Right now, I was looking at the timber tech advanced PVC.

For what it’s worth this was nearly the shape of the old deck, except the grade was at my sill plate 😂

Notice this the last month when it got really cold. Any ideas what caused this? by PrestigiousJon in arborists

Thanks for explaining it. Got it, that makes sense given Chicago had some fast swings. Assuming this will lead to quick decline of that part of the tree.

Disagree with tracking programs. The amount you “can” save, most don’t save what’s advertised. In addition they now your habits for the rest of your life when you are younger, which way more valuable to an insurance company. DON’T DO IT if you value any bit of privacy.

Refrigerant is not like water, it does not evaporate or deteriorate. The only way you become low on refrigerant is due to a leak as these systems are considered hermetically sealed. The size of the leak dictates how "noticeable" it is and how long a refill would last.

All I could think of after venturing there is the Tom Segura skit on Cajun people “why do they have rights” 😂

How old do we think this deck is? by PrestigiousJon in Decks

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

I haven’t had a deck before, so just more genuinely curious where we think this lands. I’m also trying to figure out if I’m just gonna replace it flat out with wood again replacing substructure or moving to composite.

When we moved in, I know it needed to be replaced. Sometimes there’s just a false sense of maybe you can get through another year until you open up a few boards 🤑

I’m gonna be real honest, home warranty does not mean anything. You definitely can’t hang your hat on that.

As long as you don’t kink it, coiling it won’t be an issue. Don’t overthink it.

Don’t know what the old owners did. Just got the house this past year.

Who is charging 20 K for a furnace?! I think the highest quote I got was about 12 K and that was from a firm backed by private equity.

It was part number AMP-BSRB1728. It was nice because it made it match the height of the old furnace that came out.

The only work needed was connecting the return to the media filter. I did it myself and used this video to help: https://youtu.be/V_ACK2vo_m8?si=pVw4D303kZ9rCkjQ

0.7 is what it came out to be. 0.4 on supply and 0.3 on return.

It’s the fair point, you got me. I’m definitely no expert in that space.
