Home Improvement Today?

We've got the Panasonic WhisperWarm in both bathrooms. Worth every penny. The heat portion gets used all the time and the big surprise was the night light feature. If we have guests it makes it way easier for them to find the guest bath at 2AM. In the master it makes it way easier to see where I'm aiming at 2AM. Out of all the features the night light was the one I thought was the most gimmicky. Turns out it's more useful then I ever would have guessed.

 

Thank you both for the insight! It was an honest question — I’m not a contractor. Not sure what all I can do to remedy it. Home stays very warm during the winter but I think that’s the heavy lifting of new duct work and a heat pump. Still have a brand spanking new wood insert sitting on a pallet in the living room so we’ll see how a less advanced source heats the house without a moisture barrier. I did see that the insulation around the lights I pulled out was dirty. Top side (facing the attic) was all clean.

 

I put the round one of this brand in my bathroom with the speaker and after 9 months the LED ring in it is half lit and sometimes flickering on and off. Can this be fixed or should i just buy another?

 

Might have to call them, i looked but didnt see parts listed

 

there is no real "fix" for a missing air/vapour barrier without an extensive energy retrofit , thats just the nature of older buildings and how they were constructed at the time , you shouldn't worry too much about it , I was more commenting on how ridiculous it is that it is still in your current code for new construction

 

if its feasible , try to get at least 4' of straight ducting run from the fan before any elbows , more is better . Really helps keep the noise level down

 

Looks like Amazon cheap chinesium fart fan. I spent the extra bucks for the Panasonic WhisperQuiet and I'm glad I did.

 

I could maybe get 2', if that.

 

Exhaust fan with light

Lowe's. That makes it higher quality, right?

 

I think I ordered two of my Panasonic whisper quiets from Lowes, one was from Amazon.

 

Same brand just different label

 

Getting back to this mess, here's a pic. This is the outside joist, any way that I shim it will be visible. I planned on having the deck boards extend past the edges about 1/2", I like that look much better then the "picture frame" style which would require a trim board. Although, a trim board would hide the mistake and a shim between the joist and deck beam.



The last option that I can think of is to get a 2x10 and rip it down to 7 1/2" at the joist hanger and 7 3/4" at the deck beam.

 

So yous all getting fans with speakers to cover up the sounds of ya power dumping?

 

Is that running parallel to house?

 

Saturday I installed a new entry door. To achieve proper plumb, the lower left exterior corner was about 3/4" proud of the sheathing...lovely. Trimmed out the interior and exterior today. Padded out the exterior trim and kick plate/board some to give the appearance of everything being aligned/even. Used a jig to cut a pie shaped extension jamb/filler for interior. 1/2" at top and 1 1/8" at bottom. Nice clean cut. Replaced most of the exterior trim, but kept and patched a few pieces. Wasn't able to match the original fluted trim, but this is close enough. Homeowner intends to get a coat of paint on soon.

 

I remember having to make up trim like that on my old house in Mississippi. Was not fun at all...



Yes, that color got changed

 

It's not too bad. Some wood glue and a pin nailer hold that top assembly in place.

 

Piece of trim sounds reasonable.
