hausdok Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for finding that. I think that's a pretty worthwhile seminar to attend. As you've probably noticed, I'm adding the dates individually to our coming events calendar. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 For those of you who need a little bit of incentive to learn something new, even when it's a free seminar such as these, you might be interested in knowing that at certain locations for these seminars they'll be giving away a free Bucketboss toolbag to each attendee and, like John said, some locations are providing a free dinner.

Jim Morrison Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think John and Mike are positively terrific for telling us about this series of lectures. Further, I accept-no, more than that, I would promote- that adequate attic ventilation is an important component of overall building health. On the other hand, my HI experience, -which is woefully limited to the frosty Northeast,- tells me that most of the time it is no more than a second tier issue. I've seen thousands of poorly ventilated, fully-functioning attics. What do the rest of you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I see a lot of attics that are vented, not vented, and everything in between. The number that have had problems are teeny tiny, and if there was a problem, it was always related to a series of issues, not just the lack of ventilation. What happens w/the houses of the future that have no vents? No air exchanger = unhealthy IAQ, right? More engineered environments w/HRV's?

randynavarro Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Excellent information in "The JLC Guide to Moisture Control". Check this link as referenced in the book: www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/pdf1999/tenwo99a.pdf This book is a must read. The information is awesome.

hausdok Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Chad, Say it ain't so. Classic damage control technique; you've obviously been hanging around too many 'zoids. It's time for an intervention; somebody bring the jacks and the hot wax, I'll bring the used motor oil and the funnel, let's converge on Rochester and cure Chad before it's too late.

Chad Fabry Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Say it ain't so. Classic damage control technique; you've obviously been hanging around too many 'zoids. Hmmm, that hurt. It may have seemed like dodging but the fact is I'm still not sure it's incorrect to say "all a quiver". "Aquiver" is a relatively recent contraction/ combination of "a quiver". As for hanging around zoids...none of them has ever lasted more than a minute or two in my company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I couldn't pick out either of these guys in a police lineup even if the rest were pygmy headhunters. But this sounds entirely too Village People-ish for my comfort zone!

Chad Fabry Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I attended the Air Vent seminar this morning. The food was awesome...like a quality hotel breakfast/ brunch It started at 8:00 am sharp and it lasted exactly two hours...I like things that run on time The information was/is pretty beginner oriented. Seasoned vets will benefit only from contacts made, and the awesome food. (burp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks Chad, I was wondering whether I'd attend when it hit Seattle. Being often motivated by the noises I hear in my rather broad midsection, now it looks like I'll be attending. ONE TEAM - ONE BITE!!! M.
