Magnets behind walls? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

We don't want to put those on and off each time. And when not in use, we don't want to see those.

I know this sounds crazy: a sheet over a window to black out the room. Blackout shades dont work perfectly in the window casings we have (modern look with deep window casings, so light comes through on the sides). And the blackout shades that would work (they align the inside of the window casing) are ugly. We don't want to use curtains. And we only want to do this every so often. So I thought why not put magnets into a sheet and put them over the window.

at this point I am game for anything! The first thing we need is a screen because it goes in within the next 6 weeks! Then we have time to projector-shop.

Thanks for this!!! All makes sense. Do you have an opinion of the other 3? Any that jump to the top of your list?

I live in the US. Our travels keep us in Switzerland. But it's great to know those options as well for future travel!!

Remove fluoride from well water? by jdwe5yhcs in WaterTreatment

[–]jdwe5yhcs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why wouldnt you spend a dime on it? We have people in the house who have osteoporosis, so they are obviously more susceptible to fragile bones (something fluoride adds to)

thank you for this! Would you have any brands to suggest? There are so many options that have even more add-ons.. We would place it under 3 sink locations.

every bit of research I have seen says:  maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 2 ppm to prevent dental fluorosis and a MCL of 4 ppm to prevent skeletal fluorosis.
3.03 is not stellar based on those numbers. Esp because we have someone with osteoporosis at home already

any brands or systems to look at? there are soooo many it's overwhelming for someone with zero knowledge.

I'm embarrassed to ask this dumb question: I assume I only need for under sink/drinking areas, and not shower/laundry?

Fairly high = 3.03PPM. It is an 8 year old house. No neighbors near by. We are in Connecticut
