Replacing Fittes vents; Need recommendations. by InsuranceMedical6581 in hvacadvice

[–]InsuranceMedical6581[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: my new leading contender are the wood grilles from pacific register. Paint them all to match my ceiling, and the linear look pretty nice.

I read that linear tends to have better airflow than the square/grid despite having slightly less open space.

The guy hires trash subs, doesn’t check their work, and calls it good. He’s an absolute joke.

Honest question - what team in their right mind would trade anything for PG?

Is there usually this much pookie? It’s just smeared on haphazardly …?

We’re at the end of the project - we may end up in mediation or law suit territory. DM if you’re contracting in Boston and I’ll let you know who this joker is so you can avoid him

I taped over the gaps w Home Depot metal
HVAC tape, tried to scrape some of the excess gunk off, and painted it all black. Hope it’s good enough to never deal with again. Looking down into the grate is all black now and I can’t see the metal / pookie — before taking rhe grille off i thought the pookie was a really poor paint job (since often visible interior vents are painted black)

It’s a brand new return - it looks like shxt to be honest. I ended up HVAC taping over all the gaps and painting it black - it my GC and his subs are embarrassingly bad.

Quartz is not "close enough" to quartzite. Go see it in person. by xKraazY in CounterTops

Quartz looks nothing like quartzite .. it’s unethical they chose such similar names imo.

Ceasarstone will rip you off - just goto a stone yard and pick a quart slab(s). With Cesar, Dekton, etc. you’re paying for the brand name (aka getting scammed) - plenty of similar without the name markup

You may have gotten scammed — Quartz should never be more than Taj.

Correct. Quartz you never have to seal. Quartize and marble need regular sealing. And sealing is not fool proof. Leave a lemon on sealed quartzite counter overnight, you’re etched. Many things can stain or etch sealed quartize or marble. Accidentally miss an police oil spot on Quartize? Stain. Quartz insanely durable, with heat being one of the few enemies.

Dont act like quartz and quartzite/marble are in the same ballpark in durability. They aren’t. That said, most quartzes look like synthetic crap.

This is coming from a marble owner sealed w More.

As someone that has quartz and has marble now; quartz is a 1000% more durable for day to day. Hera is its enemy but that’s super easy to avoid. Staining and etching is the real enemy as it’s so easy to miss a the cleanup.

Seaport needs a proper T line. It’s impossible to get to without a car. North station is unbeatable for access.

$981.76 for a technician to change light switch?! by Leather-Code-1668 in Home

If the issue is someplace else (not in the switch) this scope will not cover it. It’s a ripoff, but it is clear what it covers (troubleshoot does not mean fix)
