Is there blown in insulation that is waterproof that could be used? Assuming if i used standard blown in insulation it would mold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you referring to the standard pink board? I was hoping for something more discreet that would blend in if possible

There is pretty roughly 10” above soil. I wasn’t sure how to insulate it or if it would provide much value but was curious.

Background - I bought a house in Indiana built in 2004 with an 800 sq ft finished basement; however, after living in the house several years I have determined there is no insulation on the interior concrete walls, just drywall. The temperature drops to ~57 degrees in winter. It does have three...

Unfortunately, I have no clue what they used previously. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been looking at the Magnum Project Painter Plus. I have zero experience with paint sprayers though. I’m looking at these because using one of the handhelds ones with the smaller containers seems like a PIA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks - I was considering SW, but the reviews I’m reading don’t seem great. Especially when you consider the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys - I need to restain my fence and I need advice on what product to buy. The previous homeowner built/stained the fence and it is time for a fresh coat. They used an orangish colored stain, which we don’t care for, so the plan is to cover it with a dark brown. Hence me going with a...

I added insulation to my door 9 months ago and have had zero issues. I have a standard 16’ Aluminum door though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ended up going Larson and dont regret it. Easy installation and it has held up perfectly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also have a Simpson unit and decided to purchase a turbo nozzle and a pressure regulator that attaches to the wand. I would recommend looking into both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This tech also said the builder used a cheap inside coil (not Trane) and that is why it failed prematurely. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok - so I have two quotes. First is from a local company that is highly regarded. Have a 2 man crew that do all their installs. Quote will replace AC unit with Trane XR13 3 ton $3,741 or XR14 heat pump for $4,600. Both include replacing inside coil. Detail from them below. Based on his load...

What will that repair cost all in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am leaning towards replacing the unit bc even if it gets fixed for $1k I could obviously have more problems in the near future. It’s definitely a tough call, but I dont want to throw good money after bad. I am getting a quote for a new unit tomorrow, guessing it will be $3,500ish. Tons of...

He said he hooked up a gauge and it had essentially no refrigerant in the line. He said to do the nitrogen leak test it would cost $500 (plus coat for new refrigerant - think it was around $140/lb), so i told him not to go down that path until I could think it over. He wouldnt just add...

I have never had it filled in the three years I have lived here. It worked last summer. I’m not familiar with what he did exactly, but he measured the refrigerant and said the number was very low....18 if I recall. He said the next test to find the leak would be using nitrogen, but it would...

AC guy just left and said I have zero refrigerant in my system. My options are to do a leak test/repair/fill and that will be at least $800-$1,000 depending on where the leak is. I have the "old" refrigerant. He is recommending a new unit. Ugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do the benefits of getting all new now trump the savings of getting 5 additional years out of the furnace? Also, when the furnace goes out, can I just replace it individually? Not being snarky, I’m genuinely asking. Replacing a furnace that is working well is a tough pill to swallow. However...
