If you have a little extra AC capacity, put in a return to the basement and a fan with ducting to suck air out of the basement and blow it into living space, and let your main AC do the dehumidifying.
I put prefinished hardwood in. The dogs absolutely distressed/destroyed it with their nails. I recently put LVP in my bathrooms that resemble tile. It looks and performs great, and is way tougher than real wood. I personally would go with LVP.
It was a true tragedy, and an example of nature can take anything man can build and more.
Know the difference in a blonde and the Titanic? They know how many men went down on the Titanic. Too soon? 🤣
They used to pour the footings first, maybe some pier holes for heavy loads in specific areas, then come back later and pour the slab. They do monolithic pours now, meaning they pour the footings and slab all at once. I used to help rough in the plumbing with my dad’s plumbing business. I...
That's great you turned things around, and made amends with your family. Thanks for sharing, and giving me some hope he can indeed change. I think he's at that point of losing literally everything and being on the street, but he has to choose.
Right, I've been called cold hearted and hateful, not a family man (I have 3 kids that I see daily to weekly), all because I have refused to give them anymore money. It is a go to method of manipulation to play on your emotions, which I don't have those either evidently :lol:.
This is...
Anyone care to share about a family member they have cut off all communication with? I have a sibling that can't find a job with a search warrant, and literally quits jobs he does land within a few weeks to months due to a laundry list of reasons. There's decades of begging for money (not...
People who make poor decisions would go to the gun store reeking of MJ. Do they have a right to protect themselves with a firearm? I think so. He set himself up for failure though.
Sad day, so sorry for your loss of pets and possessions. Looking at the pics, that was one heck of a fire. Feel blessed to have made it out, and you know it's not your time.
Once these built up cities run out of room, then eminent domain kicks in. They get bribed to take valuable property from individuals, for the common good of course.
If we could only go back to mailing letters and correspondence, pay phones, reading maps to navigate, etc. Happy working people are................ just happy. More technology, more stuff, more money than enough doesn't make people "happier", it makes us slaves. The bombardment of...
We build nice towns and capable infrastructure with our taxes, then our local elected leaders insatiable appetite for money leads them down the federal crap hole. The Fed's grant nice cities money they collected from us, or printed, but there are some very bad strings attached. Federal money...
Tough times make tough men. That young man knows how things are at his home, and how things should be by experiencing your home. When he becomes responsible for his own home, he likely won't repeat how he was raised. My dad grew up in poverty with a 7th grade education, and he swore his...
Gas exclusively to heat anything (furnace, water, stove, dryer). I've had both, and electric can and will get it done, but gas is the standard for many reasons, but it is simply efficient and easy.
