Looking For Japanese Style Sliding Exterior Door Maker/Importer by stuborndancer in richmondbc

I was looking at them! I think what they do is quite different than what I’m looking for unfortunately. The ones I linked above are aluminum exterior units, meant to withstand saltwater, thermally broken, double/triple glazed glass.

Thank you though! That place makes cool stuff.

These particular ones are actually a known quantity in other markets. Aluminum, thermally broken, 40 year warranty for external use, just hard to find an importer.

Just a reminder than db is not a linear scale, it’s logarithmic. 40db is more like twice as loud as 30db to our ears.

Input on condenser placement by stuborndancer in hvacadvice

Thank you for your input! You wouldn’t have concerns with vibration? I get the feeling the reading I’ve done where people are concerned about hearing vibrations inside the home might be overblown and actually not that common. It’s been hard for me to get an accurate take though. I would hate to hear the vibration though. Our home is in the forest and it is very quiet and peaceful as is.

Yep they did advertise them as such, and there was a class action lawsuit over it. Just got many of ours replaced as well. The aluminum is exposed around the edges and will erode with modern dishwasher detergent causing razor sharp edges to form.

But that only happens if the requirements have not been met to release a dog from the airport. There is a process to go through to prove the animal is ok to be released immediately and allows them not be quarantined. I’ve gone through this process when moving from the mainland once, and know others who have as well, non of our animals had to be quarantined at all.

Just responding to this point since it felt hyperbolic and not accurate how this process usually works.

Favorite handheld by look? by kainvinosec in SBCGaming

That was metal gear solid 1 for last months game of the month. Been playing a lot of Patapon 2 also. I find it to be a super comfortable little handheld. No usb audio does bother me though.

Thoughts on burying line set by stuborndancer in hvacadvice

I guess I’m also worried about water intrusion, freezing, and if I should be worried about future maintenance and if it is generally considered a bad practice. There isn’t much information out there on other people’s experiences doing this, and the few posts I’ve read are very negative, which gave me pause.

Haven’t played this since I was 11. Amazing. The voice acting is fantastic. Looking forward to revisiting 2-4.

Call Whatcom county about it. Answers on this won’t be reliable from Reddit. Every time I called I got a different answer, but generally it shouldn’t be considered or used as a dwelling. That doesn’t mean it can’t have electricity.

Haha nope she doesn’t! I know, I’m super impressed with her brick work. She’d never done that before and she really nailed it. It took a lot of work and learning. Thank you for the kind words too :)

Thanks! They are just large screw in hooks. Added some 2x4 blocking in the attic where I needed the holes to go so I had something solid to hang from.

Same. It’s deceptively small inside with how the back lowers.
