I can’t type anything unless I select a notebook. I’m not utilizing the notebook feature at all.

I’m using a company 365 premium subscription. This just started happening a week ago.

First time installing this. Used my first tube of sealant so I still have a few screws on this wall to seal. Not sure if I put enough sealant or not. Tried to ensure sealant extended 1”.

Niche still needs top and bottom piece.

Anyone see anything that’s alarming?

I have tracks so I dont really need them but could always use another battery. Have y’all seen this cheaper? I remember back in December they had the saw, battery and pack out case for it for a pretty good deal but I haven’t seen that come back.

Baton Rouge Louisiana. TiffTuff Bermuda that I put down about 4 months ago. This edge is brown most the time but will come back eventually. What’s causing only this area to be brown?

This is in the attic on our second story. The other side of the wall is the stair case. What’s the best type of insulation to replace it with. It’s 20+ year old insulation.

This air handler/ furnace is in the hallway of our 2nd story. The back side of it is in a jack and Jill bathroom between vanities. The area around this is not insulated and the drywall is extremely hot. Problem is the unit fits like a glove in its little compartment. About 1 to 1 1/2” of space around it. How could I insulate this?

See pics for detail

Celsius took care of everything but these weeds. Chat gpt gives me wrong answers lol.

This attic on our second floor is extremely hot. We have considered adding a solar vent fan but now considering spray foam insulation due to the roof of the attic being 130 degrees on a 92 degree day. Thoughts?

Also due to how this part of the roof slopes and the adjacent rooms, I don’t see any way air could get through to the ridge vent from this attic space. Soffits are clear from insulation

Leaning towards the battery combo. Are these batteries worth it? A bit of a novice.

We have a big issue with our house being too hot. We are opening up our bathroom walls and noticed this insulation. Ive been seeing a lot of insulation installs like the second picture with the plastic.

Would I be better off with that method and removing the 20 yr old insulation. This is an exterior wall with brick on the other side.

I know nothing about insulation so this may be a dumb question

Trying to get these studs plumbing as possible but it seems like every single board has a different issue. I’ve thought about just sistering each stud and calling it a day.

My question is how plumb do you have to get. For instance I have a 5 foot stone section but one stud is about 1/8” from touching the board. Will that gap be a huge issue for a smaller tile application?

So I replaced the valve and soldered the connections. I cleaned the original copper until it looked brand new before applying flux and soldering.

Good news is we have high water pressure and everything seems to be holding up. Ran the water for a bit and no issues and no leaks.

Question is: if it’s not leaking now does that mean I’m good to go or should I wait a while before closing up the wall.

Got a bit messy on some connections but overall I feel good about it.

Obviously not great, however lookin for yalls perspective on just HOW bad. I def feel like I had the flame too close to the fitting and on it for too long but the flux did its job and the solder was drawn into the joint

Replacing this valve and considered using pex + sharkbite max. Now I’m thinking just sweat new copper to the valve. Thoughts? Pex would be super fast.

Im a DIYer and not a professional but I do know how to solder copper and fit sharkbite properly.

ChatGPT recommended this. 20 yr old house and have large hot spots on walls and upstairs is 80+ degrees.

I understand this is not the fix but I’m looking for it to help a bit. Southern Louisiana is hot af. We have two new AC units and we have a temperature imbalance issue we are currently working on.

Really Just need to know if this is a good idea or not.
