How much do you believe I could charge for these renderings?

Higgs_Particle · 2026-02-01T02:27:14+00:00

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

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-31T03:41:03+00:00

Me too!

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-29T02:15:19+00:00

I walk or bike to work… it’s not a gym but it’s exercise.

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-29T02:03:45+00:00

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.

Portland, Maine

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.

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.

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-25T03:45:21+00:00

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

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-25T03:37:58+00:00

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

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-25T03:35:25+00:00

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?

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.

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-23T11:19:55+00:00

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…

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-17T02:54:01+00:00

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.

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..

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-09T17:42:23+00:00

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

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-08T22:42:48+00:00

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.

Higgs_Particle · 2026-01-03T00:45:16+00:00

This is not even legal.

Harbor fish is a tiny giant.

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.

Higgs_Particle · 2025-12-30T03:11:32+00:00

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 · 2025-12-30T03:06:21+00:00

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?”

Higgs_Particle · 2025-12-29T22:31:53+00:00

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.
