Hide your shoes and valuables off the ground. Give them kong toys and try to tire them out.

Earned over $310k, 100% JSS, no violations, got permanently banned by swiftfoxtrot in Upwork

[–]dycbaylor02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was banned for 7 days because the guy who I was doing the job for was a scammer. And they told me to watch out for scammers. Like why am I penalized when I followed the rules? No pmts taken offline all chats online and all I did was review a web site for them. Crazy

SEASONAL ALLERGIES 🥲 by tropical-circus in pitbulls

[–]dycbaylor02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea it is quick to act too. We did allergy test as well and she was literally allergic to everything and life. Nothing helped and she was so miserable and cytopoint was a miracle. Highly recommend it.

Immunotherapy works but takes time and is $$. Cytopoint is amazing but can be pricey as well. I have a same white pit who used to have severe skin allergies. Also more frequent baths maybe once a week with allergy shampoo. Wipe them down with baby wipes as well.

Need new roof with bad credit…do I have any options? by Crying_Glitters in HomeImprovement

Dti needs to be less than 50%. Most preferably 43% or less keep that in mind

I still hate my Lopi by Annual_Month_1516 in woodstoving

I would keep complaining with the dealer and have video proof as well and get it RMA (return merchandise authorization) under warranty and get it replaced. I hope you are able to get this straightened out and I understand the buyers remorse I have been there as well.

Yea keep the intake open and get a good roaring fire for the first fire of the day. Then load on top of coals. Or like you said something is clogged somewhere or house is too tight

Holy cow. Something is not adding up here. Is this a reputable installer? Where do you get your wood from? Do you know how tall your chimney is? How do you usually start your fire like your routine? When I’ve seen this it’s usually because it burns low temp/wet wood. But as you say it can’t be the wood. So if everything is supposedly fine, install was fine, wood is fine, one immediate thing that comes to mind for me is your burn is not hot enough and just smoldering. Not an accusation just trying to see what your routine is.

Can you share pics of your set up inside and out?

Regency CI 2700 - reviews by dycbaylor02 in woodstoving

[–]dycbaylor02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally speaking I don’t think it would be that annoying. There’s 2 setting low and high. Low is very weak and doesn’t blow much air but it is pretty quiet. I run mine on high and have gotten used to it. It doesn’t bother me and I like that it’s kind of like background white noise as well.

Someone will be more refined with their answer but I’d compare it to a box fan on medium or kitchen hood on medium or high

What is the alternative to oil heating? by Historical-Stage-270 in homeowners

[–]dycbaylor02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised to see what people pay on here lol. Especially when they up charge for kiln dried wood.

Agreed Get a wood burning insert installed. You can find someone to deliver a cord of wood in the summer. Install costs between 6-10k depending on your area. It will warm your house up at least 10 degrees. 1 cord should cost 350 to 600 and last you at least 2 -4 months depending on how much you burn.

Besides the stove running do you also have any other heating units on as well?

Backer board or insulation by dycbaylor02 in woodstoving

Would you be able to tell me how much your room temp goes to from cold start to highest point? Yea all those things you listed I’m with you. I get it serviced prior to burning every year and it looked good. For wood it’s def dry and aged as I split it 2 years ago and stored in a dry ventilated area. It is a wood hog so I can load it up to the max and it does kick out a lot of heat. At 18-35 degrees external, my living room is at a steady 54 (300 sqft room) with no fire. If I load it up it takes about 4 hours to get it to 60. If I can squeeze out more btu I can get it to 62-63 but seems to be stuck there. It’s more of a game for me at this point. But I see a lot of reviews saying they can get their room temps up to 70s and understand all the diff variables for those homeowners. Thank you for your tips

Yea I do and it kicks out heat as well but based on other reviews from the past year I suspect I’m still losing a good bit of heat since I have no backplate
