    In Canada they are a life saver, I think if you have average to decent windows it's much less results so to speak. My rental has extremely drafty windows and the plastic did great. Also added insulated blinds ( great for hot summer ) as well thermal curtains ( also great for summer. ) I have no drafts and the heat bill as well gas consumption was very noticeable. These three things are fairly cheap to upgrade ish. Well worth it for long term rental

    I am not a venting expert, just a plumber with some venting experience. When I bought my 20-year old house, the range hood was not connected to any venting whatsoever, a code violation in BC. The top of the cupboards was lined with uncleanable grease which I paved over with plywood. I ended up venting it with ABS pipe directly through the roof. I terminated it with a hardware store low-profile aluminum vent that covers it to keep the rain and snow meltwater out of the kitchen. The key here, for the uninitiated, is to get advice on how to integrate and overlay your current roofing material with the vent cover. Caulking alone will not suffice, but you will need tar-style caulking additionally. Ask a roofer friend to demo the method for you. Otherwise, its a doable DIY project. A last thought is safety. I had a friend both hold the ladder and be ready with a cellphone should I fall off ! A fall might incapacitate your ability to phone for help.

  • @dirtysouthfishing3674
    @dirtysouthfishing3674 Месяц назад

    I see just few things right off the bat that would help you a little bit if you ever find yourself doing this again. Just from my experience if you were to scrape back or sand about 6 to 10 inches of the existing texture around or in this case on both sides of the repair it gives you more area to then try and feather your new texture into the old. Another thing is I wouldn’t advise using the mud right out of the bucket the way it comes. It is in fact pre mixed mud but you need to always get a paddle mud mixer attachment for a good drill and mix that mud up real good yourself. What that does is if you notice you can sometimes see a bit of water just sitting on top of the mud when you first open it so when you mix it yourself with the drill essentially it gives you the right consistency your looking for. If it’s still too thick you can always add a LITTLE bit of water at a time until you get it how you want it. Less is more bc you can always add water but if you thin it too much you will then have to add more mud to make up the difference. It’s a battle sometimes but the more you do it you will figure it out and probably find your own ways you like to prepare the mud for the stomp texture. Good luck and I hope this may help some of you guys and gals out there that are just now trying to learn this technique!
