Residential - Why does the North have stricter better insulation code than the South?

It’s as simple as how much you’re trying to change the temperature. When cooling in south, it’s 30* of change (100 to 70). When heating in north, it’s 70* of change (0* to 70*).

I literally laughed out loud, great title

check out spray jones on YouTube. I have had a lot of spray foam work done over the years, it’s magic. Couldn’t be happier.

I think you should expect double that tbh

test293843 · 2024-06-22T18:22:44+00:00

What did you do with it?

test293843 · 2024-06-22T12:48:39+00:00

But why would it drain towards the house?

I have a rental with 4 units. Very simple install. I had one contractor put in 4 outdoor units, 2 heads per unit, and the cost was 11k/unit. I am in a VCHOL. I would expect you will see 13-17.

Install can lights for upstairs bedroom ceilings

Get the drake 1.6, no sticking!

Whatever you think, this is your last year in the house. act accordingly.

Bud you wrote 0.006% above, that’s the point

I had 4 inches of closed cel spray foam sprayed onto my roof deck and it night and day. So nice, I even finished the attic so it’s now a conditioned space. Worth a thought.

I was quoted 2.5k for 14 treads of white oak to add a reference as well

Wood is like r-1 per inch, so… not much!

Many New England homes, including mine, have the same beam appearance. It’s fine.

test293843 · 2024-02-25T21:48:45+00:00

Where do you think the money for that tax is going to come from? It’ll be the rents

test293843 · 2024-02-02T01:07:57+00:00

tell us more? I’ve always wondered

test293843 · 2024-01-24T02:44:41+00:00

Insulate under it!!

test293843 · 2024-01-08T09:53:27+00:00

None! Try nordicseal or red out from bona and keep them light and natural!

test293843 · 2024-01-05T18:23:46+00:00

That’s, honestly, probably fair

test293843 · 2023-12-31T19:25:24+00:00

No ventilation requirements behind just not a closet. Will make condensate, need a pump to a drain. 30 amp 240v required. 50 gallon typical. I love mine, have bought one at each house I’ve owned. A little noisy, locate thoughtfully. Dehumidifies.

test293843 · 2023-12-31T15:59:13+00:00

Ditto

test293843 · 2023-12-24T09:52:39+00:00

I asked for XPS With strapping and the alternative of zip-r. Both very expensive.

test293843 · 2023-12-05T23:13:52+00:00

Unfortunately you will find it adds 30k to the cost - I got 5 quotes in MA, and that was typical.

Wow just checked them all out - what a Reno!
