And the best fucking part is my wife hates the houses location even though it’s fucking Primo (5 minutes away from the best public school in Alabama) /rant
What's your venting situation? My old house had a straight rigid vent that went from the wall to the outside. A drill attachment would work great there. My new one does a 90 degree angle to the roof. I'd rather pay someone to mess with that imo. I've heard the drill versions can break inside
IV has a lovely house in a great neighborhood. It's just not as close to stuff as his wife is used to. It's up by the high school so not as quick a trip to Crestline, MB Village, EV, Homewood, or Downtown/Avondale/Lakeview. Still not far though.
Her feelings also seem to wax and wane with the rolling 7 day average of Covid cases so the ultimate outcome remains to be seen
It looks like my backyard drainage issues may have been resolved by my massive trimming/removal project. And my roofer thinks the roof that the sellers thought was 20 years old may only be 10-15. I can't even imagine the disaster that's looming to balance out 2 pieces of good news
As the owner of two different cordless Dyson cordless vacuums I can report to everyone that they are terrible.
I support this post. Never will I buy one again. Replaced mine 3 times under warranty and just threw the fucker out. Recycled the battery. Not sure I have one positive thing to say about it. I do love our corded ball animal though.
I just bought a cheap $40 Eureka from Home Depot and that thing sucks pretty good. Only have carpet in 3 rooms in the house so not investing in an expensive one. Hopefully putting wood down next year to eliminate tue need entirely.
Yep we have the same corded Dyson and love it. Briefly considered the cordless and the reviews are pretty bad.
Worst part is that when it does actually work, it smells like absolute shit. Horrible design and nothing I did was able to overcome that.
My use case is a few minute burst on hardwoods to clean up after a little crumb monster wrecks dinner. For that, the Dyson is awesome.
Anyone have a good skylight cover rec? Our living room is hot as heck now. Any answers including shingles or drywall will result in one (1) knuckle sandwich
Got the Dyson cordless for pet hair and its good on hardwoods, terrible on everything else. And battery sucks ass. I generally like Dyson products but that is whatever. iRobot was worth every penny on prime day. Esp being able to map out the home.
Yeah, my Dyson cordless is great for its purpose which is to get pet hair off hardwoods that the robo vacuum missed. I can see how it's battery would be bad if you were using it for the whole house.
Don't know if there are skylight specific solutions but I do know there are ceramic tints out there that don't darken the room much, if at all, but block UV rays from heating up the house. My parents have it on a 14ft long window in their south facing kitchen and their floors and counters are cool to the touch in the summer. Prior to the tint it basically baked their floors and cabinets.
dyson does great for our size place thats no carpet if you have some giant house it obviously won't replace a full vacuum though
Temporarily remove skylight. Pull house out from underneath. Discard skylight and install new house. Kidding, the tint idea sounds cool. I installed a skylight (against my better judgement, as always) about 35' up in the air on a 12/12 roof a couple of weeks ago. This task is now on the "I will not do this again" list. Either pick bad idea or dangerous, not both.
Replace skylight with VELUX solar skylight that has built in shade that auto closes when too hot inside :) youre welcome.
I was actually prepared to do something like this until I learned my roof had some life... prefer to do that at once. I have assessed my budget and have decided to go with a nice black spray paint
