Does anyone recognize which model of North Face backpack I picked up at a thrift store? I checked Google Lens and can't seem to find a match. Could this possibly be a bootleg?
What is the best bang for the buck for a DIY home owner? It's really confusing and no one seems to agree. Is attic insulation or ventilation the best place to start? My attic has to be 140 degrees. I do have a whirly bird, a dozen can lights that are not insulation contact rated and one access in the house.
I plan on replacing the lights this winter because I know that's like having a 3" hole in my ceiling.
Does sheet radiant barrier do anything? Can i put more insulation over my existing batts? Considering how few times I access the attic from the one inside the house (mainly use the one in the garage), should I semi permanently seal it?
My house is comfortable and even in the worst heat, I can keep the house at 70 degrees and my electricity bills are fairly low for a 1600 sq ft house ($200 averaged monthly).
For those that catalog or spreadsheet your collection, what information do you include or think necessary?
I thrifted some nice copper bottom Calphalon pans with carbonized build on the exteriors. After an hour of scrubbing with BKF, I have the bottom of one pan looking good. What do you use to remove the build up before polishing? I’ve seen oven cleaner being discussed but was hoping for a better solution. They are in really bad shape but are scratch free.
