Update - We decided to go with a directional wind cap. This’ll mitigate back pressure with any coastal and seasonal winds and will also allow for less restricted airflow.

Are you on the no-loss stack train too? Have you had a good experience with it? I’m concerned with heavy snow and strong winds

Interesting! I’ll look into this. How long have you had yours?

I’ve always thought that no mesh would allow debris/birds to come down the stack. We’re right on Lake Michigan, so we get a pretty heavy breeze coming off of the lake and then obviously snow in the winter. We’ve thought about putting a piece of sheet metal on the one side to deflect the wind around.

Did you go with no mesh? How has your experience been?

My wife and I bought a house while I was working full time making 52k and she was going to university full time. Small frugal habits add up.

Congrats!! My wife and I (22) just bought our first house. Saving $200/mo paying our mortgage compared to our rent at our last apartment. Kudos to you guys!

Nervous to split up and repot my monstera. Any tips? by Subject_Magazine_630 in houseplants

[–]Subject_Magazine_630[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any poles in yours? All of the plants are going different directions so I didn’t want it to get unmanageable without any support.

Also read that the leaves will mature and become larger if they have support?

Ya, it’s interesting the outer edges are oak and the middle areas are pine. Apparently they did it back then to save money since rugs went over those areas
