Dave’s house

That’s where the plumbing runs under the slab, also one of the reasons I had concerns of the concrete quality, also why I am not doing stained concrete anymore

As far as my concrete concerns. Everyone has simply brushed me off as none issue.  Frustrated with it I have passed over it.

As she sits out side is done, plumbers dropped off the stuff they need to work tomorrow, the basement walls are all repaired from the HVAC guy, and the framing is 90% complete in the basement exterior walls.   Let’s see what the plumber takes a sawzall too

Does anyone on here know a hvac person to check my prices for verification of products?

Dave, this is kind of late request isn't it? You should have an idea if the contractor is supplying a good product at a reasonable price. This isn't really a good time to start arm wrestling about price or what is being installed is it?

The HVAC Guy is actually a 18 year old friend, checked the prices with a few sources and seems to all be ok

I know a HVAC guy. Did my house years ago and it is still solid. Not his main venue now, but he knows his stuff.

Looks good Dave. If you haven't already, double check the window installation.  Common source of leaks if not installed properly.

So why don’t they use tyvek or house wrap out there Dave?  Always find regional building practices interesting.

It’s an option for sure, I have seen over the years that if you seal up the home to tight it can cause issues. The one closest to home was my grandfathers house.  He had some medical issues turned out that he needed to put a fresh air exchanger in his home to fix it

We do put a type wrap on the home, not the tyvek brand, one type of stuff under the brick/stone and a different type under the smart board/stucco.  That is done by the guys doing those things. 

It still leaves overlaps and gaps on parts of the house.  On purpose or not I am not positive.   

We have builders who but a shrink wrap stuff on the outside.  Not sure it’s worth that extreme

Charles, we had issues back in Indiana with houses being sealed up too tight as well. As Dave stated in some cases fresh air handlers were installed. I have never heard of them here on the front range though but we don’t get as hot (including humidity) or near as cold as where I used to live. So my thought is temperature range has something to do with it too. I’m sure someone has a much better take on it than I but that’s my 2 cents.

The wrap allows breathing but some homes need more, hence the exchangers.We do it here in cali and our temps go from 30 to 110.

Sure Jarod would know more but you get snow and heat there, sure it is justified somehow.

After two long days of pulling wire I feel I have about got it licked.

I start with about 10 partial boxes of cat6  a friend gave me from his business, each box has more than 45feet, less than 120 feet.  I also purchased 2 boxes of 1000 feet
16/4 wire I used for home run wire for volume controls
18/2 wire I used for home speakers and surround sound stuff


All in all I have two camera locations at each corner of the house, front door cam, inside garage cam, prewired for those new fancy permanent LED Christmas lights that change color for the wife, I have multiple cat6 lines in every room and almost every possible location, I have attic mounted wires for the wireless net repeaters, cat6 to appliances, desks,  TVs, garage bench areas, decks and patios,

Once we get some insulation in this coming week I will be glad to cover up that web of wires and start building a coms rack to house all of it.

The estimate I got to have someone com instal this stuff where I wanted it was $50 a run and more for the audio stuff.

I figured at this rate I saved about $2400 minus my wires cost of $479 and not being completely done with some extra places I will run some more for giggles and craps

IMO that is the stuff that makes you really love your house no matter the finishes or cost. Having all the technology squared away is priceless.

I couldn't agree more!

My castle, err house was like that.

For clarity, I started out with funding a house...But I was in Afghanistan...for years, while she changed it into a castle.

I remember when she called me to argue for the installation of a theater room! (A FREAKIN THEATER ROOM!!!)
All the while I was living in a broom closet, or more accurately, some stinky, dusty, hot helicopter cockpit somewhere.

So I rolled on it and we had a theater theng installed. Not long afterward the technology all changed and we were behind the times. Then the stuff started to fail, and then she changed internet providers and there were incompatibility issues.

Today, the thing no longer works! More, if truth be known, because, I just don't care much about it!

I think it's all just a trap to keep people in debt for longer and longer (Hashtag: Enslavement)
