    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That's awesome thank you! First thing that will be installed at the cottage is a new 100A panel as the 60A isn't enough for the cottage as is. I have the panel, just need to find the time and talk to a good GTAMer here about installation and when it can be done (and for how much). I know...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Good to know there's DIY options. I thought they needed an HVAC tech 100% for any charging of the system. Will look into it. The cottage does have ducting, but no AC. We had one in the basement for many years but ended up throwing it out as it was for the old freon (R134?) that is no longer...

    Question for the brain trust. Cottage is approx 700sqft +/- with gas furnace and is year round. Looking to get air conditioning into it as some weekends it's unbearably hot in there. Mini-split or traditional air conditioner? Currently have a 10,000BTU window AC that I'll be installing, but...

    Anyone have a reference for a waterproofing company? Dad found water spots on the wall today and water pooling underneath.

    Thanks! Sadly my Surface Pro 3 isn't able to run Blender due to graphics card issues. I've got SketchUp here on the laptop so will try that or other options.

    Any recommendations on free software for home layouts? Mapped out full cottage on paper but would like to transfer it to a 3D layout.

    I don’t disagree at all. My friends / family work in Reno’s and only deal with big Reno’s so to them…there are no poor people. Just wish with massive cottages, garages with double decker lifts, lambos, Ferraris, and McLarens. They don’t understand that there are poor people…interestingly...

    Everyone knew that it's gonna rocket (pun intended) to the moon (pun intended) for the foreseeable future. How long that lasts...that's the gamble.

    What are you reading?

    Yup, agreed. I'm mid-40s and I think it's too heavy of a read for me but slowly going through it. He's not getting his hands on IT until at least 12-14 years old. Since I'm back to RTO much more often, time to take the dust off the old audiobooks and start borrowing from the library system...
