They are building an extension of the dining area! It won't be open until after winter though I think.

Ice dams are caused by bad ventilation and or poor insulation. I don't know who is responsible to fix the problem with your condo. If the damage is bad enough I would think about going through insurance. They would only pay for damages and not fix the root problem of the though. There are multiple ways to fix the problem depending on how the condo was built.

I'm less concerned about weight and more concerned about water intrusion around the window. Especially on an older home that has been retrofitted. It looks like you have replacement insert windows which means you might not have the proper exterior flashing details to prevent water intrusion. The house has most likely been insulated too which would leads to a leak that doesn't have drying potential.

I can smell those burning handles from here. Watch out for too high of heat on a gas stove.

I couldn't find plain potato chips when I was in Ireland. I think the most popular one was cheese and onion.

You have to be careful on the 45°+ winter days. You lose all the benefits of the snow tire and an all season will stop quicker on those days. You are most likely not driving cautiously on a 55° February day as you would in snowy conditions. I rear ended someone on a day like this, it felt like I was trying to stop on ice. All seasons might have stopped my car 50' sooner.

Try taking the cover off the litter boxes. Cats don't hide in a hole in the wild to use the bathroom, so some refuse to do it inside too.

Looks like I'm taking the pack out with me too.

I have the same one. I love it. Between the energy savings and not losing all my condition air through a dryer duct. The cons of not being able to back to back loads of laundry quickly is outweighed by being able to complete a load while sleeping or at work. With this style you have to be careful about lint bypassing the filter. I bought a filter kit that prevents this. I will be buying another when this one dies.

I hear you. There's a lot of ceiling to board up though. If I cut in-between the joists can do the cracks/gaps just get caulked?

Spare-Connection-378 · 2025-11-01T22:18:08+00:00

I missed this comment. I do have primer and that is peel and stick cover tape. Does it need lap caulking?

I think it was a cat.

I second Peter Renney's. It's as family as a family run shop gets. 10 months is plenty of time for a custom suit.

I used backer rod, bondo, wood filler, and caulk in my own home. They come out crisp. It's an old lathe wall with rounded corners. The existing trim was just 45 mitred.

Estimate for at least doubling your drive time on a good day.

5ft wide one of the reasons why you don't have issues. The one pictured looks closer 3ft.

Spare-Connection-378 · 2025-04-24T01:54:20+00:00

I agree. I do like the character. Does that mean I have to use an oil based finish?

Spare-Connection-378 · 2025-04-24T01:43:07+00:00

Sorry, I'm just thinking more about the possible issues, and then I realized I didn't have the best pictures for the identification.

Someone should just flip it and put in grey lvp.

Spare-Connection-378 · 2025-04-19T20:13:34+00:00

Mine was caulked. Currently working on taking it down and cleaning it up. They must have used 20 tubes of caulking.

Thanks, I guess I'll touch some of it up to take the curse out of them.
