I think others have pretty well covered it. But I will say these things: Are the garage doors insulated? How much insulation in the attic? Have you checked the mini-split for correct functioning? Is the m-s too small for the space. The exhaust fan is not a good idea. But a fan inside a closed...

Nostalgia knocks. Who answers?

Home inspectors - yuck. They put petty stuff in their report and totally disregard or miss important stuff.

What you call "a small handheld battery charger" might have been a jump box. We just got one. I bought my brother one about 3 years ago. (He and I get stranded in the backcountry over 1/2 of the times that I go to visit.) Brother has now bought one for his wife and all 3 of their sons. Battery...

I have a set of battery cables from Sears. Over 40 years old. Probably Diehard brand. They are very heavy duty. Probably not quite “industrial grade”, but the insulation is is still flexible after four decades in our various vehicles. Made in America meant something special … well, except until...

Are you Mr. Festool with some Bosch stuff? Or are you Mr. Bosch with some Festool stuff? Supposedly (according to members at Festool Owners Group website), the Festool miter saw stand is worth the money. I don't have an opinion (or a miter saw).

No to caulk. Mastic and fiberglass tape. Flamesuit on.

Some of those reviews are so stupid that I use the "Report" button and make a relevant comment, or just say it is off-topic. Is that stoopid of me?

Some tools are absolutely unique in their capabilities. Until patent runs out in some cases. Do you own any Festool or Mafell, for example?

Maybe one who shops at Harrible Fright?

I have been putting rigid insulating foam on inside of my garage door. Already had R38 blown into the garage attic.

But you won't get paid for all the aggravation. And now you are on notice that you have to double-question and triple-check everything. You might want to hire someone to shadow that electrician to make sure he doesn't cut any more corners on this. (That is a bit of a joke, but I am only 1/2...

There is a spring-winder tool that one can use with electric drill. I saw them on Amazon; and on Youtube. looks like it would work well and be worth the price.

Okay. Then maybe a chain drive arrangement connected to pedals? After all, that would be easy compared to the work you have already done. Would a man-powered prop-drive incur those dreaded fees?

Hmmm…. How about a trolling motor?

So what kind of good neighbor are you? The kind that keeps your thoughts to themself? OR the kind that helps your neighbor see where a problem might be waiting to bite them in the @$$?

I would suggest that you check out the Rapid Set product line. I think they make a lot of good formulae (right word?) and might have something that works for you. A special caution: they also sell a RETARDER. Don’t cheap out and skip that. Their products give you a very short application window...

Who ever said I had metal ductwork? In fact, the ducts were made out of that insulated ductboard and mastic. But thanks for trying to help with the situation.

Go ahead and assume. But I was speaking of actual kilowatts consumption.
