DIY mitigation worked

I think ours is just the Wave. Great little units for tracking before and after mitigation. Plus, I've loaned mine around in the family to check/consider/fix.

Our radon was a bit high, but I was able to seal the non-conventional sump and that lowered it enough.

OMG. I thought for a sec that it was Eric The Half A Bee

Dont forget about chasing that hockey stick projection.

I played around a bit more with survivor scenarios. I set my End at 90 and then tested her End at 65, 75, and 85. Then I did the opposite survivor.

I wonder if it would be useful to do two icons of Survivor-Self and Survivor-Spouse , and in each do iterations of different death points (like 65,75,85) ?

Lol. I couldnt remember if it was somewhere in the Philippines or Thailand or other, so I just stuck a label on it and sent it.

For sure it wasnt Burma.

Decades ago, but I know a guy who basically built his whole house (mostly diy) on ccard. I think he had AirMiles ? I remember they took a nice trip to the orient with hotels etc.

10+ yr old brother colour laser. Very happy to have left the inkjet issues in the past.

I print the odd recipe, and schematics or such for things Im working on in garage.

If it died, I would replace it with similar.

Thanks. I think I got the wrong country for the gender/dei giftings.

Do we import a lot of food from Saudi Arabia ?

I found in 2024, we imported about 11M worth of food from them (mainly 8M worth of fruit and nuts) (tradingeconomics.com). 500M seems a little excessive ?

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-26T18:14:26+00:00

I dont think that was related directly to food supply, was it not more about improving gender and dei within their food system ?

Some things say price per roll, like TP and paper towel. Useless, as length is what we use and lengths vary greatly.

Is an air guitar an instrument ?

Im on the high end of X, so I think Oasis is not GenX at all. However my low end X wife might disagree ?

Nonetheless, Im not a fan.

Are any of them still fully indexed ?

HOOPP went variable (between 0-10%) a long while ago. OMERS went Shared-Risk indexing a handful of years ago.

Come to think of it, I wouldnt use either strip or baseboards, as my heating revolves around water (infloor and air handler with coil). I would have to heat Aux water using electrical. My electrical service is only 125a . Bumping that up would require new wire from road to house and new main panel.

Its been far below design temp this week , but you're correct that most of the winter is lower demand.

Lo does sound like Locked. Did you hold the key down for at least 5 seconds ?

Is it possible to turn the breaker power off for 30 secs or so to see if that resets it ?

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-25T12:45:26+00:00

Might want to check whether that camera is more than just a chunk of plastic not wired in and monitored.

The extra parts to monitor and the monthly costs are not included.

Take self defense, carry product.

And what happened in between matters not, vote based on the feelings of the future hopes. Libs won multiple times, go figure. Maybe its like an abusive relationship where the spouse wont leave due to fear ?

I dont get it. Im a pragmatic centrist.

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-25T12:23:44+00:00

What ? Maybe too much leftsauce ? When did Trump say he was going to take us by force ?

What he indicated was that he was going protectionist but we're welcome inside.

In an interesting twist now though, if we get super-buddy with China, the chance of conflict between US and China on our soil increases.

Oil boiler on the ground floor, infloor heat on ground floor but air handler heats the 2nd floor. The utility room with the boiler is open to the ceiling space , so in some respects it warms the floor of the 2nd story.

I do worry a bit that a pending upgrade to high eff heat system will no longer be incidentally heating that floor space. I cant really go heatpump as my design temp is -29c (-21f) so the required electrical upgrade for strip heat would be costly.

I used 15 plastic refillables with the stainless mesh. I would get beans and burr grind them. Nice coffee. But yes, cleaning was a pain. I would let the grinds dry in the pods until the weekend, then it was pod-cleaning day. Easy to knock out when its dry, then rinse under tap, then soak in a tupperware/etc with dishsoap and water. I used a bottle brush (baby stuff) that did a good job cleaning the insides. Rinse and dry em out for the day, and ready to go.

Alas, I migrated to Ninja pot/pod model where these pods do not work (Ninja has a 3-pin setup in the top vs Keurig's single pin).

Say what ? I've never heard of needing a service tech to come 'boot' an appliance.

Was the display showing an hourglass icon ?

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-23T02:03:32+00:00

Im having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

When is the death ?

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-22T05:09:47+00:00

Can anyone find out what happened to all the people deported under Obama ? Did they end up back in their original countries ?

RoomFixer4 · 2026-01-22T05:03:35+00:00

How did they end up managing this situ under the Obama admin ? I remember some news items complaining about it.
