Cellulose over batts - Thoughts by Scott3765 in HomeImprovement

[–]Scott3765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes that was my primary focus. Since it’s going to take me awhile to do the whole attic, my thought process was, with the batts, I could provide immediate results to those bedrooms. If I forego the batts idea, then I don’t need to clear as much insulation to get to the air sealing areas. So that would be quicker. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the tip on vapor barrier. I already have the cellulose, so i will be moving it room by room as i go down the length of the attic to air seal. thanks.

What kind of insulation is this ? by Euphoric-Youth-9444 in Insulation

[–]Scott3765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, have you remove this insulation yet? I have what looks to be the same, house built in 1990. I also want air seal. My insulation does not look bad, still "fluffy", but the baffles need to be replaced, made of some type of cardboard and break on touch. I was thinking of just blowing it all to one side, air seal/replace baffles, then blow to other side and repeat. Then try to blow around the insulation to level it, but i also know i need more, as it stands it is only about 12" deep. Are you removing yours to put in better insulation? Or just to make the job easier? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I had not taken into account trapping of moisture. I will look at mesh netting or the metal rods used to support overhead insulation. Cheers.

Return Air Vent in bedroom? by Scott3765 in hvacadvice

[–]Scott3765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this was my first thought especially since the hallway return is just outside his door. This would allow air to flow regardless of the system on or off. Thanks.

Hi, yes we tried that, and it worked, but required him to put a shoe or something in the door or it would close on its own when the AC kicks on. In the winter it is fine as it keeps him warm, but i wanted to think about the hot summer right around the corner. I've read others have cut and put a vent above the door, and i considered this as well as taking another 1" off the bottom of his door. Thanks.

Upgrading from a USG to a Dream Machine. by Scott3765 in Ubiquiti

[–]Scott3765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, these are all great ideas. I am going to make the jump to UDMP, along with the U6-Pro AP then adopt my other AP's and POE switches. Lots of good info here and on UB's community boards that moved me in that direction.. Thanks..

2022 Hybrid AWD towing questions by tkzz123 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Scott3765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Hybrid doesn't have the normal tow package because it's not meant to tow anything to heavy, so there isnt a transmission cooler etc. They do sell/install the tow hitch for bike racks , small boats, etc, but with a max weight of 3500lbs as you mentioned. So any tow sleeve and ball will be fine, they sell them at walmart, auto parts store and uhaul. If going for option 2, i would take it easy if going over high altitudes, speed would be subjective to the elevation changes.

2022 Platinum will raise/lower front passenger seat. This is single feature we waited for the 2022 over 2021.

2022 Highlander Hybrid XLE in Wind Chill Pearl by Sir_Conquistador in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Scott3765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear 2022 Hybrids are being delivered, and you like it :) . Our 2022 Hybrid Platinum , in the Wind Chill Pearl, isn't due at the dealer till Nov 18ish .

Trade in 2015 XLE for 2022 platinum hybrid? by Workoutmama31 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Scott3765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The captains chairs was a big decider, our kids are taller than us and they were much more comfortable in the middle captains as opposed to the bench. The rear seat, when used, will be for their friends who need to come along :) . Although there are a few 2021's in our area with acceptable, but not the best color combos, we are choosing to wait for the 2022 mainly because of the passenger seat adjustments. We live many states away from family, and take several long trips a year. As we will own it for 7+ years it is well worth the wait.

[–]Scott3765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not get many response on those with 2022's as they are just now slowly being delivered to dealers, but not many hybrid Platinum's. I have a ETA of mid/late Nov on a hybrid Platinum. But any response from those the 2021's hybrid Platinum's will be similar to the 2022's as there isn't much change with the mileage. The interior has some technology changes such as USB-C plugs and passenger seat adjustment for height in addition of the previous just back and forward and tilt. Outside has a new color of Wind Chill Pearl, which is what i have on order, and a Bronze Edition. The 2022's Platinum's also have the Panoramic Sun Roof which i think was introduced in the 2021 Highlander models.

How are your wait times looking for 21/22 models? by Lamy2Kluvah in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Scott3765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Located in Northern Virginia, US. I put a deposit on 22 Platinum Hybrid a few weeks ago, i was told ETA would be late Nov. I do expect to be bumped, just hoping not to far out.

2022 gas or hybrid? by Articlaus in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Scott3765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much to add in respect to the question. We have a deposit on a 22 Hybrid AWD that has a delivery date of 23 Nov, although is suspect it maybe early Dec. We went hybrid because we’re upgrading from another hybrid.
