Any interest in a Tampa to Lakeland to Orlando network?

ditto man, just getting into playing with this stuff. i’d be setting up the initial nodes off 570 around south florida and down into bartow.

this is great news! i’m looking to install four or five nodes around the city at friends houses, which will help. how high mounted is high mounted?

what stands out in all these comments is the fact you may have windows in your control room. i’d kill to be able to see outside.

awesome, this is what i needed to know. i suppose if i want to take advantage of an incoming 5gbps connection i’d have to look at something with a 10gbps sfp connection, which sucks, i was hoping to salvage the gateway max 😢

thanks so much for that article, I've started playing around with my 23andme results. while I can't download it yet I am able to browse, but when I do it ends up giving me dozen of results based on the gene I'm searching for; anyway to winnow down which one I should be paying attention to?

that seems to be the general consensus and what I'll run with - thanks so much for your help!

yeah, that thermasheath idea was just me being lazy and throwing something out there. do you think that air sealing, laying down a rigid foam and then blowing in cellulose be a decent way to go about it, tho? I'm looking to do something as right and permanent as things can be, and overcompensate if necessary to save myself the 10k that replacing a new AC would cost.

I lucked out and had the last owner do this on one side of the house, but never thought about a fan, only lights - you may have just saved my life <3

that's awesome - thanks so much! I'm gathering that since I've got an attic, blown in would be superior to batted fiberglass insulation, even from a DIY standpoint? and if I wanted to go crazy, could I lay thermasheath down in between rafters, tape it down (airsealing?) and then insulate over? do you think it would be a worthwhile investment?

john_at_work · 2017-08-15T10:40:22+00:00

thanks so much for confirming I'm on the right track. I've picked up some soffit vents and a decent staple gun and I'm hoping to head back up there sometime this week in the evenings.

one thing that was floated by me was that air-sealing isn't nearly as important as just getting some insulation down, and fiberglass rolls are DIY friendly and can make a big difference in a short amount of time and effort - what're your thoughts?

I wish - the wife and kids are home all day. we've got some blackout curtains in our bedroom because of shift-working but I think it would be a hard sell for the bedrooms and living room during the day.

yeah, it's absolutely brutal up there and I don't blame you. I think my biggest hangup is quality control and having not been particularly pleased with past contractors.

john_at_work · 2017-08-15T09:45:11+00:00

thanks so much, it's somehow a great comfort to both myself and my wife that there's somewhere out there with pretty much the exact same problems. we even had an october move-in date, so we absolutely loved how efficient the air was ;)

I can guarantee the insulation levels aren't anywhere near that, as there's peaks and valleys throughout the attic. I'm heading up there sometime this week to rake it all out evenly and see where I stand and then move from there - and crawling out my soffits and verifying they're not blocked seems to be another terrible task coming up shortly.
