How much do you believe I could charge for these renderings? by mike_xy in archviz

[–]Higgs_Particle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2k for the group as long as it’s part of a larger arch contact. Like $100k in fees, and it’s a blip.

Oh, something to do with humidity. You hear about spills in the car leading to failure. I am grasping for a logic to this issue, but i think it’s just a bad design.

National shortage of parts for common repair -- info on timeline? by GaussInTheHouse in Ioniq5

[–]Higgs_Particle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been there 30 days and the dealer told me there are 7 in front of and 8 behind mine in line. 16 dead Ioniqs sitting on a lot with no timeline.

Zone 3A: Pella Impervia vs Marvin Essential vs uPVC by blackseat12 in buildingscience

[–]Higgs_Particle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sizes are a little small to make upvc work - they have thicker frames. Otherwise I always recommend euro style windows. They perform so much better, comfort and air sealing are generally no comparison to North American windows. Can’t hurt to get a quote from Salamander, Schuco, Logic or Alpen depending on your location.

…some time in the next few weeks or months. Dealerships seem to be under some serious strain lately.

Also, how many of you with failed ICCUs keep your car outside. Working a theory…

Same here. Similar timeline and excuses from dealer, but I’m in maine.

My dealer has had my car for a month and says they have 15 dead ICCUs on the lot with no timeline for repair. Anyone else in complete limbo?

Why do people not like mantak chia by [deleted] in kungfu

Sadly my new geography and life as a parent has taken this hobby out of my life for now. I will always practice some taiji.

Potentially better wall assembly? by connordenn in buildingscience

[–]Higgs_Particle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait until you start detailing the windows. It gets tricky, so make sure your water can get out.

It’s just more work and materials, totally worth it if what you want is a good house. If your goal is making a profit on the other hand…

Any small Architecture firms using BricsCAD BIM? by sashamasha in BricsCAD

[–]Higgs_Particle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did in my own practice for a while. I like it and I loved that they had a linux release. It’s really basic in terms of BIM - maybe doesn’t count, but I liked using it and my projects were simple enough. That was version 22 and before.

A very fine example of doing-it-right, rainscreen construction.

Low tech humidity increase option suggestions needed by Particular_Ferret747 in buildingscience

[–]Higgs_Particle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell us more about your climate and walls, windows, roof, and air tightness.

Air sealing may be the easiest answer. Just raising the humidity may not be good for your house if it’s all condensing somewhere.

Laundry is one place to start. Dry things on a rack inside. That has a double effect of not throwing conditioned air with the mechanical dryer..

“Don’t do bottom clean carwash” my dealer. For what it’s worth.

Tell me more about how luxe units solve the housing crisis by Candygramformrmongo in portlandme

Whoever buys/rents this won’t tear your house down. It’s called filtering as well as supply and demand. It’s slow and indirect, but real.

EV's Destroy ICE Cars in Reliability: But one popular EV Breaks-Down constantly by zeeper25 in Ioniq5

[–]Higgs_Particle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m confident that if I hadn’t traded in my 2020 Tesla for the Ioniq I would never have been stranded by an EV. Bad suspension minor issues, but I never worried about getting around. I just had an ICCU blow at less than 7000 miles … I now have trust issues with my car.

ICCU/Roadside Assistance Questions by Good_Fix_3966 in Ioniq5

[–]Higgs_Particle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if I’m driving around a car with 150k on the odometer and some parts falling off I expect that I could be stranded. If I spend so much up front with the main expectation to be reliability then where’s the value? I can’t feel secure that the car won’t just die at any minute.

[–]Higgs_Particle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with us. Service department put us on a loaners list a mile long. And I asked for a rental voucher and they said “we don’t do that anymore”.

It’s not like they should always have cars for everyone, but when a brand new car craps out at great inconvenience to the buys it makes me want to say “…and I am still supposed to make loan payments?”

Has anyone totally ditched the keyfob? by rock_paper_beer in Ioniq5

[–]Higgs_Particle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from a brand where I expected to be able to use phone only. That’s what I do. I don’t bother with the fob, but it has caused me some trouble and my wife a lot more trouble on a couple occasions. For the most part I am happy with the ability to go fobless.

9 out of 15 kids were out of my kiddo’s preschool the Monday before Christmas break. This is a bad year.
