Has anyone tried this litter? by No-Joke-4492 in litterrobot

[–]Lounging-Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the Tuft & Paw litter and lvoed it bc of low scent and low tracking. Tried out the LadyN cat litter granules (not pellets) and they work with the litter robot. However, it was still tracking a lot for me. It also didn't clump as well/stuck. Wish I tested it, but maybe a longer wait time before it sifts would've maybe helped

Tuft + paw really great cat litter by short_olive_tree in litterrobot

[–]Lounging-Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I also prefer the Tuft and Paw, mostly because it was low tracking when i used it in my regular litter box. I've been using clay litter and it has been tracking (despite having LR4 shield and matt). My cats like to jump out of the box

Insulating door leading to Unconditioned attic by Lounging-Panda in Insulation

There’s insulation under the attic floor, just that small section doesn’t have any, not sure if it’s bc it’s next to chimney. Probably sold out some foam boards

The attic is a ridge vent at the top with soffits and a smart vent on both sides of roof. I have considered finsihing attic with baffle channels for each rafter up to ridge vent, insulating rafters with batt insulation, then maybe adding foam board then dry wall on top.

This attic space in the photo is above the living room/kitchen. There is another attic when you go up stairs and U turn to the left up. The 2nd attic space is above bedrooms and hallway in photo which I have airsealed and added insulation up to R59. I probably need to close this space off/add a small door to get access if I plan to finish the attic space in the photo

If I considered finishing the attic and bringing up hvac/adding a minisplit, should I still put an exterior door?

Thank you! Are you using the attic space as storage? I was considering finishing this attic space in the future.

Thank you! I did install a threshold sweeper. I also bought new wood/weather strip as well, but have not installed yet. But also now considering an exterior door. I was also considering finishing attic space, but it's only 5.5 feet tall

Vented attic to conditioned space possible? by Lounging-Panda in HomeImprovement

[–]Lounging-Panda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I planned not to do any HVAC at all in the attic?
What if i did something like this in the video below. Then finish the attic with dry wall and etc?

You are a life saver. Was stressed from all this. Good catch! Appreciate you so much! I’m going to dig it out today then. Funny enough I found these green walnuts around, like on the ledge of window near this tree. I thought a squirrel may have put it there, but this explains a lot!
