Doing some backyard upgrades! Should I spend extra on an outdoor tv?

We're just about finished with our patio so the tv will be the last thing I need to take care of. The patio is covered so the tv won't be totally out in the elements, but I'm slightly concerned about humidity and having wind blowing rain in. I seriously considered getting a regular tv and just risking it, but I didn't want to replace it after a few months.

It's mainly for movies and sports when we have people over. Probably more daytime use than anything else. I'm trying to keep my budget around $1,500-$2,000 or could be more than that if there's a really good reason for it. Do you know any good outdoor tvs within that price range? Or should I just risk it with a cheap indoor tv?

Looking for solutions to seal my pre-war apartment

I live in an older apartment that has a few cracks due to wear and tear over time. I need to do my best to close as many as possible as I’ve had more than my fair share of unwanted guests. I notice them most around the baseboards, trims, and at corners. There are a few types of gaps:

  • Gaps between the base boards and the floor
  • Openings between pieces of base boards
  • Larger openings in the walls
  • Openings around pipes that run through the floor
  • Small gaps on the walls around the windows

For the most part, every surface is made of wood that’s been painted over. I’d love to know what would be the best method to seal everything and ensure, as much as possible. If there are any more questions I can answer to help steer recommendations, I’m happy to. Any help would be much appreciated.

New Door question

We are looking at replacing this door that goes out to the side of the house.

It is the primary exterior door, and it opens up to the kitchen sink on the right side, and what will be a countertop under the window on the left side, which will be used for dropping keys, wallets, etc.

Do you think we should flip the swing of the door or would it make it awkward to have an open door swing into the kitchen sink?
