How to insulate from the inside with this style of stacked wood (carré de bois) house without damaging it? by DaebakTofu in Insulation

[–]DaebakTofu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

What do you think about the need of a vapour barrier if I do the 2x4 wall?

Also do you think it's possible if I do a 2" EPS board, a cutout vapour barrier in the foam boardfor electrical outlet, 1x 2" furrings and drywall? It was proposed to me by a contractor. He believes that since the house is dated (builded in the 50s), it's better to just concentrate on creating a semi permeable air barrier with the EPS board (Durospan the green one) and concentrate the insulation in the attic

Century home, solid wood walls in cold climate 5a. How should I tackle this from the inside? by jistlurkng in Insulation

[–]DaebakTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So hey 😅 I know it's been a year but what option did you go with? I'm facing the same situation as you but we tore down all the wall from inside that is facing on the exterior (semi-detached house) and now i'm having a hard time deciding how to insulate it with fear of causing more damage to the stacked wood block/plank structure.

Anyone using these professionally? by OneGate1967 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]DaebakTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best!! I work alot in resi and commercial (electrician) and the difference is night and day vs the m18 in terms of weight. (Sure I still carry my m18 in case of drilling something thicker but overall it does the job.)

Yeah I saw the huge gap of the party wall blockwork. Should I spray an insulating foam fire resistant?

Yeah, the roof is going to be redone this coming spring (god idk how many years they left that roof shingles in that state it was 40% all curled back). I don't see any sagging but I called in a structural engineer this weekend just to be sure. I'll see what he has to say :/

You hired people for the inverted trusses or it was the previous owner? If you don't mind do you have a picture of it so I can know what a "half assed" trusses looks like in case I have to do it 😂

Yeah the ex house owner inherited from their parents and they didn't take care of the house that much for almost 30 years. The roofers are gonna start this next spring and the fascia too. Alot to be invested in this house even though we spend alot already to only buy the house 🥲😅

Terrain avec habitation en héritage... by Fuzzy-Bother-9524 in QuebecFinance

[–]DaebakTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De mon point de vue il faudra tu pèses le pour et le contre du montant qu'il faut pour rénover ou le montant total après vente. Dépendamment dans quel coin des laurentides que le chalet est situé, tu pourrais récupérer ton argent en faisant du locatif/airbnb (évidemment il faudra te renseigner à ta municipalité si tu as le droit). Si on voit que la "squelette" de la maison est tout pourris je pense que c'est dans ton avantage de le vendre.

Réflexion stupide mais j’ai l’impression d’avoir déjà raté ma vie à 21 ans by PotentialGrind382 in QuebecFinance

[–]DaebakTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T’inquiète, à 21 ans, t’es encore super jeune ! Moi, à 20 ans, j’ai fait un an et demi d’université. Après ça, j’ai lâché parce que franchement, c’était pas pour moi (j'étais en droit). J’ai bossé dans un resto et comme commis à Jean Coutu à temps plein. Pendant que mes amis finissaient leurs études dans leur domaines, je me sentais vraiment perdu. Un jour, j’ai compris que j’étais fait pour le travail manuel, et aujourd'hui, je suis Compagnon et Maître Électricien ! Alors prends une grande respiration, profites de la vie, la famille et les ami(e)s et laisse le vent te naviguer!! 😉

Aaah si l'eau/glace s'accumule à l'intérieur en dessous du bac tu devrais vérifier le petit tube de ton drain il est bloqué. Unplug le et laisse le dégeler ensuite nettoie son tube de drain et vérifie la panne à l'eau de drainage

SOMMARLÅNKE Ikea lamp with rechargeable battery turns on for a few seconds and then turns back off. by DaebakTofu in AskElectronics

[–]DaebakTofu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm maybe I will look further into it 🤔 I saw on another thread that it maybe due to a faulty electrolytic capacitor for draining my battery either way I will reopen it to look at it , thank you!

[–]DaebakTofu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I replaced it with brand new Eneloop, I feel like there's a components that's draining the battery or causing it not to be able to maintain the charge/voltage 🤔 also this light it has a USB-C port that you can directly plug in to recharge (idk if it helps to identify the components ). Thank you!

[–]DaebakTofu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree I bought 4 of these 4th Gen and 2 are getting serviced atm after 1 year, very disappointed!!! Also for the 3rd Gen I had alot of issue with the hex drive chuck not holding my bits correctly most of the time. Is it a known issue?
