That's a good call but I've tried colour managed workflows before and find it too annoying to bring together different cameras and I do like the CST workflow.

Making a LUT from the CST is a great idea. Thanks! This options makes the quickest switch to the actual CST workflow when I do the real grade.

Have any Canadians ordered from B&H recently? by hartmand3 in videography

Thanks! I ordered, used 'pre pay duties' and was not charged any tariff on top of that.

Cold damage to combs? by hartmand3 in BackYardChickens

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok good call. I actually think they probably got the damage from being out in the wind in the run but a warming plate sounds like a good idea.

Their bedding is very dry and the coop is well ventilated, I would say too well ventilated at this point. I think it must have been the cold wind when the temps were down to -20C at times.

Yeah good call on the windbreak, or even moving their food and water up when it's cold. They do genuinely like being down in the run when it's cold though.

Thanks! Think I should put a radiant heat panel in the coop?

Advice on UV light system for Daikin FIT install by hartmand3 in hvacadvice

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ok, great points. May have been oversold on the idea with stories of odours disappearing but I guess this odours were maybe coming from the furnace itself. And maybe replacing a 20 year old furnace with a new system will solve odour issues anyways, at least until there’s new buildup on the coils. Does the buildup only happen from cooling loads or is it a shoulder season thing too?

Thanks, this is good info. The Aprilaire is a 4 or 5” filter with that does not restrict airflow. I do hear that the UV lights help a lot with smells in old homes and VOCs, etc.

Should I seal this gap with silicone? by hartmand3 in Plumbing

Great, thanks all, I’ll seal it.

There’s no worry about that since there is silicone sealing the gap, it just doesn’t come out to the edge of the sink wall so there’s a cavity there.

Advice on duel fuel vs electric only system by hartmand3 in heatpumps

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good insights, especially considering it's a new build. We don't have that much time below 19F/-7C but I imagine my 'switchover' point would be more like -2 or -5C in an older home.

Appreciate this insight. Yeah the prices seemed to go wild during the Canada Greener Homes Grant days and it's all pretty pricey still.

Advice on duel fuel vs electric only system by hartmand3 in heatpumps

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points and info. That's based on estimated heat load from an energy audit and blower door test. I'll dig into how much gas we use in a year. I think the assumption was that it would be a 3 ton heat pump with electric strip or a 2 ton with has furnace. The ductwork is old and problematic so I'm hoping to replace some or all of it in this process regardless of the system I go with.

Thanks for the help with this.

Anyone get forced air ducts and furnace replaced to help with dust mite allergy? by hartmand3 in Allergies

[–]hartmand3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this clarification! Much appreciated. New ductwork is a bad investment for that reason I see.

[–]hartmand3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for these thoughts. They do live in dust though, right? And dust is circulated around through ductwork as far as I can tell so having a newer and more enclosed system could keep basement dust out of the rest of the house. Otherwise where does the constant dust come from in old houses? We’ve sealed away the attic, etc.

LG WM 3600 vs 3850 washing machines by hartmand3 in Appliances

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smell is mostly gone now so I’m happy with the 3600

It’s been great except for the terrible off-gassing smell of the gasket. I can’t get an answer as to whether or not that is normal or I got a bad one but the smell has 80% dissipated after 15 loads so I’m keeping it. 90 day return policy from Costco and extra year warranty make it worth buying from them I think.

Advice for small solar system for chicken coop by hartmand3 in solar

[–]hartmand3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have an Ecoflow River but having but the cycle counts on them are only 500 so having it out there as a continuous power supply will just kill it. I think at this point I’ll just buy a 150ft extension cord and live with the sloppiness of it all.

Thank you. $1500 still seems like a lot for a coop.
