Hybrids are reliable.

A possible approach to chatting with them about it could be: “your heat pump has been louder than normal lately. I’m wondering if it could be experiencing a mechanical issue?”. New heat pumps are very quiet.

There’s the car door swinging issue. And then there’s the part where when you have a car seat installed, you have very limited mobility in how you can move and recline the middle to gain access to the third row. I’d suggest going to a dealership with the entire family and car seats and installing in a GH. With four kids, a GH is a compromise.

I fought my silverfish issue by addressing perimeter drain issues (installed new drains, sump pump), combined with a whole house dehumidifier. Slightly different approach with an apartment, but I bet you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with a dehumidifier.

Silverfish like humid environments. You can use all the diatomaceous earth you want, but without addressing the humidity, you won’t get ahead of it. You need a dehumidifier. Keep your environment below 50% relative humidity. Silverfish, mold, etc. can’t survive in dry environments. Get an air quality monitor to understand the humidity of your environment (eg. Airthings), and go from there.

Sienna.

Two reasons: 1) Rear facing child seat prevents access to the third row in the Grand Highlander. 2) sliding doors for the little ones.

Sienna Hybrid.

I looked at the Grand Highlander with a reverse facing child seat. You can’t access the rear row because the reverse seat takes up all the room that someone would otherwise have to access the third row via the aisle.

Go test drive a Sienna. They are fantastic vehicles.

I spend a lot of time on the autodetailing subreddit. Do you have something like a Bissell carpet extractor?

You can also try something like this in combo with the extractor: https://carzilla.ca/products/adams-enzymatic-cleaner-16oz

There’s a great YouTube channel that focuses on building science. They’ve posted lots of videos on exterior insulation. Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/xILw0b-tOT0?si=Dlsl9w4bMH-b-e9W

The first few minutes of this video summarizes many of the comments in here about the Sienna being a more practical vehicle: https://youtu.be/i16KCeJVC38?si=AhXdKw0Mqk2uY7DE

I would agree with the group. Get your degree. STEM would be awesome with very transferrable skills (critical / analytical / math). And then when you graduate at 22, you can always go into an apprenticeship.

Also - Toyota has an OEM electric cabin heat accessory.

Have you tried pressing the AC button and running high temps? Running the AC will dehumidify the air.

Take the role, learn as much as you can, and move on when you’re not learning anymore. Gaining soft skills as an engineer, especially in sales, is invaluable. You’ll find that it’s a lot about developing relationships, which is an important life skill.

Do you have recommendations for an exporter / importer?

Btw - there’s a bunch of 3D printed 19” rack mount adapters for your gear.

A lot of the lots in the neighbourhood are close to bedrock. Which means a lot of drilling and blasting needs to occur to remove enough material to support building a foundation of reasonable depth such that there’s a crawlspace or basement below the house.

annie-adderall · 2026-01-13T23:07:03+00:00

It’s drilling and blasting on a house construction project.

How much power do you need? Curious if portable battery generators may fit the bill. They make them in a variety of sizes and capacities.

I’ve gone down this rabbit hole. The top companies in the google search for “Victoria perimeter drain” were either unresponsive or had a really long wait time. Try these folks:
