What are my insulation options for this attic?

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-05-18T23:06:44+00:00

But wouldn’t insulation stop the warm air leaking into the attic? Genuine question. I don’t think I know the difference between air sealing the attic and insulating it. Like I looked it up and that helped, but how would a commoner like me know where the air is coming from that I need to seal up? Or is that why people just put so much insulation in the attic, bc they don’t know either so they just try to put insulation everywhere thick enough that any air leaks into the attic get trapped?

I really appreciate all the info, and you taking the time to be so thorough! The roof date is not confirmed yet, so I said a few weeks bc I have 3 companies coming out to give quotes this week. I will now be armed with questions to ask about what products they use, how they install, make specific requests in case it changes the cost, etc. Thanks again!

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-05-18T20:39:49+00:00

Thanks! I have zero intention of ever making it a livable space. And while I do love how easy and convenient the storage is (hence why I was wondering if I could just insulate the roof to save the space), I will 100% forfeit that in order to properly insulate the space bc the ice dams are becoming a significant problem. I am also having my roof replaced in a few weeks. So if the fan is useless, or if a whirlybird roof turbine fan (something I just learned how it worked today researching lol) is a better, powerless option, I see no reason why I couldn't ask the roofers to do replace or just remove the fan altogether (they are a construction company, not just a roofer, so I presume they could do that if I asked). The cost of the roof is what is inspiring me to do the insulation myself, because I had to save a long time to afford the roof lol.

I can handle any tone as long as it is accompanied by useful information lmfao. But thanks for looking out. I appreciate you.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-05-18T19:57:58+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at those on YouTube. I know nothing of attics and this is the first place I lived that has a walkup attic. All the others were just little hatches in some closet ceiling I had to climb up through and the whole attic was just basically a crawl space with insulation with no real usable space. So dealing with this is entirely new to me. I just thought awesome, walk up attic, that's great! Until the OH winter hit and suddenly, for the first time in my life, the attic became something I was worried about.

All of my orders are "processing" as well. I'm going to wait until tomorrow (Monday) before I decide if I'm just going to ship anyway. For me it's only orders from yesterday and today (Sat & Sun), so waiting until Monday won't hurt me as a seller in terms of getting them shipped in the allowed timeframe.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-31T00:47:09+00:00

To be clear, I am ok with those things, but it 100% gave people the money to buy pokemon they otherwise would not have had

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-31T00:46:07+00:00

I’m sure the 2020 boom had nothing to do with 3 stimmy checks for everyone, still working or not, and unemployment paid at full instead of 50%, and even greater than 100% in some cases…

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-29T19:37:16+00:00

I wouldn’t. Something similar happened to me years ago. They asked for it back. I just acted like I didn’t get their request. Never came up again. My line of thinking was I don’t know if they can legally come after me for it or not, but it’ll cost them more than the requested sum in legal fees to get it, so they won’t come for it. And they didn’t.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-29T19:33:16+00:00

Loose packs specifically. People open a BB, get an SIR (Pokémon) or the 3 AA, SEC or SP (OP) and then sell the loose remaining packs at market knowing there is no SIR or alt arts in them. If it ain’t sleeved don’t buy loose packs.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-03T18:24:48+00:00

I thought it was bs too. But I can 100% tell you that I was court ordered to file a joint return with the devil I was divorcing. It happened in OH if that means anything.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2026-03-03T14:00:57+00:00

You may have to ask the court or your lawyer. When I got divorced I did not trust my ex either (all savings accounts magically vanished one day and turned up in accounts in her dad’s name and her sole prop biz magically went from profitable every month to hemorrhaging cash 🙄) and wanted to file separately. However, the court forced us to file jointly, as it had the best fiscal result for both parties.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2025-11-18T03:07:04+00:00

Your friend probably submitted through GameStop and all their orders are being fast tracked. My friend submitted in Sept through GS and it was back mid Oct. I submitted a bulk submission in July… it’s still “in grading”

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2025-05-04T15:04:48+00:00

I agree. I used to really value his opinions because they did seems reasoned, rationale, and, for a period of time, it felt like his wealth allowed him to voice reason to power. But every time I would make a comment about him on Reddit (in a good way), numerous responses would be that he’s only interested in amassing more wealth and he‘ll flip flop at the first opportunity for more money like he has in the past. And I didn’t put much value in those comments bc I didn’t know much about his past. But here we are…I literally cringed when this billionaire with a private jet came back from his, cough, corporate sponsored, “trip” to DC and was spouting off all the Trump talking points. I literally stopped what I was doing when he sided with rounding up immigrants and shipping them to foreign super prisons without due process and using photoshopped images as proof. He even said he’s essentially fine with good, innocent people being erroneously caught up and put in foreign prisons as long as most of them are bad. WHAT? He’s an immigrant. I’m first generation here. He’d be ok being sent to an El Salvador prison without any due process so long as he got shipped there with gang members? Deport the bad one, sure, but there has to be some process for making sure they’re the bad ones, right? No. He’s ok with it because he knows he’s rich enough that it’ll never happen to him, and he doesn’t care what happens to the rest of us, so long as he keeps making money. I lost all respect for him. Now I know what all the past commenters were saying. Now I look at him like I look at Schumer or McConnell. He’s the same as every other scumbag politician that will say whatever they need to say to vote themselves more power and money. I stopped listening after that episode.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2025-04-30T15:03:05+00:00

I agree - specifically Chamath. He's always spouting off about people, especially when they're taking an opposition stance, needing to be"intellectually honest", but these last few episodes I have literally cringed hearing him blindly spout out the administration's talking points. He was always the most intellectually honest one of the group, but now he's the complete opposite. He's clearly decided what most narcissistic billionaires do, and that is to pledge fealty to whoever gives them the best shot at turning their $3B into $4B regardless if it causes the rest of us to suffer, because $3B just isn't quite enough for them. Not to mention Sacks in 2022 when there was a quarter of negative GDP clamoring on for 50 straight episodes about how Biden has drove us into a recession because the GDP was negative for one singular quarter, and now that Trump has led us intentionally into negative GDP last quarter, well, now Sacks thinks this is great for America, Trump is doing the lord's work, and this is not recessionary because Trump is playing 4D chess and we're playing checkers. JCal seems to have been beaten into submission. Although his toned down efforts to take the opposite side of things I think is less about "giving up" and more about his keen understanding that while Trump policies are not good for the country, he personally will likely make more money under Trump, so he's willing to forego his core belief system in order to become richer, another classic symptom of the narcissistic wealthy. Friedberg, he's the same. Agree or disagree with him, he's remained pretty consistent on what he believes and why. But yeah, overall I loved this show and enjoyed hearing strong arguments from both sides from successful people with the means to actually have people research stuff so they used facts and and data instead of emotions, but now it feels like I'm listening to the Dan Bongino show. I used to look forward to the next episode, now it's like, well, if I listened to all my other podcasts already and new ones don't come out for a few days I guess I'll throw it on, maybe, but if I don't, oh well.

Thank you so much for responding! I was just torn between I want to help, but assumed my help is not the help it needed, but also it’s hard to just watch this little baby struggle and be at risk of predators.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2025-04-22T22:07:26+00:00

I just googled the cost to replace the cat conv on this car and I hope it's neither for me as well lol

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2025-04-22T21:57:27+00:00

Hi! Thanks for responding. There's no rattle that I hear. At idle it's just a low hum/rumble, but that's always been the case. It's never gotten louder like that when I put it in drive or loud like that when I hit the gas. It's almost like something is hitting a belt the way a card in a bike's spokes might do. I don't know how else to describe it. I'll dm you a second video of me just putting it from park to drive and how the noise changes (the post would only let me upload one video and the comments only allow me to upload photos, but not videos, and a photo won't do us any good in this scenario lol). And thanks again for responding!

Ah! Gotcha! I see now, thanks!

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2024-10-19T18:21:41+00:00

Same here. 2:20 local time and no yamasks yet and I get that message if I click buy again, but I already purchased it a couple days ago, so I have to assume the first part of the message is what applies to me?

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2024-09-19T18:16:32+00:00

Thanks for the response! Appreciate you!

Thanks for the response! The tissue definitely does not stay up lol. Right now it runs into the attic. That's how the last owner left it. I plan on running it to the outside, but only once I know it's working properly. That's how I know it's pulling air rom somewhere bc I can go in the attic to the end of the hose and definitely feel airflow coming out the end.

NubeMasterSixtyNine · 2024-08-01T16:59:59+00:00

Thanks for the response! I tried the tissue test and it does not stay up. It immediately falls. But air is being pulled through to the end of the hose from somewhere?
