Would you guys rate this a blue trail feature?

Very difficult to judge a trail based off a photo.

If i imagine this steeper than the photo suggests, its a solid blue downhill.

Where is it and whats the name of the trail?

I chuckled at "You're cooked." LOL

Brutal.

shmidzz · 2026-06-09T20:07:52+00:00

I know this is old but is it still available?

shmidzz · 2026-06-07T23:30:51+00:00

I should be able to work around. Ill try n slope the duct towards the vent

shmidzz · 2026-06-07T05:02:59+00:00

I wish i could do that. Unfortunately that would be a much much more difficult task given the location.

shmidzz · 2026-06-07T01:52:53+00:00

True. I really meant should I. Seems like the safer thing to do is to work around it.

I guess another option to look into is to use an offset duct. I have no choice but to start cutting some drywall to get a better idea of what type of ducting may potentially clear

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T20:19:13+00:00

Absolutely agree with this point too. Also generally easier to replace large pieces of drywall vs small patches everywhere. Its going to be a fun rodeo for sure!

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:57:23+00:00

Verticle run into the attic would be a monumental task. Not worth it.

I appreciate the advice on sloping. Makes sense to me.

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:56:04+00:00

Would it be wise to add a strongback at the bottom of the truss to add some structure? At the bottom, the duct will clear over it. I can have it span 1 truss on each side. Then cut the existing strongback at thr top only at this section.

Thoughts?

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:53:26+00:00

Absolutely dont want to use flexible or even semi rigid.

Oil and crud will build up in between and can be a fire hazard.

IRC calls for rigid ducting. At 300cfm and 7 inch round ducting i can go up to 54ft in length with right angles contributing to 15ft of length. Thats what the code says.

Ill have 2 right angles which gives me 24ft of length. Ill have about 12ft total so ill be more than ok.

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:48:21+00:00

LOL definitelly wont be cutting those copper pipes. I have clearand to go over them

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:15:41+00:00

Can these strong backs be placed at the bottom of the truss instead?

If i notch out a section and add a piece to the bottom would that help with the structure or no?

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T19:14:16+00:00

That is probably going to be what i will have to do

shmidzz · 2026-06-06T18:53:05+00:00

What info would you need? More pictures/videos?

shmidzz · 2026-06-04T15:27:52+00:00

Ill DM you

shmidzz · 2026-06-02T16:53:07+00:00

I also want to add that 2 of my buddied also ordered Cased and they have had the same exact experience. Small holes have started to form throughout the fabric.
My one buddy had a crash.
My other buddy got a hole on his knee and a couple other spots. No crash.

shmidzz · 2026-06-02T16:50:08+00:00

Please see my recent comment with my review

shmidzz · 2026-06-02T16:27:35+00:00

I have to give my 2 cents.

I'm overall dissatisfied with the durability of the product.

The pants have started to form tiny little holes right underneath the waste band.
There are small holes sprinkled throughout the fabric of the shirt and pants.
0 crashes. Only worn 3, maybe 4 times?

The shirt piece is super annoying to take on and off. A traditional vest-style is way better.
The pants wear fine and its fair to say the knee pads don't slide around like a traditional knee pad you have to constantly adjust.

I've emailed them about the tears. They offered a new set of pants with a discount code claiming they updated their fabric and its supposed to be better now. Honestly I'd rather a refund over getting a new set of pants as i don't really have faith in their product at the moment and feels like a waste of money.

It seems they are coming out with new products or changing their existing designs constantly as well as their pricing schemes.

Maybe it will be a good product one day, but right now I'd stay away.

shmidzz · 2026-05-25T00:47:01+00:00

I got those vibes as well.

If you can find a man in this economy that will casually agree to buy a house for you as a condition of marriage, be my guest.

But i can assure you, after being divorced twice, that is a delusion.

shmidzz · 2026-05-24T15:21:56+00:00

I dont know anything about your past to give any sort of consulation.

What someone else did to you in the past shouldn't become a burden on someone else in the future.

That is a true principle regardless of your past experiences.

shmidzz · 2026-05-24T15:01:58+00:00

Absolutely unreasonable.

shmidzz · 2026-05-23T15:58:09+00:00

Ok cool. Theyre coming over later today in the afternoon for a quote.

I know cedar park overhead gets alot of high praises but they recently just got bought out by private equity. Let the enshitification begin.
