They're able to do it from the outside. Remove some shingles/lengths of vinyl, drill 1-2" holes in the center of the stud bays, and inject insulating foam.
I do eventually want to do that but that's a huge job. Basically need to gut the entire house down to the studs, super messy as well. The kitchen would be the hardest, with the cabinets, sink etc. Maybe will do it one of these days though just no immediate plans. It would not really cost that much, just be super tedious.

Sennheiser momentum 4 wireless headphones are on sale everywhere for 299, so just ordered a pair. I know I'll like the sound signature on these better than the Sony offering
Also ordered a pair of the Neumann NDH 30 for my desktop DAC and amp setup. I love me some good open back headphones. Can't beat the soundstage

It looks gimmicky but the shiny stuff really does reflect heat like one of those mylar "space" blankets. Can't wear it unless temps are around freezing because you sweat your chonies off.
I bought one of those about a decade ago when they were silver. It did seem warmer than an equivalent jacket but hard to say for sure. Somehow I lost it though.It looks gimmicky but the shiny stuff really does reflect heat like one of those mylar "space" blankets.

Chimney sweeps were the first documented population with an occupational cancer risk. Don’t end up singing falsetto.Yeah for sure I'll probably want to do it a few times a year to be safe too until I get an idea how much it needs to be done. I'll mostly be burning pine because it's just the easiest to find so that can also be messier wood. I have a pile of cedar from when I cut my hedges though so I'll burn that this year. I kept it for when my parents make camp fires but they don't do many anymore so I will bring it all in the house to dry, but it should already be seasoned at this point. I'll probably buy a load of seasoned wood too.

I don't think it's necessary. It isn't a very dusty process. You brush the chimney, the chunks fall down, and you vacuum them out. Don't stick your head in the chimney while breathing deeply. For homeowner use, the minimal exposure won't hurt. For professional use, I'd be more concerned about the soot on my skin.I imagine the early days were much more dirty but that's good to know... didn't realize you could get cancer from soot. Probably want to wear a mask when I'm doing it.
Quite true (worked as a bike shop wrench myself for almost a decade) but there’s something about how good that alu stiffness feels when you stand and sprint.Yep, the feel of steel is real. Yes it can be heavier but depending upon your style of riding, is just perfect. After riding aluminum for most of my life I worked at a bike shop and discovered steel frames. My two Soma frames that are built are both steel and perfect for my mostly urban riding, plus some gravel/rail trails riding. Helps reduce that chitter chatter from the roads better than aluminum, and carbon is just way too expensive.
Cool, been meaning to get into growing my own stuff. I need to do a huge cleanup in my basement/crawlspace and setup an area for it.
What are you growing?
