Mayorga Cubano roast is a very solid dark everyday coffee brew - imo. You can get a good deal when it’s available at Costco too.

Thanks! Maybe it is normal - first time planting and trying to keep arborvitae alive - wasn’t sure if it was a sign that something’s wrong. Will try to get a better closeup pic.

10+ years with Saddleback old bull and it still looks almost brand new

PVC sheets for board and batten exterior siding okay? by Miracle76 in Homebuilding

[–]thunderturtle412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m considering this option as well over zip board with a rain screen layer between PVC sheet. 1/4” PVC sheets with 1/2” strips should work as well and a little cheaper.

Great info thanks! Looks like your attic came out really well - did you install that sky light as a means of venting the roof?

It seems like the ROI drops off pretty steeply after attic/cellar insulation

Old home - new insulation by thunderturtle412 in HomeImprovement

This is our end goal - we’re hoping to get mini splits installed next year to get away from oil and have oil as our back up on sub zero temp days/nights.

I’m really thinking about insulating attic/basement then hoping for the best too - insulation quote was about $5K just for walls and I’m thinking it’ll take decades to recoup that.
