not through the top or bottom 3" (5 cm). Avoid the ends of the joist as well as the middle third. The maximum diameter is ⅓ of the actual depth of the joist (not the depth as labeled). Vital support structures: Never drill through "glue lams" (laminated support beams), or through supports above doors, windows, or arches. Wiring through unprotected holes can allow a fire to spread rapidly between the floors of your house. If you drilled through a fire block in your wall, or through fire-resistant flooring material, seal up the holes with fire-resistant caulk or a similar product.
summary: Approach lath and plaster construction with caution. Drill through fire blocks. Thread wires past insulation. Cut through drywall for horizontal fishing. Drill through studs or joists as a last resort. Seal holes in fire blocks with fire-resistant caulk (recommended).
