Looking for suggestions on how to lower humidity in the house. 12 year old house, 2 story 3200 sq ft. I’ve been here 5 years. New HVAC systems (two systems, one for each floor) 3 years ago(Bosch). 2 years ago I had the crawl space encapsulated and dehumidifier installed. Humidity stays around...

I have a portable AC that works fine in the house but not in the garage. AC unit has an LCDI and GFCI built into the plug. When I plug it into any plug with a GFCI, after a few minutes (usually when the compressor kicks in) it pops the GFCI on the outlet (just the outlet. The wine on the plug...

I’ve has a couple repair folks come to the house and they used a thin white plastic sheet placed under the appliance to move it around. The only thing I can find similar is on scamazon for $50-$75. Any body use something similar that I can find cheaper?

Anybody have any experience with them?

House came this way. Concrete slopes into garage. The shallow area tends to fill with water. I plan on adding a channel drain in front of the door the full length of the door filling in the low area, but I’m also looking for a temporary fix. I was thinking some self leveling concrete in the low...

Anybody try them?

Any thoughts on these? Takes a while for hot water to get to taps. Auto correct sux.

I'm buying a new garage (with attached house) and the entry to the garage has a slight slope towards the garage. I'm thinking of putting a drain across the front of the garage to move any water away from the house. It's a two car side load setup. I'm thinking a 5x20 or so section needs to be...

Cover over AC lines as they exit the house

Cant quite get the pics to show but you can click on them and see. So, I'm not an expert on the subject but as I was walking through a new construction home I noticed the location of these air vents in the upstairs area and it just didn't look right. One has 3 outlets within 4' of each other on...
