well, my new metal roof is half done and my upstairs temperature is already down to a point where the AC can cope with it. I got the most reflective option which might have been overkill, but now I can chill out upstairs and look down on the peasants who are blinded by the light reflecting off my shiny new roof

Well, finally 100% done with my upstairs. Metal roof is on, windows are replaced, rotted out dormers replaced, upstairs AC unit now drains properly from both main unit and drain pan. As always, huge pain in the rear end with fixing larger problems slanting down into fixing incrementally smaller problems Tunicate fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Aug 9, 2022 |

well, now that I finally have the upstairs nice and cool with its own dedicated AC unit, the downstairs AC unit just died 20 years old and used R22, needs a full replacement and lowest quote I've got is $7500 fun

slurm posted:People act like this is a perk of renting but my landlord took over a year to repair the AC last time it went out so at least you can have this the most competent property manager I had made a point of showing that he installed two fully functional AC systems in every group of apartments specifically so we'd still have AC if one of them died. the least competent landlord sent a guy with a can of spray-foam to clog up the hole a rat chewed in the wall, which lasted about 2 hours. land of contrasts anyway, at least I'm also replacing a 30-year-old gas furnace so it could be worse.

Corla Plankun posted:* In both cases the amount of time it takes to program is easily double the amount of time you'd save in a year if you just manually did the thing. The sprinkler's programming interface is a dial with magic positions, an enter key, and no other buttons on the other hand, if I just manually had to turn sprinklers on and off on a fixed schedule they'd just never get turned on

Lol a company said our house had asbestos on popcorn that was installed in 2000 (bu in a house that was built when asbestos could have been in it). That would have been a huge loving big deal so we roped in the local government and suddenly the company tested it again and what do you know they made a mistake and gave a full refund. So its possible they just lazily looked at the construction date and didnt bother testing.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Would it make much of a difference if the roof was painted white, or is most of the heat coming from the climate control inside the house? color does cause a significant change in top of roof roof temperature (can be 30 C in summer) but not sure about how much it'd do about ice dams

Chaosfeather posted:Follow-up, I decided to test the kitchen water by doing a lot of dishwashing by hand tonight. The reaction seemed slower, but still present. I may have been imagining the slower, or it might have been from the lower average temp I was using to wash the dishes. Either way, it appears to be in three sinks and two showers in the apt. I'll look into pool places, though I am a little confused because if it's the chlorine, wouldn't I have reacted to swimming in chlorinated water as a child? I know allergies can develop with age, but this seems a little silly. just to check, you haven't changed soap brands or something, right?

In terms of AC in the summer, a white reflective metal roof did a lot for me. No need for panels. Just need to send the daystar's deadly rays back into space.

Just found out that the PO installed a toilet by half-cutting thru a joist to make way for a pipe, then realized he didn't actually need to do that. Found this out because we thought the wax seal was leaking a little, so had it replaced. Did a test flush afterwards and a ton of water came out, seems like actually the flange leaks, replacing the seal made it worse, and gonna have to replace the whole shebang.

update on joists situation, so here's the original cut in half joist from before it appears what actually happened is they cut out that big notch for Toilet A, and later on renovated to replace it with Toilet B, doing further joist damage in the process  note that the piping hole for Toilet B goes nicely across the edges of two pieces of plywood. Anyway it's sistered now with a couple of kickers added but the two questions the contractor had are A) how did this pass inspection during construction B) how did this pass inspection during purchase
