can you share more and show some pics on how you mounted up the reznor? Is it suspended with wire running into eyebolts?

Did I ask you about your lights already? you like em?

You need to make the Lift King on Arbour Vista Rd an offer he can't refuse. Triple attached with at least two lifts in it already. Parking for 8-9 cars plus ample street parking on the corner lot.

whoa - looks amazing. I think the beast's recommendation here also highlights a strong option I've not got a lot of experience to back up: stay in Brooklyn or another one of the boroughs. a LOT of...

the staten island ferry is also a great free way to get a view of statue of liberty, and you can pair that with some more walking around the financial district. fondle the bull's balls, see some IB...

Maybe others will disagree, but there's zero chance I'd willingly stay near times square, regardless of itinerary in Manhattan/NYC. I'd much sooner stay on the lower east side, chelsea, etc, and...

RIP gas mileage. I've thought about it on my last few trucks but everyone I've spoken with complains about 10mpg or worse even when you stay out of the throttle

Congrats on moving forward to the next stage - exciting to see the progress. I love these updates, keep em comin'.


I'll put in a guess at around $20k. You're doing a ton of foam, and I figure...

the weather gods sure shone on you and spikerS this fall. Lookin good

what a milestone! congrats, looking good.

landscaping is nice. Cool to see a spec build w/ real thought & effort into that. Windows into the garage a fun touch. Otherwise a lot of the interior choices are not to my taste.

What’s the latest hotness for garage lighting? I’ve got 700sqft to get bright as fck

The knee brace you have on the door wall is weird. I understand the point of a knee brace to be to reduce racking, but; what racking are you expecting in that direction? I have no basis to decide...

Continuing this thread derail, I found this receipt from the good 'ol days when the cost of lumber was basically free.

I think you're missing the question tho. How are you dealing with air circulation?

The answer, ThePenIsMightier, is the "LifeBreath" branded HRV tucked into the trusses and visible in the first...

imo just a blow job is all you need

it's super satisfying hearing the bucket splash and knowing another one is biting the dust, tbh

DIY bucket with a scrap piece of copper 1/2" tubing and an old pop can smeared with peanut butter was catching upwards of 5 per night for me at our cottage.

had a genuinely war-crimes level mass...

well i definitely relate to the "competing sources of heat" challenge, i just solve it caveman style, i turn off, or set low, the forced air for the zone w/ radiant heat.

I too enjoy the "warm to...

killramos why do you need floor temp sensors? I've done vanilla nest (i.e. reading the ambient air temp) to control radiant floor heat, and it's worked fine.

I've been contemplating ecobee but my...

you're sprayfoaming right onto the roof sheathing yea? So the attic is a conditioned space?

the fuck, i thought an rs6 was 130k. how many avocado toasts am i gonna have to skip to afford this fuckin thing smh

eblend are you able to share where you bought these shims?

I've got a need to mount a hose reel on my hardieboard and I think this was a really elegant way to do it.

Presumably you weren't able...

6.xx per kwh until next october. It'll be interesting to see where rates are then.

No regrets on our gemstone setup. The app is cheesy but it's great not having to fuck around putting stuff up or down.

Been super happy with our napoleon travelQ. Had it since the early covid days. https://www.napoleon.com/en/ca/barbecues/products/portable-grills/travelq-series/travelq-285-tq285-rd-1

Ordered myself a Tazer DT; primarily for the benefit of auto-folding power mirrors and getting rid of the annoying 22+ 3-honk alert that signals every time you step out of the vehicle with it...

we use a Wilson booster on a rural property, but it's really just to recover enough signal strength to place and receive calls.

It's a simple device, works "okay"... but I'd recommend wifi calling...

I've got three zones on a simple variable speed goodman and it's been pretty good. What do you find as a downside to your 3 zone system?

i thought if it was too hot, the herbicide evaporates making it less effective? jeez. I dont know what to think anymore

To state the obvious: what would worry me deeply are photos like this one. I'd be hiring a geotechnical survey.

I once upon a time bought a trailer from that place's neighbours. And we have friends that live on the street. It's a nice spot. I don't have anything constructive to add about that particular home's...

honestly pretty solid for the money imo.

very nice

I think the learning process is more about it understanding the starting current draw / load curve for your specific A/C unit under regular power, so it can plan appropriately how much "assistance"...

Wife has been saying she wants a new vehicle. I could buy her this but it would feel like
