I genuinely don’t understand this sub at this point
Lately I’ve been seeing more and more posts of people renovating outdated kitchens only to receive a barrage of comments telling them they shouldn’t have.. remodeled their kitchen.
90s colors and materials? “It had so much character!”
Ancient yellow oak cabinets with drawers on wood slides? “Don’t you dare touch that gorgeous wood!”
There are a multitude of reasons people want to remodel their kitchen, for a more efficient layout, better materials and hardware, and yes sometimes people like a more modern look. If you like old kitchens and dated design choices to the point that you wouldn’t update a kitchen that 9/10 people would agree needs it, perhaps this sub isn’t for you.

Impact position 2021 -> 2026
I knew I had an issue with early extension but man did I not realize how much more to it there was than just “keep your butt back” after thousands of balls on my simulator, I feel like I’m finally leading with my lower body and pulling the club vs throwing it over my shoulder. Now just just work on my short game..

Why don’t “smart dampers” exist?
Looking to add automatic dampers to zone control my home. My air handler is in the garage with easy access to the main trunk lines that run to the first and second floor. I live in the mid Atlantic, so the shoulder months are long and we are constantly swapping back and forth between heating and cooling.
I have been looking for something that meets the description below, that after some searching doesn’t seem to exist. It is very similar to the Flair smart vent setup, which I had at an old home.
Setup:
- one smart thermostat with sensors (such as ecobee, ecobee doesn’t need to know the sensors are in zones it just needs to integrate with ecobee)
- you tag one or multiple sensors to a particular zone.
- On the duct is an electronic damper with onboard controls that can connect to WiFi. The only wires fed to the damper is 120v (or shoot even a rechargeable battery), no separate low voltage damper control, no additional thermostats.
- according to the parameters you set on the dampers app, when the zone tied to this damper needs heating or cooling, as defined by the temp reading on the sensor, the hvac is kicked on and the damper is opened. If the sensor(s) do not need heating or cooling, the damper stays closed, even if the thermostat has turned on the system for other areas.
The only solution I can find are what feels like an antiquated setup; a damper, a control board, and a thermostat. A lot what feels like too much wiring in today’s wireless marketplace.
Am I missing something? Are dampers just not considered “DIY” so no one has bothered?
