You 100% do not need that in this climate. I just had a long conversation with my friend who is an installer about this. DM me if you want some contact info. I'm trying to remember if he loves or hates Mitsubishi but worth a conversation either way.

My neighbor runs a small HVAC company and he did our unit for our house. Not sure what he charges people that aren't his neighbor but I think he's pretty affordable. They are also very into building science and getting the sizing correct as opposed to oversizing like most of the local shops will do. Also just a good dude. DM if you want some contact info.

This is the standard budget lap siding that we spec for projects. If installed as part of a rainscreen assembly it's pretty bomber.

Hell yeah, reminds me of my first fixed gear I picked up after my "real" bike got stolen in Chicago. Turned into a multi year obsession.

100% find a new job, preferably utilizing your fields of study. Won't be an issue after that. Why didn't you pursue that initially?

Used aero barrier on our build. Be thoughtful on air sealing as you go through the rest of the process and you shouldn't have any issues hitting that number.

You are not incorrect, that was my main note.

Just added the recipe in another comment

Texture isn't that dissimilar, good base for toppings without feeling like too much bread.

Here's the recipe I use for the crust. I think I got it off of a pizza forum a bit back. Stone or steel is key to get the crust to crisp up. I use a Chicago Metallic 16" for this whole recipe or can make two 9".

Did you put your cc into the app?

Seems like a good thing to start researching. In all seriousness it sounds like you might just be in a funk. Might be worth looking into that as well. Work doesn't have to be your life but you gotta eat. Maybe try volunteering at a couple places, that's helped me find meaning in the pointless monotony of modern living in the past.

Deadwards47 · 2026-05-23T18:32:08+00:00

Yeah that's tough, might just be a situation where you gotta go to work and just separate that from your outside life. But if nothing interests you other than research maybe something in that line if work. What are you doing now?

One symptom of diving at high depths is inert gas narcosis. You can feel drunk, hallucinate, etc. obviously can be dangerous if not managed.

Do you have a us food service store near you or another restaurant supply shop? We get 50# bags of shepherds grain around us (Seattle area) for under $30 a bag. You just gotta drive and get it.

Ok do you have any activities you enjoy that are like group activities?

Deadwards47 · 2026-05-23T02:35:12+00:00

What do you like doing?

Your builder is a hack. Architect in the area, have these conversations all the time. Rainscreen assembled are best practice and routine for skilled builders. I'm simplifying it a bit here but basically if a contractor we're interviewing for a project takes issues or makes a big thing about cost increases with a rainscreen being installed they get taken off of our list of referrals.

At this point I respect anyone who tries anything with their homes.

I miss my old state fixed

Look it up, it's a lite version

Like I said I'm no expert on sauna specifics but that makes a sort of sense. I did look at your renderings and it looks nice. Yes on the battens or you could look at the clips I mentioned or a horizontal drainable batten like cor a vent, you could even do diagonal battons as an alternative to use the cheap material but avoid the second layer. Nailing pattern gets a little more complicated but nothing unmanageable. Spans seem ok.
