Dewalt makes a number of reciprocating saws. I hgave at least 4 different models. Many of them have more power than I want. As an electrician. Change role to GC, which I do and have license for, and it's a different discussion for a different tool and scope of work.

Spray the 2" if they will stand behind the job. The vapor characteristics and R-Value don't seem ultra important in this build

Go as thin as they will apply/ warranty. You need something, but not much.

We always offer water, soda, and beer (if the boss approves) Primarily to our landscapers. I think they figured out to come here later in the day for those reasons. For any one-time services, we usually throw $20 to each person. (Appliance delivery, or something of the sort) I am a...

This is the only reliable detector I've used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008M6YLF4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 And I still don't "trust" it for critical situations.

I try to do 4 speakers in larger rooms. My house has a higher end system, and with 4 speakers in the corners, say in the kitchen, you are always have a Left/ Right, regardelss of where you are standing or sitting. The biggest benefit is great sound at a lower volume. You can carry a...

I'll just add that I did a lot of 'basic' home theater and whole house audio over the past 25 years. I'm not an expert. But one of the many things I learned is that "sound is sound" A great set of speakers from the '70's or '80's stil sounds great today. (Unlesxs they are blown out) There...

This is whqat I'd have replied. Basic receiver Which you can connect to phone or laptop and a couple of freestanding speakers. Can probably get killer sound from a marketplace sale. I have a BT receiver and wired in-ceiling speakers. But that is arguably overkill. 4 speakers in a small...

Your suggestion is what I'd have suggested. Airflow sensor that pulls in the booster fan. Regardless of how the upstream fans are wired, airflow will pull on the booster fan. Pretty simple setup. Of course it could be done with relays such that any one fan pulls in the auxiliary fan, but that...

And the OP is a great example of why many do work without permits. Granted, I'm not advocating the need for a permit for a window replacement, but it's the law where I am.

I'm a full time building commissioner. I'd allow the window in the OP, regardless of anything else that has been posted. Just FWIW.

IDK. I've been using corded and cordless sawzalls for 40 plus years. I like the medium duty, fairly lightweight ones for my work. (Electrical) For demo, I do have 1-2 super sawzalls. My guys like the hackzalls for cutting conduit and lighter work. I still prefer the traditional sawzall

Almost 25 years ago, I tossed a couple of Penofin soaked rags in an empty trashbarrel, in my garage, next to a brand new car, somewhat aware of spontaneious combustion. I'd have never put them in a barrel with trash. They went up, but we smelled the smoke quick enough that nothing bad...

Well that is my guess. I can't remember one bad AFI in recent years, and not 2 in a row with the 3rd time being the charm.

Agreed. If the wiring inspector doesn't feel it's hazardous, make the decision as a homeowner whether you want to upgrade things.

Others posted this point already. 2 bad AFCI breakers? What are the odds? I'm betting the electrician found something he did, and 'bad breaker' was easiest explanation.

Why's that? MW sign exclusive with HD or something like that?

Also, for the cost, I'd have 2, for redundancy.

I'd have called FD, as PC said. Unless you slept with the windows wide open. I recently saw a photo of a 95% clogged water heater vent that had a dead squirrel in it. It would periodically set off the CO detector, eventually they found the cause. I think they may have seen the PVC vent...

That is my choice. I used the ones that go in before the siding with sort of a j-channel around it, but that's for my vinyl siding.
