While I did find them useful for a number of tasks (weather, checking store hours, some periodic radio/music streaming, viewing the outdoor cameras, finding my charming & delightful roommate’s keys), I have other ways to do each of those things that don’t involve sending my conversations...
When a new carpet is installed, there’s a very good chance it will release chemicals from its vinyl backing and the glue used to hold the carpet to the floor. This release of chemicals is known as off-gassing. Some of these chemicals have been associated with headaches, dizziness, nausea...
It is hard to tell from the photo above, but structurally things are pwned. It is all bad. I had to fish joist-hangers and scrap 2x6 parts from my shed so we can make it hold the weight of a human. Lots of the plywood already there was "delaminated" which means in laymen terms ...
Thankfully the rain mostly runs off so there is no damage yet, but OSB is not meant to be exposed to the elements for any length of time because it will eventually become a sponge. I could have used plywood, but screw that once the shingles are on it won't matter. It's just a ...

^I got the harder parts of the deck done first, the steps. I was also able to use some plywood scraps to keep access to the house. I wasn't sure how the dogs would do on it, but they handled it like a boss. In fact earlier in the week they were both outside when I opened ...
Moisture got in behind the vinyl siding over the course of many years, and I had to rebuild some of it. For sure I will at minimum be using zip tape if not housewrap so I can keep that plywood covered and protected from future rot. ...
