The Miracle Tank

[vetteguy53081]

My wife and I went out for a drive to see the changing autumn leaves when we noticed that one of our tires seemed to be low on air. We stopped at a gas station to fill it up. The wife was a bit taken aback when I asked her for some change. She asked, “Why in the world did they start charging for AIR?!” I looked at her and winked, “Inflation.”

i feel like i moved into town from twilight zone :rolleyes: get this ,lumber yards open at 5 close at 3,gun range does not open until 10:00??? o_O,yep i got bored already:p,
@Fin know your liking open concept ceiling,have you considered the expanding "like great stuff" forget name atm insulation,lord forbid again!! but would help in number of ways ,cooling,water damage in case like now:(,help hold together in ..just hate to say,another storm,but is costly:)

When we remodeled our old house in Lido Florida we used “closed cell foam insulation”. It is water proof and made a huge difference with the cooling bill. It also gave a bit of a boost in selling it.

We plan to do that same thing with the new to us house in Stuart, as the large ceilings and such are getting redone sometime this winter. It has the “starry popcorn” look lol. Plus if a cane comes through, no worry on leaks or removing it.

If you are referring to spray in insulation, do NOT use this on a new build (Including renovations) unless you let your house dry out during the build process beforehand or all the lumber in the walls of the renovation is older and already dried out.

Just a little info for those considering it.

Stunning.

This is correct. Forgot that tidbit, but sure is the truth. The company we used even ran a massive dehumidifier for 2 days before we had it sprayed and the house was built in the 50s and had no leaks or water damage.

We did a drywall job on a 2 million dollar cottage and they sprayed it without letting the studs dry out first. Every single stud had twisted and split the foam. We drywalled in the winter and you could feel the feezing cold draft on every stud as we boarded it all up. Told the contractor and he just said close it up. :rolleyes:

Just think, 2 weeks ago one of these gals of mine was wondering aimlessly in the field minding her own business. She then got loaded in the trailer and is now my meal. She was good cow, but a mans gotta eat.

Then

Also can be too airtight and when temp changes cause condensation the moisture can't evaporate and will completely sweat & mold a brand new home.

This is the true purpose of an HRV, they were designed to prevent exactly this problem when installed properly (Key term here being properly). :)
