  1. Mike, you should refrain from the wd-40. Maybe change over to dry gas.
  2. Just what is "wet" gas anyway?
  3. But, this would be the most logical way to deter injustices. Uh huh, Saudi Arabia. Hand for theft plus jail time. Public floggings, stonings and beheadings for certain other crimes. If you kill someone and are tried and found guilty, and your victim didn't have an adult child to carry out sentence, they jail you until one of the kids reaches maturity and then that kid gets to carry out sentence by putting a bullet in the back of your head. While you await sentence, your family must pay for your meals and all of your upkeep in the lockup. Kewl, huh? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike I wonder if their prisons are over crowded. Sounds like after the crime, the burnden on society is over.
  4. Ah, true. To do it all again.....
  5. But, this would be the most logical way to deter injustices.
  6. I agree with the electrician and Richard. I would eliminate the fan motor first if this wasn't a problem until recently. I have found AFCI to be finicky with fan motors more than once.
  7. I would vote for the latter, since turning the clock back would put me carrying them up the ladder.
  8. Radon test. Visually: is it operating, wired properly, vent above roof line, away from windows, securely mounted, etc. I think the specs. may be on the epa link noted above. "Done in a workmanlike manner"
  9. Someone needs to explain that to the manufacturers.
  10. The IRC requires 40-80.
  11. Check your appliances for water pressure ratings. Usually they aren't much more than 70 psi for a maximum and about 20 for minimum.
  12. www.nrsb.org is another good one.
  13. So, this must be why I feel so bloated after being in one of these places?[?]
  14. Check with your state health dept. They may have a list like NY does.
  15. Why? My biggest question about closed cell has always been, about condensation. How does moisture dissipate? What about the difference between the indoor and outdoor climate? The moisture can't dissipate, but if the cavity is full of closed cell there is no place for the condesation to take place. There is no air to condensate moisture from, or very little anyway.
  16. Sounds like an experiment to me. The manufactures might like to know the outcome of this one.
  17. I have R-21 in 6" walls with R-48 blown overhead, built in 08 and it's been very reasonable to heat. If I want to make changes or modifications later, I don't have to deal with the foam mess. I think if I were going to foam, I would consider going all the way and do the whole house with ICF's instead of conventional framing. Maybe next time.
  18. What Randy said. R-21 batts are not much more costly than R-19. Properly detailed construction will not leak much air, and R-21 would perform as well as the proposed idea, without the concern of a double vapor barrier. Foam is a lot more costly and is probably the reason for the idea posted.(Trying to get the best of both worlds) In my opinion there would be no benefit, but possible trouble. Use one system or the other.
  19. I'd settle for good sleep.
  20. Trial and error test. Let us know how it goes.
  21. I'm curious about the rest of the house. Is the wall at the other end of the home leaning too?
  22. Turn around and put a .45 in it.[:-grumpy]
  23. Bad question written by the mis-informed.
  24. Makes me think of Seven, the garden dust to kill or keep bugs off garden plants. Maybe the homeowner was doing his own exterminating?
  25. You're right. I recognize them when I see them, but I always want to put the spring in the AAV. I guess that is my head wanting more justification for the higher price. Thanks for getting me back on track.
