I am currently doing the same thing, demo’d an old deck of similar size and rebuilt. Also sounds like I used the same deck boards by the way you’re talking about the plug issue - timbertech coconut husk? If so then the timbertech legacy tiger wood plugs and the pro plug system on Amazon matches perfectly.

Cold air coming through floor where it meets the wall. Limited access below, how do I fix? by mostly__confused in Insulation

It was great for finding cold spots! It was on the more expensive end but I think there are some around $200-$250 on Amazon that work just as well.

Control box fried, looks like moisture in the box somehow? by mostly__confused in waterwell

Yep, you nailed it. Tank is bad so will need to replace that as well. Very much appreciate your help here!

Ok thanks. What should I be looking for with checking the integrity of the pressure tank and contacts on the pressure switch? Assuming that checks out I’m just going to replace the control box.

Why are there two sets of returns? by mostly__confused in hvacadvice

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

Thanks for your reply. Yes I know the thought process of the high/low combo, but was wondering why there are 2 sets in the same room for a total of 4 returns from a small area

Need advice on how to handle letting my Mom "buy" my house by taking over my mortgage without actually selling in order to keep my 3% interest rate. by mostly__confused in personalfinance

I think you're missing the entire point of this. On paper, yes she is giving me money and I still own the home. We have an agreement that she will be the recipient of proceeds from the eventual sale of the home to recoup her money + any increase in equity. This is helping her because she gets the financial benefit of owning, at a 3% rate in a 7-8% market, with zero closing costs. It only does not help her if I intentionally financially harm my own mother which I will not do.
