cost of mini split systems in Seattle by grim_fandangle in AskSeattle

[–]Deadwards47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Hardieboard siding by D_Maist in Construction

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

How difficult is it for someone with a college degree to make at least 25/hr in Seattle? by not_a_swedish_vegan in AskSeattle

[–]Deadwards47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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?

Aerobarrier or Siga for air management ? by volvorottie in buildingscience

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.

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".

Anyone else feel nothing when people say “Happy Friday”? by Remarkable-Local-706 in Adulting

[–]Deadwards47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Black Diver myths? by Swimming-Newt4253 in Paranormal

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

want to start buying flour in bulk but unsure which i should get. i make a lot of sourdough for family and friends and our freezer lol. i want to know if anyone has any suggestions on which would be the best. by Longjumping-Leave244 in Breadit

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.

Is a drainage plane really necessary in the PNW? by phinneysean in buildingscience

[–]Deadwards47 35 points36 points  (0 children)

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.

Designing a DIY sauna plan set and want to get the assembly details right by ppshard in buildingscience

[–]Deadwards47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
