These helped me clean up the air when a bunch of plaster was getting bashed out in our house. Got some super high merv 2x10x10's off Nordicpure and rigged them up like this around the house.

Elviscat posted:Ah, but do you line up the screws horizontal, vertical, or at a perfect 45⁰? What do you do when that last 179⁰ makes the plate too tight and bulges/cracks it, but 180⁰ back is just a little too loose and gaps the plate from the wall? Look buddy I'll snap the 18¢ plate in my bathroom if I want stop creeping around my house. (it's recently starting spidering cracks despite being stable for years.) That's what spacers are for.

Elviscat posted:Good point. If you wake up to a bat in your house you're supposed to go get rabies shots immediately. It's 100% fatal, do not pass go, do collect your life insurance. If you found the bat while awake you're probably fine. You should call your doctor immediately.

Elviscat posted:While that is true, I handled him with a towel and he never got his little bat teeth anywhere near my skin, even when he was trying to crawl up my arm he only ever touched the towel, and an extremely thick Carhartt jacket with a long sleeve shirt underneath. Yup. If he got in while awake you're probably fine. But like make sure you deed that

I love the ambiguous "cold water clothes line" or "air hose". Please don't tell me what it is, or point out the air compressor.

Elviscat posted:The Ford Ranger might be the finest pickup ever built, but it's not really ideal for 16' lengths of lumber. (That super duty is loading like 10 sticks of PVC trim, the owner has a step ladder so he can reach the bed) And a verrrry small penis. Today on the freeway I saw a hero. Honda civic ex with some ~1-2" pipes sticking several feet out of the sunroof going down the freeway near Anaheim, CA. They must have been 6' sections. ADA license plate and everything. It made me very happy.

Elviscat posted:And maybe smoke from the more and more frequent wildfires I've been really happy with both of my Austin Air base model units. They're spendy, but the filter lasts 5 years, made in the USA, real support on the phone with friendly real people, and I couldn't smell smoke in my house mid wildfire here in socal.

Slugworth posted:Someone educate me, I thought heat pumps were not used in areas that got cold enough for snow? I had never seen one until I left the Midwest (and the technology still confuses me, despite me now owning one). You know how AC works by compressing some gas into a liquid outside (which makes it hot, a fan then dumps that heat. Run your air compressor and touch the tank, it will be warm.), then pipes it into your indoor condenser where it lets it suddenly expand into a gas (which makes it cold, ever notice how a spray can gets cold as you use it?) the forced air unit then pushes that coldness into your house. Well what if you ran the system in reverse? Now the gas compresses into a liquid, and they let it expand outside. That expansion is colder than the outdoor ambient air temperature (-26.3C for R134a). Blow a fan of 0C snowy air over it and you've just gained 26.3C in temperature. Now start compressing that gas back into a liquid indoors... It fucks with my head every time too, but it's the phase change of the gas that is creating delta-T that you can capture heat from, not just fans blowing air around.
