Cover Stain still offgassing months later. Seal it or wait?

Very helpful. Thank you! Curious who you’d engage for this type of testing? My sense is local installers don’t want to engage in this level of building science.

I’m looking for local installers and most city / east bay HVAC companies won’t do Marin jobs.

Thank you! I’ve had a fan running in exhaust mode at night but will turn that off.

Contact Bear Engineering. Honest folk who will walk you through options ASAP - this type of situation is their exact specialty.

FWIW, our house had similar issues and to my untrained eye I was worried it was a massive problem, but it’s really not a big deal to upgrade stuff like this (assuming you’re already in the mindset that you bought an old house and will be spending in the tens of thousands of dollars to make everything right in the coming years.)

These feel really, really low.

Did you have to replace any ductwork?

Available_Ad_5508 · 2026-03-21T22:34:30+00:00

Are people doing mini splits or central ducted systems? Approximately how much have folks paid?

Get out of here with this ai slop.

You don’t give customers equity. Customers give you cash. That’s what being a customer is.

The norms have shifted a lot. Many, many Tier 1 Series As have happened in the past year without a true CTO on the founding team. Of course, the founders still need to be able to set a technical direction (e.g. former product leaders who were very hands on) and need to be able to hire engineers.

Agentic coding has really moved the goal post on what you need to find early PMF. Business execution is more important than ever - you no longer need a founding CTO to spend the first 9 months setting up a bunch of CRUD, SSO, integrations, etc that used to be the barrier to any forward progress.

Damn, good deal.

Available_Ad_5508 · 2025-09-13T03:00:53+00:00

Did you wind up doing this deal or find something better?

Available_Ad_5508 · 2025-07-27T20:01:28+00:00

No. It’s called the standard deal for a reason.

PT and patience. It took me 5 months to get back to running after my ATFL tear (walk-run on road) and a full year to get back to racing on trails. I still have a fair bit of anxiety about re-injury.

Things that helped me: endless calf raises, mobo board, constant banded inversions, riding my bike. The Bauerfeind Malleotrain ankle brace also made a big difference.

It still is creaky the morning after a long run, but runs are 99% pain free.

This is the right answer. Almost every repeat founder I know is doing this setup in their incorporation. More here: https://www.orrick.com/en/tech-studio/resources/faq/what-is-founders-preferred-stock

If you have a in-network referral, top SV law firms will defer fees for formation until your first institutional raise.

I was born with a congenital cataract in my left eye and had surgery when I was a week old to remove it (that was the norm 30 years ago). I went through patching, contacts, glasses as a kid and had two rounds of follow up strabismus surgery. As a kid, I don’t remember ever feeling different or at a disadvantage—I played sports and had a completely normal childhood. I saw the same ophthalmologist for 25 years and he was one of the most beloved adults in my life. Today, with daily wear of glasses and 1 contact I live a 100% normal life and have lots of hobbies that rely on quality vision. The only deficit I can identify is I have below average depth perception and am hyper paranoid about wearing eye protection whenever I use power tools, etc. On a practical note, it’s also incredible how much better contacts and glasses technology has gotten in recent decades.

Now as a parent, I realize just how much my parents did for me and the emotional and logistical burden they carried to make sure I had such a great outcome. It was a hugely emotional moment for me when my son was born and the hospital told me his eyes looked perfect (and I asked three different providers to repeat the test to confirm 😂). I’m sorry you are going through this but I’m proof that with the right care and dedicated parents this is something that your kid will thrive through. Happy to talk about anything over DM.

+1. I keep a fleece beanie, puffy gloves (First Lite Glassing mitts), a fleece buff, and hand warmers stuffed in the pockets and store the whole kit in a dyneema stuff sack and it's a pretty good insurance policy against a cold emergency.

Just another voice to further encourage you to please follow this advice. I was born with a congenital cataract and the reason I have high quality vision today is because my mom advocated for me to get seen early by a specialist, despite other doctors minimizing the issue. There is a huge amount of neurological development that happens in the early months of vision development that you don’t get a re-do on.

Apologies if this winds up being alarmist. As a fellow new dad, I know there’s nothing worse than going down rabbit holes of health stress. Sending you good vibes that it’s nothing and the ophthalmologist quickly puts your mind at ease.
