@greenbuildingnetwork The lime wash looks pretty viscous. Is it thin enough to spray on basement foundation walls?
@GreenBuildingNetwork 2 күн бұрын
@@matthewlamoreaux2695 it can be sprayed with a little planning. It’s pretty rough on sprayers though - the line corrodes a lot of the inner components. Goes on really nice with a masonry brush! Brushing is nice in the sense it locks up and knocks out the loose stuff

I began renovations on a house with the same floor plan. Looks like N Philly. My intention was to restore its original architectural design and character. Reintroduce the original parlor, repair and install the glazed french doors, etcetera. No bathroom on the first floor. The bathroom is upstairs and in the finished basement.

@@GreenBuildingNetwork We had cedar siding in our basement (1978 ranch) and used it as siding on a shed we built. We find a use for so much, but sometimes it just has to be put in the landfill. We made a mirror frame out of wide 100 year old baseboard, picture frames out of old gray porch wood, and even a mat for a picture frame out of bald-faced hornet nest paper.

about 75% of the wiring in the house was knob and tube. We don't find much mold in old houses, which shocks a lot of people. Sometimes we're find mold under a roof leak or a leaky pipe. We see a TON of mold in new construction. they're not as drafty as the older houses

I'd be interested to know why you're doing mini-splits instead of a high-velocity system for the whole house?
@GreenBuildingNetwork 19 күн бұрын
A combination of reasons. We're definitely opening up enough walls and ceilings for hv ducting. We want multiple zones, though. Single zone Rowhomes are notorious for major temp and humidity discrepencies between lower and upper floors. We chose the ducted minisplits based on the original closet placement and size, as well as the ceiling height. We can install the units in the ceilings of closets without killing too much space and have short duct runs to the rooms their servicing. Short answer is the zoning we can get lol
