Sorry all around that I am a hopeless IGer but you should check out our UnBuild It YouTube. I’m much better at that! :-)

We should all stick to our areas of expertise! This is my neighbor who is an ace mechanic. Yesterday I got the snowblower running but added too much motor oil which ended up greasing the friction plate driving the wheels. So Ariel had to take the whole bloody thing apart to discover the oil on the friction plate that was my fault. And that means two hours that she worked on this when we could’ve been snowblowing the nearly two feet of snow. I am only going to post this photo because the other one shows her giving me the finger. :-) Thanks Ariel

Looking forward to 2 upcoming Home Building Crossroads events with @stevenbaczekarchitect ! Join us to discuss the changes in the energy code as they relate to the Building Enclosure. Discussions focus on how performance components of insulation, water management, air leakage, and HVAC relate to a whole as the building enclosure. Registration links: -Aug 12 & 13: https://huber.zoom.us/webinar/register/7915924125315/WN_DUFoQ0dhSBOKXcDwrAe7Kg -Aug 18 & 19: https://huber.zoom.us/webinar/register/2515924222031/WN_zwP8tLkUR4uv7ETA2nblKg

You know that building science trick where each ply of toilet paper held on its own against a bath exhaust grille represents 25 cfm of air flow? Well we have a winner!

Never seen this before: the little triangular roof returns where typically you would see a “bird seat” return but maybe thats the point: no birds no droppings..

WTF? ......This is how you test for a cracked flow sensor on a TEC blower door fan. See TEC “Procedure for Field Checking Model 3 Blower Door” no Tongue in cheek here....
