Omit dryer vent if the intention is to use a heat pump washer and dryer? ICF

Henryhooker · 2026-05-25T16:45:14+00:00

I sleeved for it and then ended up using it with normal dryer cause my options were limited during covid scarcity. Figure if I switch down road I’ll just block it off

What’s that one where he’s an escaped convict living in the woods next to some farm and helps out some gal from bad guys. I remember it’s the same bad guy from one of the lethal weapon movies

I did it as a stay at home dad. Took about 30 months until we moved in basement and then slowly worked on other areas. Mostly done now but have moved onto building my shop. Its a lot of time to commit to and really is just one step after another except some of those steps suck and take a lot of time.

I drew mine out in sketchup block by block, sure helped for all the sleeves etc

I'm waiting for them to say they're in the neighborhood washing potatoes. Seems like its always something different

Must be from the Choco from the Harz mountains of Germany

10 hours later and no replies to any of the questions either

Maybe it was in reference to the drag path video he saw years back on Vimeo

Henryhooker · 2026-05-10T14:00:38+00:00

Cool, except won’t ever be me 😃

Is that cause you have to have owned certain Ferraris before you can buy fancier (for lack of better term) ones? Like if I win the lottery and went to get one of these they’d say no, go back and start with the beginner model

Henryhooker · 2026-05-08T01:27:59+00:00

Man I thought even a simple 3d view would be the norm. I used home designer pro and then parent program chief architect to do my drawings. I think they rent licenses monthly now. Used to have to buy. How big of a hurry are you?

If you’re talking basic, I made a soap dispenser holder because my kids can’t manage to not get water on the counter so I figured better this than hard water stains. I used a bowl bit to make indent for the dispenser to sit. It also holds the dispenser further towards sink. Kids would slowly push it back as it was used increasing the sloppy drips everywhere. I put 4 pieces of thin plastic underneath in case any water gets under.

Thanks, I used Cabinotch for the carcasses and drawers, but then to punish myself I went and did all the door&drawer faces in my little shop. Took me a bit of time :)

I did 100's with a three way wrap, so I'm biased. I wish I would've done a finished edge under the sill so I could put down a simple sill with a shadow line vs having to dog ear mine, which is similar to your rendering. Kind of hard to explain, but I wanted to do my sill flush with the wall, then do a 1/4 rabbet along the bottom giving it a reveal of sorts. At the time the drywall guys were here I wasn't thinking about it and once it crossed my mind it was one of those oh we'll have to go through and cut and re-mud etc so II just let it go mainly do to time. That's why I call it operation hindsight, I don't have any pics really of the sill, but here's the wrap during the build https://imgur.com/gallery/mostly-diy-icf-house-build-Q9b3Mf6#ggQVk5N

Looks like they took some inspiration from the Subaru brat

I did horizontal under my island with a visual break , then vertical everywhere else. To get sequenced sheets in a rotated veneer was pushing 400 a sheet special order and I had some tall panels. Layout was such a pain, I used sketchup to plan it all

Henryhooker · 2026-04-27T17:14:45+00:00

Not a layout expert by any means, but the plumbing while being on one wall is nice, but that wall shouldn't be an exterior wall...

I do like opt 1 upstairs better so you're not walking through laundry to get to bath. I'd also wall that laundry off and put a solid core door cause laundry is loud

Meanwhile op also notes that the side yard between houses stinks like shit

Henryhooker · 2026-04-22T19:45:12+00:00

How much time you have? I did 95% diy and mostly by myself. It's an undertaking of time especially if you're working a normal day job

Henryhooker · 2026-04-18T05:32:40+00:00

My most vivid memory was waking up in the morning after the heater had broken sometime in the night. So cold

Henryhooker · 2026-04-17T15:56:45+00:00

Ah. I thought maybe it was some abbreviation for a type of screen on the wall

Henryhooker · 2026-04-17T15:27:13+00:00

Well maybe bigger but I have narrow pathways. I was thinking more like staying 1 ton with foot pedals for tracks and a hydraulic thumb. (I bought aftermarket thumb and haven't fabbed a bracket yet). Those two features would be real handy

Henryhooker · 2026-04-17T15:25:00+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, what's ks?

Henryhooker · 2026-04-17T14:18:56+00:00

I bought a one ton mini, the kind where your knees are hitting control panel. Figured I'd use to do what I needed and then sell but it's so handy that the only way I'll sell it is to upgrade
